So much so that a photo of this camera is my desktop image these days.

Yes, it's an interesting exercies for nostalgic people... but camera UI and ergonomics made huge steps forward since the '70s (especially thanks to the Canon Ts, and electronics). Althogh I still use my A-1 sometimes (it's so small and light, compared to actual cameras!), I would not buy a DSLR resembling it. Maybe I would like to be able to use some of my FD lenses, but I wouldn't care about the camera body look.J.R. said:Unlocking and turning one of 7 dials for every change I want to make ... I think I'll pass - not interested.

I owned a Nikon FM2 back in the 90's and kinda like the retro look of the DF, but for a working camera, I'll take my 6D any day. I'm not trying to impress anybody with the look of my photography equipment.

This camera could have hit the bullseye but; no interchangeable screens for 'real' manual focus, plastic construction ( with an alloy top plate), unnecessarily 'retro', outdated control placement, far too higher price for a plastic camera and to cap it all - your computer will make a realistic film rewinding noise when you download images !
I mean the FM, FE and even th F3 ( without motordrive ) never had power rewind !
OK so you can disable this 'function' but it says a lot about who Nikon are aiming the camera at
