My D800 and big f2.8 zooms are just too much to carry along when traveling, so I would bring my Fuji X100. However, I would constantly be wishing it were an SLR with a longer lens.
The Df with 50mm f1.8 is very light. It also has a D4 sensor inside. It doesn't have the pixel density of my D800, so its handholding and low-light capabilities should be better. So far I've only used it at ISO 200 in a studio setting. That said, there is no perceptible noise in the dark areas of the attached photo.
I also like the immediate visibility of the settings as shown on the mechanical dials. They also have locks on them so that you can't unknowingly change a setting by brushing against the dials, something I've done quite often with my D800.
I like the retro look, but that's just my taste and not a determining factor.
Sometimes I don't want or need the resolution of a D800. I don't need to see fine hairs or every skin imperfection. This is a shot from my Df...
