Plainly, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The Df with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallow depth of field simpler and the Nikon Df will result in extra detail using its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The fresher Df is going to have an edge in sensor technology.
