Nikon D780 DSLR Camera Body summary

The full-frame Nikon D780 DSLR camera body has been released around five years after its' predecessor. This is a significant release for Nikon, with a highly capable 24.5MP body for the enthusiast market sporting a host of upgrades over the previous model. 

Highlights of the new D780 include a dedicated hybrid AF system for live view shooting with an exceptionally fast 51-point phase detect system. This has been incorporated from the acclaimed mirrorless Z6 system, with eye detection and accurate focusing down to -6EV. 

The new D780 is also quicker, with up to 7fps through the optical viewfinder and 12fps in live view, ideal for capturing the perfect shot whatever speed your subject is moving at. 

Filmmakers have been well considered with 4K UHD capabilities at up to 30p in full-frame with no cropping. An external movie recorder can now capture HLG HDR footage and an articulated TFT LCD tilting touchscreen assists with easier composing.

Nikon D780 DSLR Camera Body specifications

Nikon have consistently surprised us in the past with new camera bodies surpassing expectations. The D780 achieves the same with high quality 24.5MP stills provided by the CMOS sensor capable of capturing superbly detailed images which are processed by the Expeed 6 image processor. 

Flagship tracking performance is provided through the viewfinder, which also enables quick switching between the advanced AF modes. The blazingly quick shutter speed of 1/8000 also gives speed light users the ability to sync with Nikon flashguns capturing motion travelling at virtually any speed. 

New modes allow in-camera time lapse with 2MP stills at a blazing 120 fps with an in-camera digitising menu for creative captures. The camera's high-speed data-transfer capabilities and wireless connectivity make it easy to share images. SnapBridge lets users share JPEGs and RAW files with any smart device for quick editing and posting. 

Robert Harmon, Senior Commercial Planning Manager, Nikon UK, says: “Many photographers love DSLR, and they've been waiting for a model like the D780. If you're a DSLR lover, and you want to shoot movies as well as stills, this is the perfect solution. If you want to explore mirrorless, we have the Z system for that too! Whichever system excites image makers, we're thrilled to offer the versatility that lets them create without limits."
