  • BEST Nikon DLSR for the money ever made!
Style: Body Only Set: Base
The second best Nikon DLSR ever made! Amazing capabilities, low light performance. Will do whatever you ask it to do if you put the correct glass in front of it. Cannot praise this model enough!

  • Beast of a camera!!
Style: w/ 24-120mm Set: Base
I love this camera. I had been shooting for years with a Nikon D5300 & although it served me well & I have some awesome photos with it, I felt I wanted to step it up a bit & get a full frame camera. As I tend to do with any big purchase, I researched the hell out of the available cameras. I wanted to stick with Nikon so I could use all the lenses I have. The D750 seems liked it would fit the bill, but being an older model was hard to get & I decided to go with the latest & greatest D780, that way in 3-4-5 years I wouldn’t be wishing I had gotten it instead of the D750. So far the camera is a beast! Great, fast autofocus & incredible low light performance, which is something I like as I take a bunch of low light photos. They say that it really shines for video, but I’m an amateur photographer, not videographer so I won’t really comment on that. Overall it’s a great camera, it’s not cheap, but if you’re looking at cameras at this level I don’t think you’ll regret blowing the money on it. ... show more

  • Low Light Beast!!!
Style: Body Only Set: Base
Focuses in very dark scenarios. Virtually no noise at ISO 22,000. Live view focus tracking is very accurate. Controls are very familiar coming from d7000 series and d750. Very solid build. Touch screen is robust and very useful. Suggest this camera for concerts, weddings, and sports. Worth the money!!! ... show more

  • 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
