Nikon D780 review: Even the best DSLR is still a DSLR

The Nikon D780 replaces the half-decade-old D750. It's a worthy upgrade, but its best new features concern live-view shooting, where the D780 becomes an overweight mirrorless camera.

Phase-detection in live view ; Eye AF works very well ; 4K video with 10-bit output ; Weather-sealed design ; 1/8000s to 15m shutter speed

Nikon D780 review

The Nikon D780 is something of a DSLR-mirrorless camera hybrid. But does it offer the best of both worlds?

Plenty of direct access controls Tilting touch-sensitive screen Dual card slots Fast live-view focusing Great battery life

Big and heavy Expensive

We hear a lot of talk about the death of the DSLR, and the unstoppable rise of mirrorless. But DSLRs remain the best choice for many photographers, particularly those who have existing lenses or honed their craft with optical viewfinders – and the D780...

Nikon D780 Review

Nikon's combined the best of its DSLR and mirrorless cameras into one tough-built body, equally well-suited for stills as it is for video. For effectively modernizing one of the brand's all-star camera lines, it receives our silver award.

The Nikon D780 is a very good camera, all around. Image quality from its full-frame 24MP sensor is class-leading: Raw files offer excellent dynamic range, great noise performance and plenty of detail. JPEG color is also outstanding, though noise...

The DSLR ain't dead (yet)

Two cards slots ; Great for video ; Sturdy

An all-rounder DSLR built like a tank, borrowing some tricks from its mirrorless siblings

Nikon D780 Review

The Nikon D780 is a brand new full-frame DSLR camera that offers a lot of the same features found in the Z6/7 mirrorless range. The D780 has a 24.5 megapixel FX sensor and EXPEED 6 processor, 4K video recording, ISO range of 50-204,800, 12fps burst...

Nikon D780 Review

While Nikon continues to push forward with their new Z-series of mirrorless cameras and lenses, the camera maker nevertheless remains committed to DSLRs, as evidenced by their latest unveiling: a successor to the wildly popular D750 full-frame DSLR.

Nikon D780 Tested To The Limits Review

We review the new Nikon D780, Nikon's new 24mp Full-Frame DSLR, designed to give the best of both world's with the body of a DSLR, and the sensor (and features) found in Nikon's mirrorless cameras.

As we found out, the Nikon D780 copes with almost everything you throw at it, including freezing cold climates and continues to produce excellent results. If you're in the market for a full-frame Digital SLR, then the Nikon D780, with a 24mp BSI CMOS...

Nikon D780 review

Is the Nikon D780 a last hurrah for the DSLR, or a sign of more to come?

Chunky, satisfying handling ; Fast live view AF ; Uncropped 4K video ; Good burst mode ; Dual UHS-II card slots

Dual AF systems ; Manual live view swapping ; Expensive while new

There are no fireworks with the Nikon D780. It doesn’t bring radical new technologies, bar-raising specifications or wacky design features. It’s simply an excellent evolution of a great camera design that has something for enthusiasts and experts...
