Outdated Product
Although this camera belongs to fairly advanced models in general (for example, its “hardware” is almost identical to the D4, the flagship of early 2012), its main feature is still the design: it copies the appearance of Nikon film cameras, including a number of mechanical control dials. The matrix of the device has a full frame format and a resolution of 16.2 megapixels, and its standard sensitivity can reach ISO 12,800. The EXPEED 3 processor provides burst shooting at 5.5 fps, but there is no video recording function. It is also worth noting the dust and moisture-proof magnesium alloy case, 3.2" tempered glass display, support for WU-1b Wi-Fi modules and a lens in the kit.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Nikon Df kit 50 is a digital SLR camera that stands out for its classic design and build quality, proudly marked "Made in Japan." It features a full-frame CMOS sensor with an effective 16.2 MP, offering excellent color reproduction and high ISO performance up to 12800, making it ideal for challenging lighting conditions. Users appreciate its compact and lightweight design at 700 grams, although some find the grip and ergonomics less comfortable compared to modern designs. The camera lacks video capabilities, which some users see as a positive, focusing solely on photography. The optical viewfinder is praised for its clarity, and the camera's functionality is described as convenient, with mechanical control dials for settings like shutter speed and ISO. However, the absence of a second memory card slot and the stiff aperture adjustment wheel are noted drawbacks. Overall, the Nikon Df is considered an excellent choice for thoughtful, deliberate photography, especially for those who appreciate a retro aesthetic and high-quality imaging.

It has no analogues in its style and price category. Ideal as a second device, but for those for whom photography is not a way to earn money, it can easily be used as the only one.
Design. Great matrix. Really working ISO 12800. Very compact and convenient with small fixes. Convenient functionality. Not a bad filling. The price, in my opinion, is very reasonable and the camera can be considered not only as an accessory to an expensive suit and Swiss watch.
Due to the small weight (about 700 g), heavy lenses start to "droop" and also look somewhat awkward. The grip is uncomfortable. There is no option to shoot video.

There is a small "but"...

If you can imagine a true digital mirror SLR camera, then it's definitely the Nikon Df (in any version). The classic design and build quality are simply unmatched. The inscription "Made in Japan" proudly adorns the nameplate. As of the end of 2016, it ranks in the Top 5 (according to DxO) of the world's most low-noise and light-sensitive cameras. Yes, those "fat" pixels get the job done.
A decent dynamic range up to ISO 1600, no gimmicks like video and GPS (I approve).
The kit lens is one of the best (among kit lenses) - I can responsibly say as someone who has tried a lot of different optics.
I see no point in writing about parameters and numbers. In this camera EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE, and those with eyes will see.
I'll say it right away - I'm very demanding when it comes to equipment, and most photographers wouldn't even notice the shortcomings I've described.

So, the main flaw is ergonomics. The aperture adjustment wheel is stiff and located in an inconvenient place, you can't turn it with one finger.

In my unit, the exposure compensation wheel has glitches with the lock (at certain settings, it turns without pressing the lock button) - it very much seems like a manufacturing defect... It's frustrating.

In low light, focusing is off by a couple of centimeters.

This camera is not a champion in energy saving - the battery lasts for 1000-1500 shots, so try not to overuse the LiveView mode.

There's no slot for a second memory card.

The auto white balance is not perfect - use a "gray card".
