I said this thing is a D600 in a retro shell. It is as good/bad as the D600.
200 bucks extra for some dials, "retro" style seems to be fair. 1000 more is a rip off.
But again people want to buy this, fine. I am sure the profit they make go to their marketing...

someone knowledgeable about cameras should already work out what this camera is. Nikon DF, definitely fake.
either that or they couldnt care less about the $1000 price gap between this thing and the d600.

For High ISO shoot, if you view the images 1:1, of cause D4 sensor's output would be cleaner. But if normalize resolution to 8mp like DXO test, D800, D600 and D3x sensor are capable producing of better result.
D800 sensor is basically k-5 sensor but FF. Would you consider a 16 mp APS-c sensor to have too high of the pixel density.
The potential purchasers of this camera are the people fail to see through all the hype, marketing, style over substance. A D600 with less resolution selling $1000 more.

DXO seems to disagree with you.
Out of all Nikon FF sensors, D4 sensor is ranked the lowest.
I fail to see the advantage of shutter speed dial + aperture ring have over dual dial.
Sure you can adjust the setting when camera is off. What is the advantage of that? you have to turn the camera when you take a shot anyway.

why
Because it is a D600 in a "retro" shell selling for $1000 more.
And anyone with some idea about retro camera controls should know there is nothing retro about the controls of this thing.
the dials just stack on each other. Maybe their engineers should learn a thing or two how Pentax integrates the rewind crank, ev compensation and ISO into one dial.
retro 35mm cameras is about compactness clean design and simple controls.
This thing has none of that.
AF viewfinder with focus screen made for AF.
Pentax, show how it is done with the LX-D.
also the little tab on the lens mount, it just allows mount pre-ai lens without jamming. metering is still "crippled".

The gold sticker shows it is a Japanese lens. Meaning it was made by sigma....
Make sure it was made in east Germany.

GX-10(K10d copy) and Tamron 70-200mm f2.8. Not a great combination for sports because of the slow focus speed. I had to shoot at f4.5-8 to increase the DOF so I can get my subjects in focus. Not a huge issue under bright sun, not that great when the light is low, since GX-10's high iso is not great..
