So does the Df fulfill Nikon's promise of 'Pure Photography'? Not quite, in our experience. No matter how well the controls have been integrated, that promise needed more than some traditional dials stuck on top of what is essentially an enthusiast-grade Nikon with the video mode disengaged.

In our review of the D600, we noted several shortcomings that had resulted from the need to keep the costs down. But the difference is that the Df costs considerably more, yet shares much of the same cost-cutting. With the Df, it was clear Nikon wasn't aiming to build the best camera it could (that's what the D4 is), but we think it might have benefited from a more committed approach to the 'classic' concept. A split prism focusing screen option and a lower price tag might have made more sense than combining the company's best low-light sensor with an autofocus system that starts to struggle as soon as you take the camera indoors.

The image quality is excellent, though. In terms of its output, whether in Raw and JPEG, you really are getting a D4 for around half price. But just looking at the camera, you quickly realize that you've got the shutter mechanism and AF of a D610 with a 50% 'retro tax' added. And while you may get the D4's high ISO image quality, you don't get its low-light autofocus or backlit controls, both of which contribute hugely to its shooting capability in poor light.

The Df is rather pretty, of course, and that D4 sensor is extremely capable. Add to this the ability to use classic lenses and it's still got considerable appeal. If you like the way it looks, have some Pre-AI lenses you want to use, or hanker for the chance to use traditional dedicated control dials, then it's a camera you should seriously look at. But, unless you take 'Pure Photography' to mean that only the pictures matter and the camera itself doesn't, the Df doesn't quite live up to its billing.

Der Satz alleine reicht mir schon:
