From the Manufacturer


Reignite your passion for photography with this thrilling blend of classic and modern. On the outside, it's classic Nikon—our thinnest, lightest FX-format body with an elegant mechanical operation system inspired by the legendary F, F3 and FM/FE series film cameras. On the inside, it's flagship Nikon D-SLR—the advanced 16.2-MP FX-format image sensor and EXPEED 3 processing engine from the D4, our ultra-fast 39-point AF system, an ultra-high resolution LCD display and even Wi-Fi® photo sharing (with optional adapter). Embrace a more personal shooting style that results in some of your most inspiring photos yet.

Rediscover the joy of photography.

As digital camera technology has evolved, so has the way we control our cameras. Mechanical dials have given way to buttons, menu systems and LCD displays. But what if we could blend the elegant, simplistic control and styling of classic Nikon film cameras like the F, F3 and FM/FE series with the advanced technology of Nikon's exceptional new D-SLRs? Enter the Nikon Df, a thrilling FX-format D-SLR with a unique mechanical operation system and classic styling along with Nikon's flagship digital camera technology. A perfect blend of classic and modern, the Nikon Df offers a more personal shooting style that will inspire a new relationship with your camera—one you may have known and lost over the years—and reawaken your joy for taking photos.



Beautiful photos, beautifully taken

Classic Nikon on the outside; digital Nikon on the inside

The Nikon Df is designed exclusively for taking still photos, enabling high reliability, advanced functions and elegant camera control in our thinnest, lightest FX-format D-SLR. Dedicated mechanical dials for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, exposure mode and release mode let you focus on what matters—achieving your creative vision. Capture stunningly sharp, detailed images with rich, faithful colors, even in low light. The perfectly coordinated AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition kit lens is an outstanding companion, providing the exceptional performance of NIKKOR optics and advanced Nikon lens technology. Its manual focusing ring features the knurling/hatching of classic manual lenses for precise focus adjustments.

A lifetime of great performance

Flagship image quality, versatility and reliability

Life is full of diverse (and often difficult) shooting situations. Many of the advancements in digital photography have enabled new levels of versatility—remarkable ISO sensitivity, breathtaking resolution, ultra-fast performance and more. The Nikon Df is no exception. Like our flagship D4, its 16.2MP FX-format image sensor is paired with EXPEED 3 image processing for an optimal balance of resolution, image quality and shooting speed. Its wide ISO range (100–12,800 expandable down to 50 and up to 204,800) lets you capture sharp low-light subjects with crisp edges, shadow areas that reflect proper, natural tonal gradation and highlights with rich, smooth gradation.

Breathtaking results

Powerful advanced Nikon technologies

It's no surprise passionate photographers are passionate about Nikon—our engineers have invented and perfected some of the world's most important camera features. The Nikon Df continues that legacy of excellence and innovation. It incorporates our outstanding 39-point autofocus system with 9 highly accurate cross-type sensors that work all the way down to f/8. Achieve sharp focus no matter where you subject is within the frame at up to 5.5 frames per second. Quickly adjust white balance with our Spot White Balance feature. Create photos with dazzling dynamic range with built-in HDR and Active D-Lighting. Its rugged magnesium alloy body will withstand harsh conditions, and its 3.2-inch 921K-dot LCD display provides beautiful high-definition views of your shots.

Compatibility beyond compare

Pair with current and past NIKKOR lenses, Speedlights and more

For over 80 years, NIKKOR lenses have been regarded as some of the finest optics available. In fact, photographers are still using NIKKOR lenses 30 or more years old! The Nikon Df wouldn't be a true classic camera if it couldn't work with those lenses, so we developed a mount system that works with all current AF-S, AF-D and AF NIKKOR lenses. Additionally, a metering coupling lever makes it possible to use both AI (Aperture Index) or non-AI lenses. Use i-TTL compatible Speedlights, the AR-3 threaded cable release, Nikon's new WR Remote System and even Nikon's exciting WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter for instant Wi-Fi photo sharing to your smartphone or tablet!



Instantly share your great photos

Attach the optional WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter and instantly share your beautiful photos. Connect to the Nikon Df with a compatible smartphone or tablet, then use it to browse your camera's memory card, import your favorite photos and even see what your camera sees and fire the shutter!

Se trata de una cámara full frame con controles de perilla que facilitan mucho su manejo para aquellas personas que se enfocan exclusivamente en fotografía. No saca vídeo, por lo que debe tomarse en cuenta si se requieren ambas cosas, fotografía y vídeo, este no es el equipo para ello.Es una cámara fotográfica muy recomendable

I wanted a still picture camera able to do good quality work with and endless choice of good lenses etc. It has the feel and capabilities that I want. Nikon could do some upgrades on the technology with what they have in house but this will keep me content as-is for a long time. CT

This is a really nice camera, if your looking for a digital camera which operates like one of the old Nikon film cameras, a few examples the FE2 or FM3A or an FM2N r F3This is the camera for you. it's for the serious photographer who likes a manual control camera.I use it with the old manual focus Nikon prime len's, AI and AIS len's, and it works perfectly with them, i have six of them, from 35mm up to 400mm and every one give's very pleasing results.It can also be used with Af len's as well if you prefer.It's better suited to slow moving or stationary subjects and is excellent for low light photography, i use it for Landscape and low light and portrait photography and have had some excellent results.some people say its over priced, but believe me the build quality is very good, its mainly of metal construction, unlike most modern Digital SLR's which are mainly made of plastic.Don't be put off by the low 16.2 MP sensor, the sensor is from Nikon's flagship camera the Nikon D4, that's why the Df is very good for low light photography and the quality of your pictures will be of excellent quality.16.2MP is more than enough for most peoples needs, even a Pro photographer.So this is really a camera for the serious photographer, Amateur or Pro, which would also explain the high price.

If you're considering this camera, ask yourself some questions.First: "Will I ever need to use this camera one handed?"If you can picture yourself leaning out over a canyon, bracing yourself with one hand and snapping pictures straight down with the other, this is not the camera for you."Will I ever need to change settings while my attention is elsewhere?"If you can picture yourself running with the bulls, changing f-stop and shutter speed on the fly for that perfectly motion-blurred composition, this is not the camera for you."Will I ever want to focus on something on the side of the frame?"If you like to autofocus anywhere other than the very center of the frame, this is not the camera for you."Will I ever want to take a video?"...because you can't. If you ever want to make video with your new DSLR, this is not the camera for you.Just to be clear, this camera feels and looks cheap, has incredibly counter-intuitive controls, has video capabilities pointlessly locked out, and the range of the autofocus points leaves EVERYTHING to be desired.Now, if you're still reading and thinking, 'Hm. None of those things really apply to me.' Ask yourself if you:-Like loud clicky noises when you move dials.-Have two extra hands to depress lock studs and twist dials in order to modify settings while holding the camera up to your eye.-Believe that the best composition has the focal point in the center of the frame (or always focus manually).-Have nostalgic feelings toward a camera that you used in college, or during the Nixon administration, whichever came earlier.-Distrust suspicious newfangled technologies such as video recording.Or if you don't really want to take pictures, and just want a hipster-chic camera to show off to your friends, THIS IS THE CAMERA FOR YOU!If not, check out the D810. Thanks, that's all.

A few things to know:It is made in Japan.It is beautiful.It is heavy, solidly built and you will look very snobbish photographing with it( Sorry ! making pictures with it.)The buttons give a good feel and you can feel the change.Read the manual first unless you are a duck and photography is an old pond for you.If you have moved from entry level DSLRs to this - there is a learning curve.There is no built in flash and there is no video recording button.There is button for everything ISO,Shutter speed,Exposure comp, exposure mode- rest is adjustable via the menu.-------------------Update:With some practise and good hand holding technique- the low light pictures are amazing.Many bird photos with 300mm lens and ISO 800 in low light also came out very good.I am beginning to like it more and more.Waiting for David Busch's guide for Nikon Df till then the manual is not too bad.-----------------The low light performance of the camera is stunning, all you need is a f1.8 aperture lens as 50mm 1.8 or even Tamron 90mm f2.8 and you can get brilliant colours and photos without flash in low light or just a fluoresent bubl.Bird photography with Nikon 300mm F4_ Bower 1.4 TC gives an aperture of f5.6- the autofocus works and the pictures are very good if handheld technique is good.Nikon 300mm + Nikon 1.7TC gives a field of view of 500mm equivalent and even at f8 the autofocusing works .But this combination is best during reasonable light around sunset.

To me, it's like an iPhone. You either love it, or you hate it, but either way, you are aware it is seen as overpriced. If you hate it, it's overpriced. If you love it, that premium is more worth it. Not the most advanced phone/camera, not the most customizable, but it just works well. No fuss, no frills.I really like this camera.I've been shooting Nikon since I had a Nikon EM.I've owned several of their APS-C models, most recently the 7000.I've used the 3200 and 5300 recently.I currently own a D800 and a Fujix100.Annoying things...1. Wish it had a wider spread of AF points. Not necessarily 51pt, just a wider spread. The 31 pt system was first used on a dx camera.2. Wish it had the option for a battery grip3. Wish that right sided strap lug was not in the way!4. Wish the on and off switch had a notch instead of just being a dial.5. Wish it had focus peaking in live view.6. It can't trigger CLS without sb800 or SB700/910 or third party trigger.7. Ergonomics-see below.8. Doesn't focus down to light as low as -2 EV, and no AF assist light!!! Sucks for such a great low-light sensor!!!For me, 6- 8 are the biggest issues. But none of this is a deal breaker. #8 is the worst though...It is solved with a flash though, but then see #6So how does it compare to the d800?HandlingD800 wins big time. I like how the d800 feels in my hand. I like the grip. I like the position of the shutter release button. I have no problem with the menus what so ever. I really don't need all those analog dials. I like how the d800 feels with a fast prime. I can hold the entire camera and shoot it comfortably with one hand.Holding the Df with a large prime and trying to shoot it with one hand feels off balance and awkward. YOu really have to use two hands. You need to grip the camera with the right hand a specific way to avoid that lug and you have to support a heavy prime with the left hand.I imagine the Df won't balance well with a big zoom.I hope Nikon introduces new F2 primes. I'd love to have a 35mm f2 AF-S!Auto-Focus- D800 wins again...don't have an issue with the 39 AF points vs 51 of the d800, i just wish they were spread out over the image a bit more. Not a new complaint. I do think it doesn't focus as fast in low light compared to the d800. But that's not a surprise as I think the d800 focuses down to -2EV (night) and the Df is -1. It feels a bit more hesitant in the dark, which sort of sucks because the sensor is so great for low light. Reminds of how my D7000 used to hesitate.I will say that I do not have to use AFFT on any of my lenses with Df. All my lenses have needed adjustment on my d800.Build- Tie. both are magnesium and weather sealed.Sensor- Tie. each one has their strength.Battery life- Df, but i really wish it took the D800 batteries as i have 3 already.WB- Does not lean towards green like the d800. looks better to me.ANYWAY. blah blah blah. I'm sure you can read online, i think you'll find my opinion is no different than others who have compared the two.How does it compare to my x100?apples and oranges. you can't compare an aps-c mirrorless vs a full frame...I think both cameras have their purpose. I will keep my x100 as it is so discreet. What i love about the x100 is the quiet shutter and the focus peaking. I think if i'm casually going out with friends during the day, the fuji will be my first choice. If i'm going out with a group of people or to a function and the lighting will be decent and focusing not challenging, I'll take the fuji. It's small, not pretentious, and takes very nice images.Why am i keeping it? It's really a great camera despite the negatives I've stated. after 1000 shots, it really is trouble free. As mentioned, it does what it is supposed to without any fuss or frills. Sure it's expensive, but based on absolute dollar number, it's cheaper than a leica, a d4, and some other FX cameras.I think if you are looking for a first Nikon FX camera, get the 610 and save your money for glass. You can buy , , and for a smidge more than . Or even better, buy a Nikon d600 , send it in to nikon claiming "oil spots" and hopefully they'll switch out the shutter for the 610 shutter. Only get the Df if you have Fx glass. If you don't have Fx glass, again by the d610/600.This is my family cam. This is the camera i will take with me when i go out with family and close friends. I really want nikon to make a new 35f2 GPart of me thinks that "Df" means "DSLR Finale". as this should be nikon's last DSLR as they currently make them. They need to move towards a real "fusion" camera with an OVF/EVF with focus peaking and an AF system similar to Nikon 1.*****UPDATE 12/27/2013*****Just wanted to address some of the common complaints I've heard."It doesn't have SS of 1/8000"-Honestly? who needs 1/8000? I understand if you want to shoot your 1.4 glass wide open during broad daylight, but chances are broad daylight is harsh light and the picture would look horrible because harsh shadows. the BETTER (for a non-pro without big strobes) way to shoot wide open during daylight is with an ND filter that allows you to shoot 1.4 with a SS of 1/250, or whatever your flash works at best and use a flash. Sure you can do auto-FP sync at 1/8000 for fill, but the flash is so weak at that shutter speed."AF struggles a bit compared to 51 point of the D800/e and D4."Yes it does on the outer focus points. Best results for me have been back button focusing and using the center point and recomposing.Not ideal, but gives me the best results."no autofocus assist lamp"-I always turned mine off because it's annoying for my shooting needs. If its that dark and you need the bright white AF lamp, your subjects will squint and react negatively to bright "in your face" light. When it's that dark, i use the AF assist lamp on my flash.I will say though, as much as i like the Df, using it has shown me how much camera the D800 is for the money. I'm starting to think that the Df is not expensive for what it is. I think the D800 is a bargain for what it is.*****************UPDATE 1/26/2014********************Have not used my Fujix100 or D800 in over a month.I've even thought about selling them.The Df really works for me. So far no issues at all. No lock up. no hanging, no focus issues with any of my lenses. Battery last 500+ (I've never tried to see how much i can shoot)
