Megapixels:: A megapixel is one million pixels. It is commonly used to describe the resolution of digital cameras. For example, a 7.2 megapixel camera is capable of capturing roughly 7,200,000 pixels. The higher the megapixel number, the more detail the camera can capture. Therefore, the megapixel count is a significant specification to look for when buying a digital camera.

Bye Bye 2 d700S Hello 2 Nikon Df's

Reviewed on Tuesday, June 10, 2014

Rated 5.0 out of 5 stars.

Switched from Nikon D700 to Nikon DF 2 months back and just purchased a 2nd body DF. The sensor in low light surpasses any Nikon I have shot to date. I am a concert tour photographer and can say even at ISO exceeding 16000 picture is clear and no noise. Sharpness is amazing, colors stunning. Drawback is 5.5 fps which you still need the D3 or D4 for 8-10 fps for sports (professional) a few design flaws, lugs for neck strap (I don't use one) is in a strange spot and the body is small so with a LARGE 300 lens, hook your black rapid to the lens NOT the body. Exposure compensation dial is on the left and requires you to push a stick button and turn the dial. The stick is thin so for me it is fine. People with large fingers may find this uncomfortable as also the dial for changing F/stop is small and on the front of the camera right side and I have no issues but others say it is tough to find with large fingers. AF is different on this camera. I like it better the the previous D700's. Thanks to Unique Photo for outstanding service as always and Photography By Piernot endorses them. DF rates 9 out of 10 in my opinion for what I do.
