I've been rethinking this - if I could afford it I think I'd get one, but I'm spending on lighting and computer upgrades for the next year or so.

But...... It's basically a D4 with the weight and size of a D7000. The more I think about it the more attractive that becomes.


OK I'll play devils advocate here!

1. Are you going to want video ? No well that is fine, neither would that worry me.
2. As you have the D3S then you are covered on FX do you only want FX or do you want DX for greater telephoto reach?
3. Are you at all daunted by the cost ? The D600/610 will be had for just half the price of a Df. OK we both like its retro looks but I think the price is too high but it will fall in 6 months.
4. You have no legacy glass - I think I remember you saying this. A D400 or even D5300 may suit better. The D400 is still vapourware but the D5300 has some really interesting features and at 24MP is probably at the top end of the sweet spot of MP.
