Is the Nikon D780 Any Good?

Today we look at a Nikon D780, successor to the Nikon D750 and little sister to the Nikon D850. But why would you buy a DSLR in 2022? Why not just get a Nikon Z camera? In this video we discuss.
Thanks to B&H for the loaner! We wouldn't have been able to take a look at this camera without their support. This is not a paid promotion or ad and we need to return the camera.

Hey Omar, I'm a wedding photographer from the Philippines, I noticed that you have a bunch of cameras, you have different brands and models, it seems like it's too much for your photography works, can I have that D780 for a Christmas gift?🥹, I've been wishing to have that model on my own but it's too expensive since I don't have enough budget for that beast camera. I've been shooting for a couple of year with my defective entry level Nikon D5600. Hopefully you will notice me🙏, thank you in advance.❤️❤️

[@crs523crs]

I love my D780! I used a Z6 for over 2 years and had a great experience, but the lenses were too expensive and using my F mount lenses was clunky. I find that OVF is a purer shooting experience but the D780 had a lot of the features I used with Z6. Great review!

[@IVMTAB]

I’m noticing a LOT of KZbinrs are talking about the Z6 II and the under-the-radar D780 and I feel like they’re kind of late to the party… the ergonomics of that D780 is a joy and second to none

[@koolkutz7]

I love the Nikon DSLR ergonomics!

[@imaginimage6207]

Love my 780

[@netkas89]

[@cronufc]

Have to say, my d750 had a better grip. The d780 didn't hang as nice on the fingers as the d750 when holding it down by your side, it would slip and you'd have to arch your fingers a little whereas the d750 the grip was a little deeper, better angled and the weight was better distributed so you could hang the camera by your side with one or two fingers

[@jnd2415]

That’s because KZbinrs are getting kickback to promote mirrorless to consumers that are easily influenced to think DSLRs are dead.

[@warlordpriest1]

Best description of the D780 I’ve seen anywhere. I’m finally grasping the uniqueness of this camera thanks to you!

[@tonytfuntek3262]

I totally agree... I own both a Nikon D series mainly because I love the OVF and all the tactile controls... but it's awful for video. So I picked up a Z5 when they were including the FTZ adapter as my lighter walk around camera. I do like the histogram the EVF offers but the OVF still rules when it comes to viewing the real world. Thank you for your videos.

[@CreativePixelPhotos]

Had my d780 for a year. Shot 34 weddings and other stuff. It IS a fantastic camera!!

[@matthewwells1606]

Advantage of the D780 is the live view component, the AF mode button, and access to legacy Nikon lenses. Such a great camera. ETA: all the points you make are great, however, and it's hard to make a D780 make financial sense unless you have a shelf full of F-mount lenses.

[@ArsenijeRadenovic]

Don't forget about battery

[@ogonzilla]

It really is very niche. But I like it. Just wish it was speedier....processor wise

[@loukashareangas4420]

You would think that with focus peaking D780 would be great with older lenses. HOWEVER, there is a (IMO) major bug when using older lenses with LiveView, which is that the LCD doesn't compensate correctly for the aperture you're at... If you're interested, I have made a video on this topic and I am trying to get Nikon to patch it in a future fw update. If only more people could complain about it to them....

[@LaurencioAmaedus]

@@loukashareangas4420 Was this patched in the end?

[@loukashareangas4420]

@@LaurencioAmaedus Yes, the latest FW almost entirely patches it. Almost, because you still don't get a lightmeter of you turn exposure preview off. But at least you get one on the top LCD and the exposure preview now works flawlessly!

[@creativityrevealed3659]

I have considered the D780, same sensor as the Z6 but easier to use while getting creative with older glass. The thing I miss most when going to my D750 is not seeing the live histogram in the EVF. Everything is a tradeoff. If there was a camera that did everything that anyone could ever want, we'd all be using the exact same system, wouldn't that be fun. 🍻cheers!

[@Bareego]

Great review. I moved to Canon a few years back and have recently decided to move back to Nikon. But I've just bought a D700, and couldn't be happier. And that body costs a lot less. I like that they've kept most controls the same on the 780 (putting the modes back on the wheel on the left is even better than the D700). There are so many cheap AF(D) lenses out there that still perform, I can recommend it for someone who wants to experience the joys of an optical viewfinder. D700 second hand cost just over $300, absolute steal for such a great camera. And then if you want more pixels and such you can always move to Z with adapter or 780 and keep using all your lenses.

[@CrisConstantin]

It’s a great camera. I played with it a bit when they released it. It’s fun to shoot “old school” but I believe, like you said, that 500$ less in price will sell this even better. The IQ is Nikon, great colors and beautiful rendition. Now, please send it my way, I need to see if you were right about all the things you mentioned🤣😂🤣. Good video, man. Be safe

[@loukashareangas4420]

I love my D780 but it (as of yet) has a MAJOR (IMO) bug when used with older manual focus+aperture lenses in LiveView. You either get an incorrect exposure preview or you get NO Lightmeter on screen. I have made a video on this on (only video on my "channel") as it is one of the reasons I wanted this camera. I still love it and have a workaround but it would be so great if Nikon fixed it with a firmware update.... I've brought it to their attention but if you could do a video on this issue it would surely get more attention than what I have done...

Thank you for spreading so much well deserved Nikon love, especially after I wrote you that comment some time ago ✌😍 About the issue with those AI- s lenses used via Live View, I do hope people know how to enter their values into the camera settings correctly. Any thoughts on that one? And, this is objectively a great review on, yes a niche camera but for us faithful Nikon photographers it's a blessing.

[@davemil716]

You hit on a lot of points that I found myself dealing with when I switched to Nikon this year. I couldn't afford a second Z body so I matched up my Z5 with a D7100. There were so many contributing factors to match a APS with the Z5 FF. I am using the same battery, dual slots on both, and I picked up lots of DX AF-s glass. That is my only contention at the moment, DX lenses. I am considering trading in the D7100 for a Z50, not sure. The D7100 is heavier and larger but overall I do like it. I prefer mirrorless, but learning to live with the DSLR for now... great video, love how you hit so many of the factors I have considered. Thanks!

[@radinnasir8933]

I paired my D850 with a z50. I use my D850 for birds and landscape shots. Wanna get those 'professional' look. While my z50 I use for family outings (which is most of the time) and street photography. Works very well for my kind of use. Though sometimes I look at a used z7 lustingly..

[@Willymaze]

I've been looking for reasons to let go of my D7100 but still compared to the D750 and Z5, IQ is still really good. I too was considering the Z50 but I'm not willing to have separate batteries (EN-EL14s) and not having IBIS breaks the deal for me. When Nikon releases a true D7000 series replacement in the form of a Z70 then I will surely get one.

[@davemil716]

[@KevinEuceda]

Still rocking my D610 myself…and just like you said, as a non-pro, using the D610 for the occasional formal shoot is sufficient, specifically with good quality glass. However, I’ve been considering changing the camera to perhaps this one or the D750 which goes for about $700 used.

very nice video and honest! I love the DSLR ergos and I feel something is missing with the mirrorless cameras, but the extra $1000 usd makes me say "I can buy stuff to make it better and still have a cheaper price!" I have a D7500 and I believe they have the same layour and the D780 will use all the lenses I have (the FX and maybe some Dx) and not needing 2 sets of lenses it is a plus ! Thanks for your videos, they are funny and informative!

I’ll never get used to the cheap build feeling of mirrorless cameras. Even the high end mirror less cameras feel cheap compared to a D780 or D850. Don’t get me started on those Z lenses. Yes they are sharp but feel like trash. Plastic fantastic. You pay way more for cheaply made products these days. I miss the gold rings of Nikon. Canon kept their red rings on their L lenses, why didn’t Nikon do the same with their gold ring lenses.

It is basically the same (a tad better in the mirrorless because they have a more precise AF, and more recent hardware). Mirrorless just make it easier to get the shot you want.

I love my D780. Perfect "in-between" camera' as you said, a gateway to mirrorless. Great low-light performance; I paired it with my F Mount 105mm f1.4 portrait lens to get nice shots of comet Neowise last year. It's great for night shots, timelapses, natural light portraits and the like. Thanks for giving this amazing little camera some love, Omar - it's an underrated gem.

Is Omar correct that you can't set the flat profile for video when you change over - seems strange - I can on my D750.

[@wolfgangwhyte5571]

@@markshirley01 Not to quarrel with Omar (he has far more experience than I), but I'm looking at my Movie menu on the D780 right now, and if you scroll down and select "Set Picture Control", there is A) a setting that says "Same as photo settings; and B) there is a Flat (and all the other pic controls) available in the Movie section. Before you buy, ask the sales agent; but as far as I can see, it looks like you can select Flat for movie. To be honest tho, if you're looking to purchase for video purposes, you might want to consider the Z5. There's a significant crop, but the image stabilization on the mirrorless units means no gimbal. If you splurge and get the Z6ii, you get great video without nasty crop and you also get IBIS. If you're serious about video, consider the Z6 or Z6ii

[@ankurbagai1056]

Used to be a Nikon Shooter until 2017 before switching to Sony & Fujifilm, my last was D750 & D800E, used them to their end, but what a beautiful experience and lately, Mirrorless while evolving has made me feel somewhat lacking. Wanting to switching back Nikon for colors, and was confused between Z5 & D780 as they're similarly priced now in my country. This video made on thing clear, DSLR aren't dead, especially with its Live View function while having the OVF for much of the work. Only think that is a con personally for me is the weight & IBIS otherwise, it's a solid camera with more options in used market for lens than Z lens, and adapting Nikon isn't as smooth or good as Canon has done with their system. Highly considering having D780 for couple of years, wait for a Used Z8 to hit the market or something, and grab that while having F lenses to adapt & Z to upgrade.

Shame that Pentax had to discontinue the K-P. A DSLR with an OVF, the size of a mirrorless with IBIS and weather sealing. Albeit not full frame, but still a great camera for casual shooters.

[@JacoSmith72]

Great post. And there I thought I'm the only person on the planet that changed from Canon to Nikon. My reason was simply that the Canon support in SA is just a little less than non-existing. The other reason that became more evident later is that Nikon's ergonomics is simply unmatched by ANY other brand making them a pleasure to use. Back to your post. So I was robbed from my Camera backpack on the very last day of 2021 when I was suppose to do our year end celebration shoot. The only thing I have left is a nifty little 35mm f1.8 lens and 3 flashes. Starting from scratch the first thing I was thinking was should I go mirrorless? Now, every single mirrorless body I held till date felt like I just can't get a grip on them. And no my hands are not that big. My other dilemma is that (giving away my age here) I started off with film and I am addicted to the nostalgy of looking through a OVF. Plus it looks much more professional. Lol. The next dilemma is that I know eventually, if not already, no more effort will be put into new tech for DSLR's. What is the solution I wonder.... Stay tuned.

[@psoon04286]

Hi Omar, there’s a very low mileage 780 that I’m looking at and if the price is right might get added to my kit. The last DSLR that I used extensively was the D300S before switching to the Z. Somehow, the OVF is still important to me besides the battery performance, but the Z body’s IBIS and more precise AF is hard to ignore

[@ebedelohim514]

Hi Omar. I have a very important question for you. I currently own a d850 and a Z6ii. I love both cameras but am considering selling the d850 for a d780. The reason is because I want a second camera that can do both video and photo and I have 2 Nikkor AF-D lenses that I will NEVER part with. (105 f2 dc / 180 f2.8d) so the question: I know that the d850’s focus system for photo is much better that the d780 (which I will have to be ok with), but is the d780’s focusing for video comparable to the z6ii? My concern is that it will not be as good as the z6ii for video autofocus (mainly eye-af) using AF-S lenses. PLEASE advise! I am desperate for a solid answer to this!!!

If you do any low light shooting with moving targets such as sports the Z line just doesn't track or auto focus very well and suffers from EV blackout when doing FPS shooting. This D780 may be able to handle that task and also give you some of the advantages of the Z cameras. I tried the Z's and just couldn't get them to do the job so stayed with my D6. I have a Z9 on order so perhaps that will fit the bill.

Can’t believe you just “Rick rolled” me! 😀 Great camera!

[@zollieuncle9647]

Any advantages over d850?

[@guentherdanzer7439]

I went from Nikon to Panasonic and then to Olympus, now I'm back and use Nikon FX-DSLRs. I might try the Z-Series, but I'm not that sure.

[@JoseMartinez-hx6qe]

Here first wassup also I have that and I have no regrets whatsoever! I left an xpro2 for it but I'll get it back soon

A lot of similarities with the Canon 90D in the controls between the types of focusing. I find the focus is sharper in live view than the OVF when shooting handheld with the 90D.

DSLR are not dead, they are like vinyl. Afters shooting mostly Fuji the last couple of years (x-t20 & x-t3) i recently started using my Nikon D7200 again: Love the OFV and love the AF even more. Will never sell it!

[@marcusbeasley3212]

One day I'm going to turn on an Omar video and he's going to be using the Z 50 1.2...one day (I love this lens). Glad you're enjoying Nikon.

[@ogonzilla]

The 50mm 1.8 is pretty dang nice....and light...and cheap!!! :)

[@marcusbeasley3212]

@@ogonzilla Everybody says that. I have the other 1.8's (35 and 85) and wanted something completely different so got the 50 1.2. Not complaining. They're both great lenses.

[@markshirley01]

Are you sure on the video profile thing. On my D750 I set flat profile under my video settings - then when I flip to video its always in flat profile. I find it hard to believe you can't do that on the D780.

[@Collin2377]

What do a lot of people say about this camera and the flash ? You cannot use the regular flash ?

[@josephtiani6145]

I’m just excited about Nikon getting some love recently lol I’m tempted by the 28-75mm 2.8z K lens and might pre order it. I have the 24-70mm f4 but you can never have enough mid range fast zooms right?

[@ogonzilla]

Haha...don't sell that 24-70f4....just re-bought it used...

[@easyki]

Since I bought the Z7II, my D850 is taking dust... But still hesitating: sell or keep...

[@craigroethler1495]

Yay B&H! The giant NYC neighborhood store!

[@sunesnigel]

Wise words Omar 👍🏻

[@sergeantcrow]

I'm guessing..... It's fantastic ! Though I say that about all my old DSLRs...

[@jacquelinevs]

I’m obsessed with mine. Wedding photographer here

[@aj9270]

what is the brand / model # of the wrist strap in the vid ?

[@mjztx]

I can watch any of your videos about a camera and end up wanting one.. even though I've moved to mirrorless and have never shot Nikon.

[@tkay4401]

What is the pinky grip you got for you Z camera?

[@image-i-nation-photography]

Love mine
