Nikon Df with Nikon D850 Overview

The sensor resolution of D850 is greater than that of Df. The difference of 30 MP is quite a lot. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (Df), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Nikon D850, the maximum ISO is greater by 12800. Both cameras feature a 3-inch tilting screen.
Both cameras have a optical (pentaprism) viewfinder. All viewfinders has no electronic viewfinderk dot resolution.
