Gold-trimmed Nikon DF - good, bad, ugly?

I wouldn't buy a retro-looking DSLR like this, Nikon or otherwise, but I don't mind the trim on this; I think they've pulled off less is more.

My vote goes to "pointless." I understand the interest in buying/collecting retro cameras. I don't understand the interest in buying modern cameras disguised as retro... I don't think most who collect retro cameras do so primarily because of the way they look. And even if they did, a genuine retro would likely appeal more than this.

Retro-looking DSLR certainly makes one look cool.


If I used a retro-looking DSLR, drove a (BMW) Mini or (VW new) Beetle and... who knows, used suspenders/bracers instead of a belt, drank coke in a glass bottle instead of a can... wow! Countless girls would certainly harass me! 8)
