It is everything I thought it would be! I just changed over from my D5600 of 5 years (still have and use), to the D780. I still have a bit of work to do with learning all the functions and capabilities, but I'm looking forward to taking that journey. It is an excellent hybrid DSLR that allows me to take advantage of some of the capabilities of a mirror less camera without changing platforms and lens base. Thanks Nikon, I'm throughly impressed.

I currently own a D850 and wanted a second camera to backup the workhorse. Choosing the D780 based on other reviews and reputation alone was a bit of a stretch for me since I never actually seen one, or held one in my hands. This is such a great little responsive machine! It fits well in your hand and is lighter than many other DSLRs.The first thing I noticed looking through the view finder was the speed and accuracy of the autofocus.The feel of it when you fire the shutter is smooth and confident. Every shot I have taken has been sharp. The color rendition has been fascinating, if perhaps a little warm, but something you can easily live with and adjust if needed.Highly recommended.

Amazing images produced, especially with older AI-S lenses, which are fully supported by this full-frame DSLR.I would give it 5 stars were it not for the iffy wifi/bluetooth connectivity. It appears not to coexist with other devices as well as I believe it should. If I am using it incorrectly, I apologize. But that is doubtful.

Removes all minor issues I had with D750, especially the much upgraded buffer is nice with burst shooting.

After a significant amount of homework and comparison shopping for a full-frame upgrade, I decided this would be worth the cost. Two months in and I am more than impressed. Love that it provides the feel, speed and capability of a high-performance DSLR with OVF (with the quietest mechanical shutter I've ever heard) and gives you the option of using the excellently accurate (and silent electronic shutter) Live View with its Z-series phase detect focus system. The low-light capability of this camera to capture clear sharp images at high ISO is unbelievable and makes more photographic opportunities possible.

I'm a long time Nikon user and this is by far my favorite Nikon camera. In my opinion the focus improvements on this camera are game changing. I bought it as a second shooting body and thought my D750 could never be beat but this leaves the D750 in the dust. I've had it 4 months now and am going to be purchasing another one to replace my D750. As a family photographer being able to schedule shoots in the middle of the day and not worry because of the 1/8000 shutter speed is game changing. Being able to set eye tracking focus on squirmy toddlers is also a welcome feature in my line of work. I have never taken a picture with this camera and felt like my technology failed me. I also love that the controls are intuitive and that unlike the D750, the D780 has the ISO adjustment back up in the main controls with a dedicated button instead of buried.As I approach my next camera purchase I'm putting this camera above the current mirrorless options. It's just the perfect all around camera. I do indoor shoots with no OCF very easily and shoot in the brightest sun without blowing out the pictures. I cannot say enough about this camera!

bought the 600 when it came out never did like it the images is ok bought the z6 when it came out wow its awesomejust bought the 780 wow its awesome just like the z6 and it takes all of my d lenses

Vraiment un super boîtier pour ce prix. Devenu indispensable en toutes circonstances.

I’ve been using Nikons almost exclusively since about 1985. The 780 allows me to use my 1980s 400-3.5AiS, 1992 85-1.8 AF, 1999 180-2.8 AF-D all perfectly without a glitch. My eyesight is not what it once was and I can easily manual focus in this finder. The rest is a Nikon walk in the park to set the controls you want. I always said the N90 was the best integrated one piece camera Nikon ever made, now I think this is right there somewhere. It’s a brilliant machine that has a place among the legends. Dave
