[QUOTE="SkvLTD, post: 589771, member: 12855"] My 2 cents - its a VERY niche camera and besides D4+ sensor that does render noticeably different to at least 600 from what I notice, and recycling EL14's while getting pro level life out of them indeed, the ONLY reason to get a Df is purely aesthetic. There has never been a digital like it, and from the smell of it there won't be anytime soon if ever (and lord Fuji toys don't count). Backup/pure bang-for-buck function-wise, I'd honestly get another 750 or even a 500 to have that wildlife AND night time edge. Nor does the Df bring that pure fun and unadulterated enjoyment that Fuji X-Pro series does - it still feels like a Nikon, and a pro level at that, so once you're familiar with anything FX it will forever feel like an FX camera. My personal vice is appreciation of the gear's aesthetics perhaps more than the purpose of it in the first place, and thus flaunting it to help self-marketing in social/pro situations. I know majority couldn't care less about these things, nor do they own nor lust after the camera to go with their 45/2.8 AI-P. [/QUOTE]
