Nikon Df - A Fireside Chat

- Wanted to talk a moment about the Df. Not so much the specs, but more the camera. Its looks are deceiving and being labeled Retro misleading. Check 'er out.
7 years later and I have just bought a new one. Just wanted to connect with my camera. My D850 does the heavy lifting but all i do is point and press a button. Df is thought provoking.
Excellent fireside chat.
Finally a real camera that's digital. Most missed the point at the time. This very much continues the F lineage.
2 pointers to make it feel more like a film camera
1. Set to aperture ring in menu and only use D lenses or before.
2. Set to quiet mode (slow your photography down) and listen to that shutter sound.
Great review! I like your point about how a camera can make you passionate about photography (again). I loved my F3 for twenty years (Ftn before that), reluctantly went digital with the D90 which I started to like more and more, and I got my Df around December 2013. It felt like the right kind of full framer to me, it let me use my older Nikon glass, and it takes fantastic pictures that I wasn't able to take before. The Df made me passionate about photography again and I have been taking photo classes since, including your "Walk in Central Park."
Great review! I love my Df and your tips were very useful!
I have enjoyed learning this camera thus far, esp coming from an D300, which was hard to give up, and I still keep it as a back up.
Thanks Moose for your insights and feelings about the DF. I have mine and I agree with you about "passion". This is a camera about feeling. I find myself wanting to take photos with it and it has improved my photography just because I am treating the DF as I would with an F3 film camera. The results are better than ever. Hope you will keep on sharing your thoughts about cameras and photography.
Great review sir, now do you usually use custom & shooting menu banks for quick access to different scenes? would you mind share some experience or maybe tips thanks
I don't, never saw a need since my settings don't change for different genres.
I totally agree with your review. I love my Df.
It nice to hear what it can do instead of what it cannot do and all the bashing so many are doing. Having the D4 sensor with even a little better ISO performance than the D4, speaks volumes to me on the new oppertunity this camera would bring to real world shooting coming from a D300s.

Regarding the D4 sensor, are the benefits of this sensor only in it's low light abilities, or will I notice an improvement in regular daylight images also? (by improvement I mean an improvement over other fx sensors such as those found in D610, D700, D750 etc.)
good question but sorry, at this point, I simply don't remember the answers to those tech questions. In August, 2020, it's now "old" gear my mind simply doesn't store that info anymore.
Nice review Moose mmm'kay!
I still want one of these.
I'd set my function button to "SHOOT" menu. I put my most used iso values on each shoot menu. 200, 800, 3200, 6400.
With a aperture ring on my lens, I could use the camera one handed.
Great review, I totally agree with tour points. It’s as enjoyable to use as the Leica M8 I had, without resorting to only MF. Adding an AI/AIS lens makes it a game changer.
Hi. How is Df's color as compare to M8?
@@yew108 not similar at all, I’d say the colours are more muted than what you would see out of todays Z cameras or even the d750, d810, d780, d850 etc. it would look similar to the Nikon D4 colours. M8 colours are much more vibrant but not overly so.
@@Jayysam95 Hi. Thank you very much for your reply ! What you have said is very much the same as what I have viewed in the internet , that Z cameras have more vivid colours. Seems like if I want vibrant colour, I shall go the way of vintage CCD cameras or those Foveon sensors . Regards.
Also you're right about being noticed using the pro body omg I'm sitting in my car shooting and people are like omg what is he doing 😭 but my cellphone is 12mp too and just as good in day light no one bats an eye smh.
For that extra half inch, couldn't you just go with another FF body (D800 or whatever, I'm not a Nikon shooter) that doesn't have a built in grip? That's an easy 1"+ getting rid of that grip and wouldn't think it would be much difference (bottom of the camera to lens center wise) than this one.
The only thing I dont like about your videos is that you make too few of them :-)
Keep the good work sir!!
this one nearly melted me! I won't work in front of a fire again. Thanks!
***** oh, it was, on the other side of the room :-)
@@MoosePeterson That makes it a very efficient fireplace then. But mooses are cold weather animals aren't they 😂?
Shame the Nikon Df has no focusing aids (Split RF \ Microprism) and that the focusing screen is not interchangeable. What were they thinking?
price point and selling them I would imagine
***** The screen is interchangeable. www.focusingscreen.com/ . Many people have bought the DF and switched out the screens for a split screen. It only takes about 10 minutes and you can do it yourself. RUclips has videos showing how easy it is.
Daniel Batts An aftermarket screen, probably affects metering capabilities.
what? you spend 10 minutes chatting about this camera and don't even show us a single image taken with it?
