[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 635548, member: 43924"] Hi Jip, No contest as far as that statement goes: for the images you took, you did not need any other features. What really kills this body for me is the dated AF, because that means I will lose shots I could get with Nikon's more advanced, but not necessarily more expensive bodies (action, street, wildlife, etc.). You do not seem to be doing much in those departments, plus you seem to like the rather peculiar ways in which the Df operates, so you should definitely enjoy this body. Not questioning that at all. There are a lot of cheaper options out there than the Df where your statement would be equally true, though. Hence my 'less for more' statement, by which I stand. I'll admit that I am not as thrilled by the looks as some people are, and that is a matter of taste so it should not be argued. To me, the Df is the same kind of fashion statement that an iPhone 7 is: if you're thrilled to have it, then enjoy it and ignore the fact that there is better performing gear out there that costs less. Not everyone feels that way, though, and my previous post aimed to fill those folks in on some of the Df's absent features. [/QUOTE]
