While this Nikon DSLR option is no longer available for rent, here’s a link to our current selections.
Excellent image quality and low-light performance
16.2MP FX-format sensor
39-point autofocus system
Dedicated mechanical dials for multiple settings
The Nikon Df is a classically designed, professional-grade DSLR with an FX sensor. It uses the Nikon F-mount. Key features include:
Classic Design. Taking design cues from Nikon FM film cameras, the Df walks the tightrope between modern and retro. There are dedicated mechanical dials for shutter speed, ISO sensitivity, exposure compensation, exposure mode, and release mode, giving it a true classic feel to go along with its classic look. And what better way to further distinguish a classic design than to omit any video recording ability…
16.2MP FX-Format Sensor. Despite the classic look, the Df features the flagship Nikon D4’s 16.2MP full-frame sensor and image processor. This means you get the same outstanding image quality and low-light performance in a smaller body.
39-Point Multi-CAM 4800 Autofocus Sensor. The Df features the same advanced autofocus system as the Nikon D610, with 9 of its 39 AF points being cross-type. Autofocus is effective in light levels from -1 to +19 EV, and the central 7 points support f/8 focusing for teleconverter use.
Professional Build. The weather-sealed magnesium-alloy body provides a very solid feeling camera that can be used freely in adverse conditions. The large pentaprism provides the optical viewfinder with 100% coverage, while the 3.2" 921K-dot rear LCD can be used for both image review and live-view shooting (but remember, not video). The camera records images to SDHC/XC memory cards and uses the rechargeable Nikon EN-EN14 that’s rated for 1,400 shots per charge.
