Description

From capturing fast-moving action to jaw-dropping time-lapse sequences and rich 4K videos, Nikon’s new D780 FX-format D-SLR lets your vision take flight. The long-awaited successor to the D750 has the same robust yet agile body, while packing even more heavyweight performance. Its 51-point AF system detects and tracks subjects more tenaciously, thanks to innovations including a new AF algorithm adapted from the flagship D5. It is the first Nikon D-SLR to incorporate focal-plane phase-detection AF, bringing huge enhancements in live view shooting, with wide 273-point coverage and eye-detection AF. And the possibilities don’t end there: it offers a rich array of advanced image-making options, from improved time-lapse movies to shutter speeds of 1/8000 to 900 s, and diverse movie functions including 4K UHD/30p with HDR (HLG) support. Combined with the effortless handling of a touch-operable LCD, the D780 lets you stay nimble, and seize every imaging opportunity. • Sharp acquisition thanks to advanced 51-point AF system with new AF algorithm adapted from the flagship D5, and comfortable, real-time tracking via optical viewfinder • First Nikon D-SLR to incorporate focal-plane phase-detection AF: Reliable 273-point hybrid AF system for live view and movie recording • Eye-detection AF for more engaging, candid portraits • Nikon FX-format backside illumination CMOS image sensor featuring 24.5 effective megapixels and ISO 100-51200 • Shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 900 s for capturing everything from split-second moments to gradual movements over extended periods of time • Interval-timer photography with the ability to generate time-lapse movies in-camera • Long battery life allowing up to approx. 2,260 still shots per charge • NIKKOR F lenses offering abundant creative options with superior optical quality • 4K UHD/30p with HDR (HLG) and N-Log options during 10-bit external recording via HDMI for richer, more beautiful colors, and Full HD/120p for impressive slow- motion Includes: D780 Camera Body - EN-EL15b Rechargeable Li-ion Battery - MH-25a Battery Charger - UC-E24 USB Cable - AN-DC21 Strap - BF-1B Body Cap - DK-5 Eyepiece Cap - DK-31 Rubber Eyecup.

  • Great Video Upgrade from the 750 but Tamron lenses....
Style: Body Only Set: Base
I shot with the 750 (2 of them) for 5 years and in the past 3 years have really felt the need for better video features. I was about to trade them in for z6's but then the 780 was announced and due to some lens incompatibility (I have 2 Tamron G1 lenses I really like) I decided to delay a full switch to mirrorless and go with the 780. Like the myriad of reviews say, the camera is great in photo mode, I like the rearrangement of buttons and I really like the touch screen, etc. I'm still very happy with the purchase. However, one of my primary check boxes was to keep using my Tamron glass and that is where I've run into problems. My 70-200 2.8 G1 does not play well with the LV mode . Basically, if you're in LV and the AF is engaged, the LV will shut off intermittently. It appears to be connected to the power draw required to drive the AF motor. I had it start acting up on me at a video shoot the other day. I'm still trying to confirm if this happens with the G2 version of this lens (I don't know anyone who has one). So far my Tamron 15-30 is behaving (another reported problem lens for the z6) but I haven't put it through it's paces yet. TLDR: If you have Tamron Lenses that are incompatible with the Z6, they may be also incompatible (in LV) with the 780. ... show more

  • Beast of a camera!!
Style: w/ 24-120mm Set: Base
I love this camera. I had been shooting for years with a Nikon D5300 & although it served me well & I have some awesome photos with it, I felt I wanted to step it up a bit & get a full frame camera. As I tend to do with any big purchase, I researched the hell out of the available cameras. I wanted to stick with Nikon so I could use all the lenses I have. The D750 seems liked it would fit the bill, but being an older model was hard to get & I decided to go with the latest & greatest D780, that way in 3-4-5 years I wouldn’t be wishing I had gotten it instead of the D750. So far the camera is a beast! Great, fast autofocus & incredible low light performance, which is something I like as I take a bunch of low light photos. They say that it really shines for video, but I’m an amateur photographer, not videographer so I won’t really comment on that. Overall it’s a great camera, it’s not cheap, but if you’re looking at cameras at this level I don’t think you’ll regret blowing the money on it. ... show more

  • AWESOME! Like Nikon D750 on High Dose Steroids!
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Received my Nikon D780 yesterday from Amazon. Great ergonomic grip. Lightweigt compared to my D5 and D850. I have previously owned the D750 and love the amazingly quick and accurate Auto-focus algorithm incorporated into the D780 from the high-end models! So nice to have the UHS-II speed available in two cards! Also, has User-1 and User-2 "presets" for those who like having different settings available at the twist of a dial. The dedicated Back-Button Auto focus is an additional perk for those who, like myself, prefer BBAF. The ISO button, like the D5 and D850, is now where it should be for convenience...next to the shutter release button. Speaking of ISO...the ISO Sensitivity Settings, in the PhotoShooting Menu, allows for Auto ISO Sensitivity Control. When turned ON, I choose ISO 100 with Max at 12800 (without flash) and Max at 3200 with flash, with Minimum Shutter Speed of 1/60. Works GREAT in MANUAL and Aperture Priorty with SB-910 in TTL_FP. Great upgrade over D750...HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ... show more

  • No serial number on the new camera Nikon D780.
Style: w/ 24-120mm Set: Base
Bought this camera 9 month ago. After it started giving some focusing issues, I decided to send it to Nikon for service. I am a professional photographer and depend on the quality of the photos. To send it I had to give the serial number and then my story started. There is no any serial number on the camera. None! So, the warranty is not valid as well as I am not sure this is a real Nikon camera! Seller, I would like to hear, where do I find the serial number? ... show more

  • Shipping problems with UPS
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Awesome camera. I put it to use the next day but not able to use Lightroom until Adobe performs an upgrade. My only problem is it was not shipped via Amazon but UPS. I was not home and would have to pay $5 to have it re-delivered OR I could go to the city next to me to pick it up at a UPS store. But, the D780 works better than the D750. Faster focusing, face & EYE detection making shaper photos of people. Looks like for my camera needs I will go back to using the on-line store in NY. ... show more

  • Overpriced?
Style: Body Only Set: Base
The one I received was faulty and was returned. That being said, I thought it to be well over-priced considering it is older technology.

  • Super high tech image quality
Style: Body Only Set: Base
I have a Z6 and was happy to find out that the D780 is as sensitive to low light as well as take excellent quality images. Also, the noise processing speeds for LNR is significantly faster than Z6 so I may switch to D780 for all my astro photography

  • Defective New Camera from Adorama.
Style: Body Only Set: Base
2 day delivery became 5 with multiple reschedules. Finally arrived after 10pm. Box was a little beat up, but camera appeared ok so I signed. However, it didn’t work properly. I suspect it was dropped too hard or the heat. It would work for a time, and then freeze up, had to turn on/off to get working. Lenses had to be taken off and put on again. Poor customer service from Adorama. Could NOT contact seller to explain. Amazon helped. Shipped everything back in perfect order. Still waiting for refund from Adorama. ... show more
