Walk Slowly After several hours in the valley, the wind and mountain air wash away my day-to-day concerns. I breathe deep as I climb the trail. Free from haste and competition at last, each step I take and each frame I shoot draw me closer to my true creative self. That’s when I see this woman, hair whipped by the wind, standing there as if she had been waiting for me to arrive. Through observation and measured contemplation, I interpret the scene and camera settings on my own.

Creative Potential at Every Turn: Distill your vision with intuitive controls Tactile precision mechanics: one-of-a-kind images, all under your direct control The large mechanical dials that dominate the top of the Df are where photographers will rediscover the pleasure of camera operations and the photographic process.
Creativity on a New Scale: A fusion of sumptuous image quality and lightweight mobility Authentic Nikon SLR design: the most portable of the FX-format D-SLRs On the outside, the Df has all the attributes of tradition and authenticity. For some, the camera body’s smaller size and sharper angles may evoke the era of earlier Nikon film SLRs especially when paired with the newly designed AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G (Special Edition) and its matching aesthetic.
Performance with Creative Purpose: Engin eered to draw out your photographic instincts The power to capture The Df’s innovative fundamentals are designed to keep photographers inspired. Its Multi-CAM 4800 autofocus sensor module has 39 tightly packed, strategically placed focus points that work together like a net to track your subject and lock it into sharp focus. The nine cross-type sensors in the center provide further accuracy, even when your subject has little light or contrast to focus on.
