This limited edition Nikon Df will be available in a total of 1600 units worldwide. 600 units body only and 1000 units kit paired with a gold-ringed AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G. In all other aspects aside from the color, this Nikon Df remains exactly the same lightweight FX-format camera as the original. The gold parts include the Nikon logo, strap attachment, portion of the eyelet, shutter button, lock release button, lens release button, and the bottom of the battery compartment knob. This affords the camera a premium look without being overbearing or too flamboyant. They say beauty is only skin deep, and that is pretty much the case here. This limited edition Nikon Df changes nothing from the original version.
As digital camera technology has evolved, so has the way we control our cameras. Mechanical dials have given way to buttons, menu systems and LCD displays. But what if we could blend the elegant, simplistic control and styling of classic Nikon film cameras like the F, F3 and FM/FE series with the advanced technology of Nikon's exceptional new D-SLRs? Enter the Nikon Df, a thrilling FX-format D-SLR with a unique mechanical operation system and classic styling along with Nikon's flagship digital camera technology. A perfect blend of classic and modern, the Nikon Df offers a more personal shooting style that will inspire a new relationship with your camera—one you may have known and lost over the years—and reawaken your joy for taking photos.
