[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 635713, member: 43924"] Not taking offense here, Jip, so please don't worry. However, your underlying belief could not be farther from mine: to me, looking at specs is vital to determine whether I am even remotely interested in a body. The Df lacks aspects I find crucial for my photography, so that was an easy conclusion for me - looking at its specs was ALL I needed. When posting spec info about that body, I aim to help others in their decisions - nothing less, nothing more. If they don't care about aspects that matter to me, great! But why get defensive? As far as the 'not having touched it' argument goes, I am struggling to get the point. I have owned around 10 different Nikons so far, so looking at a pic of a new one tells me pretty much what I need in terms of handling. Using it for any length of time is very unlikely to change my take on the DF. Lastly, I am glad you are happy with the image quality, but in my experience, IQ has so much more to do with what is IN FRONT OF and what is BEHIND the body - you can get great shots with almost any of them. If large prints were a criterion for me, I would wait for a D850 or buy a used 810. Both outclass the Df in that department. [/QUOTE]
