Originally posted by SteveM I'm find the Df to be extremely comfortable in my hands, but then again I come from the film era. The Df is not a small camera, but it is much more in line with what we are used to holding with the K line from Pentax. The video review insinuated that the camera is based on the D600, but he states the D600 is a better ergonomically? I certainly do not find that to be the case.
I find myself using the Df for indoor / low light shots and the K3 for everything else. For low light, the jump between the Df and K5/3 reminds me of the jump between the K7 and K5.
Anyways, back to the video review, does this mean I have to buy a pipe, style my hair in a pompadour and start wearing an ascot?
I shoot a lot of film and agree, if you think of it like a film camera just on a larger heavier scale then yes, it should feel great! I love shooting with my LX and MX, they are my two favorite cameras I've ever owned. They are also half the size and weight as the Df.
That said, the DF is only 280 grams or so lighter than the D800, which isn't huge weight savings...but then again it is full frame. If you wanted to save weight in FF you get a Alpha. :P
and yes, you need a pipe, drink pabst blue ribbon, and drive a rockabilly wreck.
