There're tons of channels on KZread that makes review of any gear they could find but the reality is less and less people care about it for real now.

    I don't understand why manufacturers can't make a DSLR style OVF with an EVF also built in. As for Fuji's 'rangefinders', I'd be a lot more impressed if there were mechanical coupling for focusing optically. Unfortunately, the focusing aid is only coupled electronically so it's worthless with adapted lenses and can pretty easily get out of sync.

I imagine that a big part of what increases the D780s cost is just the limited number of cameras they're expecting to sell. Still- for $800 more, I'd buy a dual mirrorless/DSLR.

    AF-D lenses are DEFINITELY faster to focus than AF-G lenses in my experience, at least on my D-850. My theory is that there's just so much glass in high-end lenses that an ultrasonic motor doesn't have the torque to push the elements around like a screw-focus system can.

    Among Nikon fans the D750 is very well regarded even to day its a dream camera for many. It’s often cited as one of the best in the Nikon range for low light. However I didn’t find it would focus at all well in low light on a moving subject and the focus area was very much in the middle of the view finder.

    Thank you so much for the video. I’m planning to purchase my very first DSLR which is Nikon D750 along with 85mm 1.8 + 50mm 1.8 G lens. I’m wondering is it still worth to buy this camera considering 5 years old?. The concern I have from D750 is - 1. Slower AF, 2. Shutter speed of 1/4000 which is half the D780/Z6ii/Z5. Are these show stopper for D750?. Purpose of buying a camera is for taking Portraits, Still, Landscape, Bird, Product photography (learning) and of course my kids. It would be really great if you throw some lights on my concern to make a wise decision.... other options I have considered is Nikon D780 with one of the lens and Z6ii with the kit lens... apart from D780 and Z6ii I have been suggesting to go with D850 with the kit lens. Thank you and looking forward to your recommendation.

    I have my D5200 still, looking to upgrade as this body is rather at it's end. It needs either serious maintenance or just toss it and get something better. I was initially looking at the D750 and D810, mostly because the D850 is too expensive. But this is a brand new option I didn't even know about until about a hour ago. So far, this has my vote as it looks so far to be the far better option. It even seems to have far less the static noise issue then the D5 mark 3, by far. Still doing some research before I decide what to do, I do have to figure out something fast as I can't really do much at all atm.

    Why do amateur photographers obsess so much about mirrorless or not? They both have their place. I prefer the optical vf and much longer battery life of the dslr, while I like the video capabailities of the sony series (which has nothing to do with mirrorless) and the compact size with a pancake lens for street/travel. For anything with 'pro' lenses the size difference is negligible.

    For someone new to the system or shooting mainly video, Z-system would be a much better choice. But if you own a large number of F-lens, or which to find cheaper lens, then the dSLR is a better option, at least not with the pricey D780. F-mount lenses is looking like the Sony A-mount lenses, lots of choices and going at affordable price. As a Nikon dSLR user for the past 10+ years, I do feel that we are moving towards mirrorless, just a matter of time.

    I am doing photography since 2012 & I bought D5100 after watching Kai's review on DegRevTV. Since then I am using Nikon. From D5100 - D750- D810 & in 2018 I finally bought D850 & D5600. I sold D750 & D810 but D5100 still remains with me as my first camera. Now in 2021, I have D850, D5600 & D5100. I use D5600 for travel, street stuff because it feels like mirrorless. Lightweight & Compact with 35mm dx lens. D850 I use for weddings & fashion with 85 1.4, 50 1.4 nikon & tamron 24-70 2.8. While my setup is not for video, so I am in a confusion whether it is time to buy a mirrorless for secondary camera or stick with dslr like D780? I can't convert to sony or canon because I have all nikon lenses.

    One of the things I really miss in my mirrorless cameras is the mirror+shutter sound. This may sound really stupid, but one of the reasons I ended up choosing Nikon over Canon when first starting out was the confident, sharp, smart clack of the mirror + mechanical shutter in the D7000. All of the Canon DSLRs I tried out had a sort of sloppy floppy sound. Mirrorless cameras take the slop and flop to the next level and usually sound like slapping a wet roll of toilet paper against a sponge.

    A little late for me to comment, but I'm glad that I'm not the only one that prefers the OVFs of a DSLR over an EVF. Shooting with an OVF has become a part of me, and mirrorless just doesn't feel the same. I hope that DSLRs will continue to be manufactured by the big brands for another decade (extremely unlikely).

    I mostly agree with Kai, but it also shows the issue with D780. It is just too similar compared to D750 for OVF shooting. I don't know a new exposure sensor and "D5 AF algorithm" is good enough for many people. Not to mention you lost pop up flash and the option for grip. I think if they have the D5 AF system then at least there are some meaningful upgrades compared to D750.

    I see a split in cameras. DSLR's are optimized for high speed still image photography that can capture video, whereas a mirrorless camera is optimized to capture video and is capable of still image photography. At least that's how I think of it.

  • @artistjoh

    Mirrorless is better for over-all lens choices and video, but the D780 is better for using AF-D lenses. However, most people buy AF-S lenses for VR and other desirable modern goodies, so for the majority, mirrorless is the better choice. But some of us do silly things, like shoot film on old manual cameras, and so AF-D lenses are an essential choice, and a traditional DSLR is a good choice. So I am glad there are cameras like the D780. It is so we can do silly things, like share our old lenses with old film cameras.

    If I were shooting video consistently I'd go mirrorless, that's literally the only advantage a mirrorless camera has. I want to say IBIS is a factor too but it's not. Its only a factor if you add in the weight savings + IBIS b/c you need weight to balance slow shutter speeds without IBIS and add in lens stabilization.

Also I preffer to have the options to see what I should get and what I'm getting (OVF & EVF/live view). Also the battery life. The D850 upgrade would be interesting.

    I think the idea that cameras go "obsolete" is a bit of a misconception. It's not so much that they go obsolete, but rather than they just don't fulfill your needs as you grow and progress as a photographer. If all you do is take snapshots and don't really care about IQ or printing, then a 10+ year old camera is still relevant for you because it does what you want it to do. I just picked up a Pansonic GF1 the other day for $60. By today's standards yeah it's obsolete but it still takes pictures, so I don't really consider it to be obsolete. Yes it lacks some of the latest features of the modern cameras, but I don't think cameras really go "obsolete". What one may consider "obsolete" another may say it's plenty and still relevant. I think the key is to find a camera that works for you, whether that's the latest and greatest because you're constantly pushing the boundaries of certain genres like sports or wildlife, or a 5-10 year old camera if you do landscapes or portraiture. (And the other thing is I think people feel that obsolete means "doesn't work" as in you can't use it -- for the most part, this isn't true and why I feel cameras and lenses don't really go obsolete they'll keep working as long as you take care of them even after the mfr has long since stopped supporting them or even selling them.).
