Nikon Df: 16MP full-frame retro DSLR


By Andrew Hudson Published: November 5, 2013 Updated: November 26, 2013

Step back to the 1970s with the new retro-styled Nikon Df. Reminiscent of Nikon’s classic FE of 1978, the Df features dedicated dials for ISO, shutter speed, and exposure compensation, and the 16MP full-frame CMOS sensor from Nikon’s flagship, twice-the-price D4.

“The fusion of responsive, intuitive dial operation and ‘flagship D4 image quality’ in the smallest and lightest FX-format body”
Nikon press release, Nov 5 2013

“With the same FX-format CMOS sensor, effective pixel count of 16.2-million pixels, and EXPEED 3 image-processing engine as the D4 flagship model, the Df offers stable, superior image quality under a wide variety of lighting conditions.”
Nikon press release, Nov 5 2013
