I think the target market is aging hipsters & they're going to sell a
shit pot load of them ... Df cameras, not hipsters. I think it's against
the law to sell hipsters now.

Been away for a while, buried in a project. But, the Nikon Df has somehow
grabbed my attention. Probably been discussed to death here, but I can't help
wondering why? At first blush it /looks/ like a classic Nikon, but the only
thing that it's better at than say a D6xx is backwards lens compatibility, and
considering the difference in price if I were a Nikon shooter, I'd have much
preferred that they'd put that capability in a D6xx. When you look at the
details it's no more a Nikkormat or FM which it superficially resembles than an
OM-D is a classic OM-1/2/3/4.
If it were not a modern camera, it would not sell.
To my eye, it looks bloated and the bevy of dials and buttons makes it look
overly complicated. However, one set of comparison photos makes it clear that
it's much more nearly the size of the F3 than even the D610, which is in turn a
good bit trimmer than the D800 and D4. I reserve judgment until I see one in
the flesh. :-)
I don't know what "pure photography" was supposed to be, but if the sensor is
good and the controls work well, and it takes my Nikkor 50/1.2 AI-S and Nikkor-H 85/1.8
Pre-AI allowing metering, it might present some interest for me.
Not much, to be honest. I'm pretty darn happy with what I have now.
