The Nikon Df doesn’t do video, but still costs US$1,000 used because it’s a beautifully awkward photography gem

Nikon Df.

I’ve never shied away from showing my appreciation for the Nikon Df, one of the Big N’s quirkiest and most sought-after DSLR cameras. Long before the Nikon Zf and Nikon Zfc graced the imaging landscape, way back in 2013 when Miley’s Wrecking Ball was demolishing the billboard charts, Nikon released a departure from the utilitarian DSLR norm.

Dubbed the Nikon Df for "Digital Fusion", this attractive-looking DSLR was designed to bridge the gap between the aesthetically pleasing SLR film cameras of yore with the cutting-edge specs of a then-modern digital camera.
