Excellent and professional camera
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is an excellent camera for those like me who wanted more professional options and ability then i was getting with the entry-level consumer DSLR. Very little to not like. I wish it had illuminated buttons on back. I wish it offered a larger number of focus points and crosstype focus points. Maybe even a little bit higher resolution, say around 35 megapixels would have been nice. But overall, I really am liking it.

Good Choicem
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Sold my Z6 and bought this for the hefty feel and feel more comfortable using DSLR vice Mirrorless. All the same features of the Z6 but sticking my Tamron 150-600mm Telephoto feels more balanced. Having the regular eyepiece and not having an EVF is a mixed blessing. Easier to track objects, do miss seeing the exposure setup of the Z6. Overall, I am a lot happier with the 780

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

Nikon D780 review: Even the best DSLR is still a DSLRThe 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.
Full Review - Digital Photography ReviewDan Bracaglia , Richard Butler on February 18, 2020
Nikon D780 ReviewNikon'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.

Nikon D780 ReviewWhile 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.

Q: QuestionCan I use all lens of Nikon D7200 for Nikon D850
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer 7200 is crop frame DX camera, 850 full FX, so I’m not sure if 850 has a mode to adjust for using as such. Suggest check Nikon web site for 850, should have compatibility lists available.

Q: QuestionHow would a D850 owner benefit from a trade to to the D870
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer The Nikon D850 and the D780 are two completely different cameras that each have their own specific features to help with different types of photography or video needs. The D780 will act much like our Mirrorless Z6 camera when used in the Live View Setting. It has the advantage of using the phase detect focusing system while having added focus features like Eye-AF. While both of these cameras can shoot in 4k UHD, the updated focusing system also helps the D780 excel when recording video. The D780 also has a higher native ISO than the D850, being able to go up to 51,200, compared to the D850 being able to go to 25,600. If you need more information, please feel free to contact Nikon Customer Support.
