I'm interested, but perhaps not as much as before the full specs came out. -----Original Message----- From: Frank Filippone Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2013 1:30 PM To: 'Leica Users Group' Subject: Re: [Leica] No Nikon Df here?! 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..... Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net 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.
