The "D" in the name stands for "digital", while the "f" stands for "fusion", referring to the marriage of old and new. The Df is intended for those who want to produce "pure" photography.

Built for today's multimedia photographer, the D800 has a powerful 36.3mp. The camera's extremely high image quality comes from a body that weighs less than any other Nikon full-frame digital camera, making it ideal for landscape, commercial and studio photography, but with the flexibility to appeal to enthusiastic amateurs who can justify its price tag.
