And as someone who has a Nikon collection starting with the rangefinder, I love the whole concept of the camera. With that being said, I can understand many&#8217;s questions filling up my email box, <strong>Df<\/strong> &#8211; why?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I have to admit, I like the whole concept about having a &#8220;retro&#8221; looking and &#8220;modern&#8221; functioning DSLR. There is most definitely a romance to it that hooked me instantly. Knowing it has the same guts as my beloved <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/838794-REG\/Nikon_25482_D4_Digital_SLR_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID4\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID4\" target=\"_blank\">D4<\/a> doesn&#8217;t hurt one bit either. But answering the question &#8220;why&#8221; when it comes to the business side of photography, or the practical side of problem solving, I don&#8217;t have an answer for folks. I&#8217;m already receiving a ton of email asking for comparisons between the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1013094-REG\/Nikon_1527_Df_DSLR_Camera_with.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NIDF50B\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNIDF50B\" target=\"_blank\">Df<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/838794-REG\/Nikon_25482_D4_Digital_SLR_Camera.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NID4\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNID4\" target=\"_blank\">D4<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/1013094-REG\/Nikon_1527_Df_DSLR_Camera_with.html\/BI\/8449\/KBID\/9350\/kw\/NIDF50B\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xNIDF50B\" target=\"_blank\">D610<\/a> and I have none (and this blog post is why you&#8217;re not getting an email response). The tag line in the Df marketing though I think does answer in large part the &#8220;why&#8221; question for me personally. Putting the passion back into your photography. If you&#8217;re a regular reader of my blog, you know that&#8217;s something I talk about, a lot. And for that reason, it makes 100% sense to me. Being a romantic, having a piece of gear in hand that puts you in &#8220;the&#8221; mood can only help your photography!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To me, the Df is one sexy body!
