Nikon D780

Great camera I've been shooting with a couple of D7000s for 10+ years. Stepping up to the D780 has been so much fun. It's loaded with features which are useful in Auto or Manual modes. Plus the upgrade from cropped frame to full frame and almost doubling the pixels, it has been a huge jump in my work.

Nice, easy and great results. Previously used Nikon F3 for ten plus years. The D780 is much lighter, quieter and produces a beautiful image. Creates nice at high iso settings with no flash. I was able to create a setup to use a remote to fire both the camera and external strobes. D780 has a video settings which is new for me but am looking forward to utilizing it.

D780 was a game changer for me I bought the D780 to use in addition to my D810. I'm VERY pleased. Live view with continuous on sensor phase detect autofocus and eye detect is a game changer for portrait photography. The silent shutter is amazing for creating time lapse movies without wearing out the mechanical shutter. Focus peaking works great for my manual focus lens collection. 4k oversampled video quality is outstanding and if you are willing to give up the oversampling the digital image stabilization makes a big difference in hand held video smoothness on lenses without image stabilization. Because I use a D810 I was concerned that I wouldn't be happy with pixel acuity on the D780 due to the antialiasing filter on the sensor. Turns out the filter only works in one direction and is pretty weak, so pixel level sharpness is outstanding. Low light performance of the sensor is excellent. Smaller and lighter than my D810. I can't say enough good things about it.Read full review
