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 2 года назад

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!

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

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.

@creativityrevealed3659 2 года назад

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!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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....

@photo2000 5 месяцев назад

This is not in the marketing for Nikon mirrorless... Z series are great in certain lighting conditions, I own a Z6 and love using it. BUT!! I do not trust it in portrait sessions when I NEED to nail focus every time, under sub optimal ambient lighting conditions. Every time, I will get a missed focus every 5 or so shots... this is unacceptable. My D750 nails focus every time (however these is an alignment issue between the visual autofocus point in the viewfinder and where it actually is in the focus mechanism.... but that's a different story) Good to hear the DSLR 780 still performs great!! I think it will be my next camera when time comes to get new camera.... having best aspects of dslr and mirrorless in one body is great. Nikon stuffs it up again though by removing ability to attach a functioning vertical grip, in an era where we all shoot to display imagery in vertical orientation, classic Nikon!! I'll send them my physio bill when my elbow and shoulder finally give up.

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

@davemil716 2 года назад

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!

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.

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.

The main issue though is you still have one of the big disadvantages of mirrorless, the reduced usable dynamic range from the banding. This is because there are phase sensors on the inage sensor. My D750 has wayyyy more useable dynamic range than my Z6, despite the 750 not being BSI.

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.

I now own it glad I waited was planning on getting the d750, totally love this camera both photo and video excellent performance. If ones main work is video get a mirrorless, for the best of both worlds you can't beat this baby especially if you were already shooting Nikon dslr.

@nrice3623 13 дней назад

I'm still considering it now in 2024, as I haven't jumped to mirrorless yet. (My D750 is still working great though!). How do you like it?

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 2 года назад

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

@marcusbeasley3212 2 года назад

@@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.

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

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.

@savnac Год назад

electronic shutter vs mechanical shutter too. Shooting with a silent mode on a Mirrorless is amazing when shooting things like church events or your kids play or things like that.

@dr.emilschaffhausen4683 2 года назад

The main thing keeping me from moving to this from my D610 is that I still use capture nx2 and the filter plugins. I'm getting too old to change editing software.

Talking about good modern DSLR, I would love to know your opinion about the Pentax K-3 III

@mpactdesignmedia Год назад

I have a D810. I bought it after owning a Canon 5DMKIII. A whole new world was opened to me. My problem with jumping to mirrorless is....I own a D810! The D750, 810, 780 & 850 - all contain INSANE levels of dynamic range. Top of the line in ISO invariance. I have come to rely on it and have tried a TON of mirrorless in trying to find a 'hybrid' as I also shoot video (Nikon sucks at video, even the Z series - I wish they didn't, but they do), but I have yet to find any mirrorless in any brand (the highest end $5000+ camera aside) that comes close.

@Berry_N 2 года назад

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.

Mirrorless is to DSLR, what DSLR was to film. It may not be dead but the writing is on the walls.

@DJLazinator 2 года назад

I have a full Fuji system and EOS R, and for serious jobs, I still reach for my D850 most frequently. Nikon, you need to make a Z8!!! D850 body, mostly Z9 innards.

@ogonzilla 2 года назад

Sign me up!!! z8!

@marcusbraun8889 2 года назад

Gonna happen sooner or later (I think rather sooner, as in 2022). Nikon launches/updates 2-3 bodies every year. Just because they launched the z9 doesn't mean they will stop launching other bodies... Once the z6/7 get their III updates and a z8 launches - in whatever sequence and times frame, whatever specs - less and less peeps will want another dSLR. I'm waiting patiently. I knew my z7 first gen wouldn't be the perfect camera for me, but rather than going d850 I went z7. Gives me time to build up my lens setup. And yes, I love the Z's, surprised how good they are (totally underrated, in particular since last AF update), love the smaller size (goes often cycling with me). They make great second-hands IMO!

@Julian-cy3bm 2 года назад

Hey Omar, have you shot with the z6 and zii at a job together? This is what I have been using for a few months together and notice how much different the colors can be, especially the white balance. Have you notice this? If so, how do you go about matching them?

@dafyddthomas7299 2 года назад

Great video, shame that at same time Nikon didn't apply D780 video Z sauce to the D850 -> D860

@HerezaLiem 2 года назад

This is make me really thinking about switching to fuji from my trusty D90. I kinda want Z6 but my lens are old film AF lenses

@josephtiani6145 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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