Who would use a Nikon df?

I am just curious who the Nikon df is marketed to? What does it do that makes it unique or different from other cameras?

Does it just shoot in manual mode?
Nearly all dslr's can shoot in manual mode, though.
Pardon my ignorance.

Try using the search function at the top of the page for text = df. Use the advanced search and limit your results to the main photography discussion. There was a lot of discussion of this model when first released.

Me. I own two of them and absolutely love shooting them! They are a "photographers camera". No video, no flash, no AUTO mode. Just pure, high quality camera features and wonderful image quality!

This is not a camera for every one, not for a Pro. neither! It will slow you down, let you think before you trip the shutter! I agree the other camera has what this one has, but this one doesn't have what the others have is what make it special! No video, (it's a pure camera for photography), No built flash,(In most conditions it doesn't need flash, because of it's high ISO ability, beside, built flash is a nightmare for flash photography), No scene mode, (You don't need the camera selecting the setting for you, if you know what you are doing, same as auto mode)
All the controls are knobs and dials on the out side of the camera, and very easy to get to if you know all their functions, not like the others, you need to push a button and turn the commend dial to change setting, or even need to go into the manual!
One more thing I have to mention, the sound of the shutter is so light and sweet as music. The battery life is amazing long, Shoot over 1000 shot with one single charge!

Sounds exactly like what a pro who has other cameras that shoot video would need. It's sort of a retro camera from those who used to shoot all manual cameras from the film days. If I were a Nikon shooter I would love one

I would use it for its low light characteristics if I had one but I wouldn't spend the money for it considering what is available.

What he said! :thumbup:
The Df is marketed to people that grew up shooting film SLR's and those that don't want to get back to the basics of photography.

I have a D7000 and a D7100, I was not in the market for another camera. Having said that, I got tired of hearing all the negative statements from people who never shot with one, made a trip to the camera store and got one in my hands. Next thing I knew, they had my card and I had their camera with the promise that I could bring it back within 10 days if I didn't like it.
An afternoon of shooting, and an evening looking at the pictures made it my favorite camera. That was in July and I never leave home without it. It will shoot auto, it has program mode. An awesome street camera, with awesome low light abilities. That camera and the D7100 gives me the best of both worlds.

I have a Df and love it.
It has the same sensor as the D4 and no pop-up flash, no video, only PSAM and it's lighter than cameras that have all that superfluous garbage.
It's a joy to use.

I love my silver Df. It is the camera that I carry everyday, attached to a 35 mm lens. I grew up shooting manual with a Nikon F2, and when the Df came out, I wanted one. No regrets. It is a beautiful machine that performs in every way. (Although I would like two card slots.)
