Actually it's all  AF, both SWM and screw. I'm interested, but perhaps not 
as much as before the full specs came out.

Yes, there are some features that the Df has that are really pretty
good..... if that is what you are looking for...

The D4 sensor and apparently FW from same... which means the high ISO
performance will be good.
No movies (which I think of as good, YMMV)
Lighter than a D4, in fact, lighter than a D600
Size may or not matter.... depends.....
It IS significantly cheaper..... $2700 vs double that....
Uses AI or AIS lenses..... Not so sure there is full functionality ( not AF,
of course) of metering modes
Uses SD cards, not CF cards..... Not a big deal, but can annoy some who own
CF cards.....

But a big seller?  I'm not so sure.....

Except it has the D4 sensor in a cheaper package, which is a first, and can
meter with non AI lenses as well - no use for both of us as we have a D4
already! I think it is a good street shooters body - smaller and lighter for
a DSLR, with exceptional low light performance. I think they are taking on
Sony, actually. (-:
