Was the Nikon DF rumour more exciting than the Sony alpha7 rumour ... with one rumoured camera now so closely spaced that they are starting to overlap one with another are we going to get a purely existential camera one day

I actually have a rumored camera here.
Just went out and made a rumored picture with it.
The picture is rumored to be really fabulous.

Really.

😀 ... film or digital?

DF for me, because I have not made friends with electronic viewfinders yet. Or with digital camera ergonomics (for reasonable prices), but we're talking rumors only, right?

Can we see a little bit of the rumored picture, perhaps a corner or a heavily vignetted picture?

The Sony rumour was slightly less dull than the Nikon.

You can't view it properly unless you have a rumored computer monitor, but here it is . . .

I heard the DF will beat the A7 in camera war 2014!

That could be useful. Reviewers could give each design a Kierkegaard rating on a ten star basis. :angel:

Was this question just as pointless when it came up more or less the same way in the OTHER Nikon DF thread? Yes.

This made me smile. An excellent response.

I was/am not excited about any new camera since I got my M9. It will take me some while to fully explore this camera's capabilities, which will exceed my photography capabilities. I get excited about photography opportunities. We had a great looking sunset yesterday at the beach. I missed having with me the SWC or the Graflex XLSW with Velvia 50 and a tripod.

I think its depends on what feature you value more, ovf or mirrorless (the ability to put on all different kind lens mount).

 

[shadowfox]

Nikon DF.

The only Sony camera I'd like would be a $200 A900 (waiting patiently...)

 

[edodo]

The sony is actually like 1000 times more exiting. It's mirroless and is the future. While the nikon is just a retro style DSLR... Pretty disapointing IMHO, Nikon could have made a mirroless FF camera and it's would have been awesome.

 

[Pablito]

All of the above, I mean none of the above. Yes. Gotta love them rumors.

Just imagine a camera manufacturer, camera and a cat in a box. There is some poison and other necessary equipment in the box as well. The camera both makes and doesn´t make great test photos of the cat till you open the box. I guess the camera will be Sonikon DF7R Schroedinger.

These things come in threes. I am awaiting Fuji's response before not buying either. 😉

Nikon for sure! they've done a fantastic job on the hype train whereas the Sony FF seemed to be a known quantity for the longest time.

it's definitely one of the most fun rumors of recent memories. i've really enjoyed the casual banter around the camera 😀
