Nikon Df

[etrigan63]

Well my Df has arrived and I didn't have to wait to charge the battery! (I had bought spares beforehand and had them all charged up ) I carefully mounted my trusty 50mm f/1.8 and took a few test snaps of my willing subject (the youngest cat as my children and the other three cats have figured out my shenanigans). Color me impressed!

ISO 1400 Compressed 14-bit NEF, No NR, LR 5.5 Std Sharpening, Huelight Std profile.
[As per the Shadow Proclamation of GetDPI, no photographer truly owns his/her camera until they submit a cat photo. And a shrubbery! Ni!]

What if we don't own any cats? Will Polar Bears do?

If you do not have a cat, you must hew down the mightiest tree in the forest wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiith a herring! And then photograph it! And make sure it not too backlit.

Ni!

Hello, I'm considering to buy the Df. Anyone bought the silver version? Is the silver coating on the plastic surface easily worn out? Thank you.

IIRC the body is made of magnesium which is why it is so light.

Yes, I think the body is made from some kind of magnesium alloy but it does feel like plastic.

If only this damn camera was 1/8000 of a sec ... Can't wait the d750 to compare.
