Does Nikon make any decent looking DSLRs?
I own the F90x/N90x and I think it looks quite nice.
I'd rather stick to Nikon for digital because of my lenses but honestly most Nikon cameras I've seen look horrible.
Any options?
The DF looks better but no video is honestly stupid as shit and I won't pay that much for a digital camera which arbitrarily cut out video

I have a nikon f3 which is one of the prettiest cameras they have made in my opinion, got it mint condition at the register when it made a mistake. Instead of paying $500 I payed around $160. Keep in mind this was early 2000s and I was a kid.

Better than canon's.
How much you wanna spend? D7200 is the best bang for buck. Do you have non-ai lenses?

It's a good one. I personally have an Fm2. It's become the baseline for what cameras should look like to me.

Fm2 is beautiful. I heard that during the 80s there were a lot of good-looking cameras because a lot of designers got into the business of making stylish cameras.

Yeah. The F3 was actually designed by an italian car designer. Could be why it looks so sporty (I always thought the red line gave it a Ferrari feel).

No, because Nikon makes tools not fashion accessories.

I mean DSLR, not SLR
I agree, some of their SLRs are gorgeous

Well the Df was made for a niche market, so video was not even a thought. I don't think the bodies look all that bad, all I care about is that they do what they are supposed to do, and that is capture images.

But that sensor has video capabilities which were present in other cameras with the same sensor
So they purposely left jt out
It's a dumb gimmick

F100 and the digital Dx00 bodies based on it look great.
F with the non-metered prism looks great, as does the FM2.
>>
>>3098344
What are the digital bodies based on the f100?
I don't really find anything that similar

Video on the D4 is utter shit though.
Something about the scaling (which is done on-sensor), it's alright in CX mode because in that mode it doesn't have to scale. - but then you get a 2.7X crop factor which isn't acceptable either.
