Nikon Df FX-format DSLR Camera with AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Special Edition Lens, Silver - Refurbished, $1699
The Nikon Df is the first and only retro-style DSLR on the market. Its very mechanical controls offer a return to the tactile feel of photography. Nikon is essentially taking the image-quality of the top-notch D4 and fitting it - in an even improved version - in a compact full-frame body,
Offers an undeniably lovely old-school design, a plethora of customizable controls, a small and lightweight body (for a full-frame DSLR) and the same superlative image quality as the flagship D4 camera,
As expected, the Nikon Df makes gorgeous high ISO pictures. The image of the boy on his dad's shoulders was shot at ISO 12,800 equivalent, and it's amazingly good considering that very high sensitivity setting.

Image quality is the Df's strong suit - it combines an excellent sensor with a well worked-out JPEG engine, such that it can be depended on to take really strong images. Dynamic range is impressive, particularly at low ISO, while the high ISO performance is currently unsurpassed. The Df shares the flagship D4's image quality, making it one of the most adaptable cameras on the market.
Image quality from the review camera was much as expected from a mid-level Nikon camera, with the brand's characteristic look and colour rendition. Plenty of detail was captured in image files, which were relatively free of processing artefacts at most sensitivity levels.

The biggest stumbling block to purchasing this camera is going to be its price. For about the same amount, you can buy a D800. For a lot less, you could buy a D610, which, let's face it, will do pretty much the same thing with even higher resolution. You are going to have to really like the retro controls and looks to spring for the higher priced Df.

Seems to be only low light king. But i imagine that 16mpx on full frame must have its own mojo.
