Nikon Df is over a decade old –so why does it still fetch over $1,000?

The Nikon Df has come full circle. Back in 2013 it launched as a newfangled retrospective on the Nikon FM and FE – two of the best film cameras of yesteryear – but with the stills imaging power of the then-flagship Nikon D4. I say stills power because, rather remarkably, the Big N decided to omit video functionality on the Nikon Df entirely.

Now, in 2024, this once cutting-edge hunk of nostalgia has quietly become a modern classic. A contemporary vintage camera, if you will. But if you want to pick one up, you'll certainly have to pay for it; It's not unusual to find used Nikon Dfs for over $1,200 / £1,200. That's body only and not all that far off the price of some used Nikon Zfs!
