Hello, what about the mirror slap or shutter shock on the D780? I hate that on the D750. Thank you

For extra comedy, a Z7ii ad preceded this video for me. Ladies and gentlemen, Nikon competing with itself

I bought it on and as a professional shooter I love it and with my 24-70 2.8, it is fantastic.

Excellent video. Thank you.

Glad I’m not hung up on mirrorless and still use DSLR’s 😊

Glad you're still being catered for!

I own a D780 and I love it! I consider myself as an early adapter because I’m always looking for new things or new methods. Don’t stick to what you’ve done and expect to get better (if you do what you did, you get what you’ve done). And still: I love my D780! I have had a couple of mirrorless camera’s in my hands and I can’t get used to them: to small (though I have small hands), I mis the extra buttons, to light weight (and therefor an inbalance with a couple of my lenses), battery life, prone to a dusty sensor (the mirror blocks the sensor in that manner), etc. A friend of my switched to Sony A7 but regrets that and is considering switching back to Nikon DSLR. I could go on with this, but I won’t. To sum it up: I love the D780

No sadly about it, a lot of people bought into the D750, it was a great camera.

The D780 is on my wishlist.

This is a very good camera for both stills and video and is a smart move by Nikon, especially for the F mount users. I tried out the D780 at my local camera store and the deal breaker for me was the mechanical shutter noise, which is about average for DSLRs. I do indoor dance and theater with my Z6 through the EVF using the quieter shutter. I am going to pass on the D780 and continue to build my mirrorless system for my specialty. This D780 is still a great camera and will meet the needs of Nikon's hybrid shooter very well.

@ppmagazine

We have to agree with that, the mirror slap is a definite downside with DSLRs when you put them against the mirrorless cameras with quieter shutters and silent shooting. It does offer silent shooting through the Live View, though that will obviously negate the OVF. As you say, it's a limitation of all DSLRs.

I've been toying with the idea of going full frame after cutting my teeth on an APS-C Nikon D5200 and I didn't want to go mirrorless, after watching your review I'm sold on the D780, I know it's been out a few years now but it still seems a solid good camera.

I think for still photographers, the D780 is hard to sell. With the 2300$ price tag, there are no significant upgrades to photography. At the very least, they should have provided the 153 AF system to justify the price.

This is the best camera I was looking for, a marriage of both worlds indeed. But I came to learn that it is not vertical grip compatible which is really sad for me. Had it not been for this I would have bought it.

Of course for people with F glass it makes sense for direct mount shooting without adapters. The camera is jack of trade master of non but that’s what makes this camera so special. Sure today mirrorless has clear advantages…but for out door shooting dslr view is still the best. This camera has everything you need, it has better low light image quality than D850 and also even better dynamic range. The ergonomics feels amazing in the hands and body feels solid and reasonable weight. It’s too bad this camera didn’t come out 2 years sooner it would have gotten much more attention.

I would agree that mirrorless is the new dog, and it's clear that it's now at the point where it may be just outselling DSLRs, but I think the DSLR market is surprisingly healthy all things considered. I do think there are people who like to say otherwise for views, but there were about 20 million interchangeable lens cameras shipped in 2018. There was a drop of 24% to 2019, so let's say 15 million shipped last year (could very well be less). About 30% were likely DSLRs (very conservatively, and largely due to the fact that there were fewer DSLRs produced than mirrorless, it could likely be closer to 35-40%), which means there's still millions of people who will opt for DSLRs against mirrorless, even if mirrorless is the majority now. It will be interesting to see, and if any DSLR stands a good chance, this is as good as any.

if i were to get one i'd need a recommendation for a good 50mm lens to add, i've tried to loan a similar camera with the 50 1.4g but it was terrible wide open. pretty sure my budget can't go much higher though.

Our of The Nikon F, F301, D90, D700, D800e and now the D850. Thoughts are the one I can remember. I just hope that this one is better as I do love Nikons. I am waiting for the Next high MB Z series camera to come out. I am not a fast shooter so the D5 or its replacement is not what I am look for. From this and one or two other videos this D780 look like they have done a very good blend of features from there Z series and DSLR's. Thanks for some great videos.

If you didn't like something about the D750, not sure the D780 will change your mind. That said, it does feel slicker than the D750 to us, so it's worth checking out if you're in the market.

As for the grip, fingers crossed the announce something in development, though I'm sure there could be some third party support.

@@EEEBA1 I've never been a battery grip user, but I can compare the battery life of 780 vs 750. As 780 has the ability to shoot in screen like a "mirrorless", you drain the battery faster. If you shoot by optical view finder you have a very long life battery. At the beginning I only shooted by OVF, but after some tests I'm getting used to shoot by screen and it is very practical. So I carry old batteries of my D750 and it may save my day in case I need it (rarely need them). About big lenses can't tell you.
