Nikon Df - the new King of High ISO performance ?

[tomcat]

those sample photos are just awesomely insane
especially first 4 pic from top
OK DF ... come to papa

That was what caught my attention immediately.
That shot with the 85mm f/1.8G was so good that it inspired me to quickly take out my 85mm to shoot with it on the Df.
Alas, I needed a much better model than my cats to do justice to this setup. :embrass:

No time, bad weather, and what's more, I'm not into street photography.

The Df doesn't need good weather, that's the beauty.

Agreed. Taking a snapshot at night is pretty easy.

True! I am hearting my DF really! Paired it with a Sigma 35/1.4 lens and the photos are all damn sharp! Never had that sort of results using the same lens on my 5D2. I seriously ain't missing my 5D2 man! :thumbsup:

What to do? :dunno: For people like me who are either too busy or lazy to go out to shoot scenery and don't have beautiful wife and baby to act as models and cannot afford to hire models to shoot, cats are the next best and readily available subject to test out cameras with. :embrass: It's good practice for a second career if I ever needed one, as a pet photographer too.

DPReview really needs to replace their test scene with a cat!
