 The dials are not an X-tra , they are " Instead " ,... in a way , they`re the main point of the camera , I would not choose the Df as a back-up for a Big D but as the main shooter , since I do n`t require video , if I needed a back-up I would go for another Df . price-wise that could be feasible , two Df`s for nearly the same price of one D4.

I agree with the comment that the Big D `s have evolved the way they have albeit in a "particular direction" ,and considering the Df`s build quality ( sealed everywhere ) I suspect it t` be a pro-shooter in its own right , returning to the " photographic route" pre-digital times .

I think that it`s in step with retrograde passion as seen in other " worlds" , in Hi-Fi there is the resurrection of valve amps. , many gitarists have also gone back to valves , even the transcription turntable is available again .

for me , I `ve gone over to digital because of the EASE and Quality , while retaing my lenses , I was wishing that the camera`s were a tad closer to home ( dials etc. ) so to me the Df is the answer .

In this day and age , many Pro`s NEED video capability and the Big D`s provide that, this is why I think that we`re wittnessing a new take on things, in Pro fashion no-less.
