I think  it will sell quite well. Should be a big hit with the baby boomers.

The dials look deceptively uncomplicated and it looks like a "real camera", something that will last for years, and besides it will take those old Nikor film camera lenses sitting up in the attic.:thumbsup:

If I had some of those old lenses I'd be tempted by this. I reckon they have just end boosted the e-bay value of MF lenses quite a bit!

I don't know what to think about it. There will be those that go for it, I think the price will be the thing that slows down sales.

Totally agree. The price is ludicrous compared to the D610.


There was a lively debate on the Fuji forum comparing the DF with the X system. Its quite clear that weight and price rule the day. The weight issue being that, stick a quality nikon lens on this body and it will be 2x the weight of the Fuji with equivalent IQ results.

I find that larger, heavier cameras tend to give sharper pictures when hand held and are also easier to grip and use. Both my D5100 and D600 have the extra battery grip.

Totally agree.
But there is a breakeven point when other ctireria influence you photography.

Having a softer photo is better than not having one at all....due to the heavy camera being back home. Besides... if you KNOW about this effect, you can takes steps with ISO and other techniques to offset this disadvantage.

I can understand wanting to get away from the really old multi pinCF, ATA interface but not to the consumer style SD interface, much better the XQD, PCI interface cards which are replacing the CF card.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XQD_card

Mind you, they have to keep the price down somehow. [Tongue very firmly in cheek]

SD cards are the current vogue storage device. CF cards have delicate pins which are a major source of failure.
