| Be interested to have a more in-depth review of why you like it and what you really like and dont like. For me it seems like a huge camera that really would have hit the mark if it had been smaller and a DX format. I guess we all have different needs and desire.

| I bought it for several reasons. 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... Attachment: _DFG0105.jpg (Downloaded 59 times)

| This is the equivalent shot with my D800. Both this and the Df shot are straight from the camera - no editing. Attachment: _D8G4886.jpg (Downloaded 58 times)

Here's a side-by-side comparison at 1:1. There is no noise in the shadows for the Df (left) and a little for the D800 (right). You can also see all the terrible flaws in her complexion with the D800. The Df brings a smile to her face, so I guess it makes models happier. Edit: It looks like the forum software shrunk my 1:1 comparison. Oh, well...Attachment: Df_D800.jpg (Downloaded 58 times)

Her expression suggests she likes the Df better ....as well as it liking her better.  It's a good example of perfect resolution not necessarily being needed for some subject.

| I did n`t know Body paint was still in , great example btw., it`s got everything for a good assesment. Seems that D800 draws a little harsh making the hair stand out , but I suppose software can take care of that , .. How do you perceive the camera , Big-ish..small-ish-- just right ... tell us more, please:thumbsup:

| I have a Df I think it a great camera you can go auto every thing are you can set it all with easy to get to dials and a couple of wheels every thing you need for stills I do not like the software it is to basic and no tether software like canon gives you. you have to buy for about $200 o well I guess I will half to suffer and save my .05 .10 cents to buy control camera control 2 pro and Lightroom 5

| Lightroom 5 has a built in tethering feature that seems to work for most cameras that I have tested it with.
