Description

From capturing fast-moving action to jaw-dropping time-lapse sequences and rich 4K videos, Nikon’s new D780 FX-format D-SLR lets your vision take flight. The long-awaited successor to the D750 has the same robust yet agile body, while packing even more heavyweight performance. Its 51-point AF system detects and tracks subjects more tenaciously, thanks to innovations including a new AF algorithm adapted from the flagship D5. It is the first Nikon D-SLR to incorporate focal-plane phase-detection AF, bringing huge enhancements in live view shooting, with wide 273-point coverage and eye-detection AF. And the possibilities don’t end there: it offers a rich array of advanced image-making options, from improved time-lapse movies to shutter speeds of 1/8000 to 900 s, and diverse movie functions including 4K UHD/30p with HDR (HLG) support. Combined with the effortless handling of a touch-operable LCD, the D780 lets you stay nimble, and seize every imaging opportunity. • Sharp acquisition thanks to advanced 51-point AF system with new AF algorithm adapted from the flagship D5, and comfortable, real-time tracking via optical viewfinder • First Nikon D-SLR to incorporate focal-plane phase-detection AF: Reliable 273-point hybrid AF system for live view and movie recording • Eye-detection AF for more engaging, candid portraits • Nikon FX-format backside illumination CMOS image sensor featuring 24.5 effective megapixels and ISO 100-51200 • Shutter speeds from 1/8000 to 900 s for capturing everything from split-second moments to gradual movements over extended periods of time • Interval-timer photography with the ability to generate time-lapse movies in-camera • Long battery life allowing up to approx. 2,260 still shots per charge • NIKKOR F lenses offering abundant creative options with superior optical quality • 4K UHD/30p with HDR (HLG) and N-Log options during 10-bit external recording via HDMI for richer, more beautiful colors, and Full HD/120p for impressive slow- motion Includes: D780 Camera Body - EN-EL15b Rechargeable Li-ion Battery - MH-25a Battery Charger - UC-E24 USB Cable - AN-DC21 Strap - BF-1B Body Cap - DK-5 Eyepiece Cap - DK-31 Rubber Eyecup.

  • Defective New Camera from Adorama.
Style: w/ 24-120mm Set: Base
The camera appeared flawless out of the box, but by having shot 500 or so image I had a freeze. I'd seen some issues about that occurring rarely. Then this morning it happened twice within half an hour. I could not get ahold of Adorama via chat who "did not recognize the seller" and advised me to go to their page and chat from there, unfortunately, the ridiculous thing "did not recognize the seller". I got in touch with Amazon who started the refund process and though the "A to Z" guarantee, I will be refunded. A previous D780 from another vendor last month had issues. A hint, as you pack the thing up, take photos of the camera, lens uncovered front and back, camera from all sides, include the mirror, show the RMA sent next to the screen and document it being boxed up, sealed up and ready to return. I went so far as to photograph the scan at UPS. I then sent an image capture of the UPS "We've received your item" and when it is delivered. Make note of who accepted it and where. They can't (the company) dispute that. This is the second D780 in as many months I have had to return with the same issue. The camera IS new. I have had D780s before which were flawless. My rating here is not for the camera for which I give five stars, but for the vendor. Consider whom you purchase it from. ... show more

  • Great Video Upgrade from the 750 but Tamron lenses....
Style: Body Only Set: Base
I shot with the 750 (2 of them) for 5 years and in the past 3 years have really felt the need for better video features. I was about to trade them in for z6's but then the 780 was announced and due to some lens incompatibility (I have 2 Tamron G1 lenses I really like) I decided to delay a full switch to mirrorless and go with the 780. Like the myriad of reviews say, the camera is great in photo mode, I like the rearrangement of buttons and I really like the touch screen, etc. I'm still very happy with the purchase. However, one of my primary check boxes was to keep using my Tamron glass and that is where I've run into problems. My 70-200 2.8 G1 does not play well with the LV mode . Basically, if you're in LV and the AF is engaged, the LV will shut off intermittently. It appears to be connected to the power draw required to drive the AF motor. I had it start acting up on me at a video shoot the other day. I'm still trying to confirm if this happens with the G2 version of this lens (I don't know anyone who has one). So far my Tamron 15-30 is behaving (another reported problem lens for the z6) but I haven't put it through it's paces yet. TLDR: If you have Tamron Lenses that are incompatible with the Z6, they may be also incompatible (in LV) with the 780. ... show more
