The rumored Nikon DF camera with its retro outside and full frame 35mm guts is finally starting to leak. Nikon Rumors posted a few images just minutes ago and then their website went down (possibly due to traffic?). We will be updating this post with camera info as it is received but at this point we only have pictures. The full release of this camera is due tonight or tomorrow. I'm still not completely sold on this camera but I've spoken to someone who has used it and he assured it me it wasn't just "trendy." I'm excited to bring it to our workshop next year because I feel like it may be the ultimate travel camera.
This thing looks awesome!!
Oh my! What lovely cameras!
That silver one is sexy as shitttttt.
It looks great but whats inside it that counts. If its a D700 in that I'm in!
or D800 :)
I thought I read somewhere it had D4 guts but I'm not sure if that's true.
they don't want to make a mistake of D700 (stopping sales of D3) so this has 1/4000 and 5.5fps only, and no little flash, and Af system from D600
That would be amazing.
D4 sensor, mostly D600/610 guts otherwise.
Hipster gonna hate! ;)
I really hope this has a good price point...because I'm totally sold right now
hate to break it to you bud but it's priced at $2750
If this is real, it's really cool. I have said a few times that Pentax should take the old K1000 and make it a D1000; all manual, but digital.
Just when I was contemplating moving to Sony. Please let this be awesome.
I know, so was I. Well, Fuji actually, x100s.
This timing couldn't be better. Even if it's < side of awesome, I'm buying it, to hell with the price point too.
front and top look cool, rear looks cheap crap taken of any current dslr in the nikon line up. and does it really need two info buttons? one saying info the other with a "i"
That is rather puzzling. Maybe it's meant for something else?
Chances are the buttons are programmable, so you can make them whatever you want.
Wow, looks amazing. Hope it has full HD video recording and I think I'd be cheeky by asking for a dual sensor like the auto focus on Canon's 70D?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Exactly.
From the looks of it, they will be taking aloooot of money (maybe mine included)
if i had a few grand to spare i'd get one.... as long as the guts are good. it sure looks great!
If I had ovaries, I'd be ovulating right now.
I am sold, IF, Nikon is smart on the price point
It looks amazing!
No front (index-finger) wheel? That would be a bummer
No front wheel because you select your shutter speed on top the camera with the wheel just like old school cameras. I assume the thumb wheel is for f/stop.
which makes it a bit less user-friendly when used to the current interface. If the front ring (vertical wheel) is infact the same as the old index wheel, that might work, but still be somewhat less easy
i guess you use the silver ring which my guess is that it is the aperture wheel
It's on the front next to it's name. However, that's not how you're supposed to use this camera.
Wow! I'm a Canon guy, but this is extremely appealing!!! Reminds me of my early teen self with photography/camera magazines being psuedo-pornographic in nature at the time....love the dials and sharp corned edges on the prism enclosure.....WOW!......
is there a grip with extra grip? How are you supposed to handhold 70-200 F/2.8 II on this thing without a grip? Or is it just for small primes?
I'm curious as well if it'll come with battery grip, guess we'll have to wait for the official announcement
I do not need extra grip on my F2's
You use one hand to shoot with telephotos?
Also - are the releasing a new 50mm for this? Never seen that one before.
Some say it's just the 1.8g restyled
It's lame. Standard G lens with a silver ring and Ai focusing rubber ring. Pass.
i hope it's an f-mount
No a Canon EF mount... -_- what a question XD
If it doesn't have HD Video, OK, but if it did that's OK, too. But why put a HDMI connection on it, if it isn't going to have video?
To view photos on HD TV's? But I pray it has HD video as I'm a cinematographer too and a lighter full frame body would be awesome. But also want better auto focusing!
It doesn't have video
is that definite? :(

You might want to look at the A7 or A7r then
I will definitely buy in when this camera has it's first round of rebates. I am in love right now.
IM WITH YOU MIKEN, I JUST BOUGHT A 7100 A MONTH AGO AND I LOVE IT. BUT BEING A GUY FROM THE FILM DAYS.....I AM SALIVATING..GUESS I COULD MAKE THE 7100 MY BACK UP CAMERA....
That silver one IS damn sexy.
