Darren, in its current lineup Nikon offers the following full frame
cameras listed in order of increasing price according to Adorama:
D600, D610, D800, D800e, Df, D3x, and D4
Additionally you could buy D600, D3 and D3x refurbished.
It appears to me that Nikon has the most complete line of full frame
cameras on the market ranging from more affordable hobbyist ones to a
hard core professional.
It appears to me further that your comparison with K-3 is absolutely
illogical. In fact, I would be very much interested to learn why you had
to bring K-3 into this thread.

It sure doesn't match the K-3 in hardly any category other than being
a full frame sensor. FPS is 3/sec slower than the K-3. Only has
1/4000th of a second top shutter speed. Doesn't have switchable AA
filter. Doesn't have 2 card slots. AF sensitivity only goes to -1 EV.
I don't see ANY mention of video (or did I miss it). It seems like
THIS is the main reason they are marketing it the way they are. Takes
some nerve (and marketing) to put out an expensive DSLR that doesn't
even have the ability to do ANY video. (Frankly, video in a DSLR is
not terribly important to me, but if I were buying a camera I guess
I'd rather have a camera with the CAPABILITY than one that didn't give
me the CHOICE to NOT use it.

Am I the only one thinking the Df is way too complicated for being the
camera it pretends to be?

I'm sure you saw the accidentally leaked price on Amazon for the DF
($2746). I saw the D800 on Overstock.com the other day for $2200.

It's nice, if it had a K mount or if I was much richer I'd buy one :)

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this here yet:

In my opinion, that is a pretty sweet looking camera, especially in
silver. Maybe the rumors of an LX-style Pentax camera aren't too far
off?
