Oh yeah, on that point I agree entirely. I don’t know about this guy’s writing style in general, maybe he’s always sarcastic like that, but it really is a kind of sneering tone he has, and that’s enough to put me off too.
Looking at the DxOMark comparison between the two of them, the D610 and Df are pretty close, numbers-wise. The D610 comes out ahead in dynamic range and colour depth, the Df in low light performance. So folks are definitely paying a $1000 premium to get the extra twisty dials. Which some people would gladly pay for, along with the (admittedly kinda cool) retro styling. Not me (hell, I can’t even muster up the cash to get a D610, nevermind a Df), but if money was no object I might consider getting one of these, just for the fun of it.
