Oct 19, 2023 · Same with other manufacturers mirrorless cameras, to be fair, other than fixed lens ones. As it looks like being the last DSLR from Nikon and they seem to have put a lot into it, it suited me well as an upgrade from the D750 - which I liked a lot. The D780 may be my last Nikon as the Z8 and Z9 would be OTT for me.

Aug 3, 2024 · Hello, long time user of Nikons, new user of the D780. I’ve setup U1 and U2 to be manual shutter speed and manual aperture and auto ISO. U1 is set to vivid color, U2 is set to monochrome. Both U1 and U2 were saved with a shutter speed of 400 and an aperture of f8. So here is the problem, if I...

Feb 4, 2024 · I have an SB-800 Speedlight, from long ago, and would like to use it on my two Nikon DSLR cameras - Df, and D780. On the Df, everything works fine. Unless I get the flash to work on my D780, I have to either use it on my Df, or buy a flash that is compatible with my D780. I have reset the flash, and tried anything that other people hinted at.

Jan 13, 2024 · There is nothing wrong with the D780 low light AF performance, it's fine, just the D800 defies logic. I can barely see the AF target in very dim light and it can still lock. No AF assist of course. Surprising. Lesson to learn here is don't believe the spec sheet, it doesn't always add up to reality. On paper the D780 has superior low light AF

Aug 31, 2022 · Since I do not have the Nikon power adapter for the D780 to use the USB for charging, I was pleasantly surprised when I plugged it into my docking station and saw the camera's CHG light come on! Found out that when connected and the camera is ON, I can access it to transfer images rather than mess with taking the card out, etc.

May 25, 2020 · Even better still, it has the Z6 bones inside for video and Live View, which makes the D780 the closest thing to a hybrid DSLR/mirrorless camera we've seen to date. No, I won't be getting one. I just sold my D750 and I'm fully committed to the Z6 now. p.s. It appears that the D780 is a D750 with the Z6 sensor since the sensor performance is ...

Nov 15, 2022 · I am thinking Nikon do really need to update the firmware on the D780, to incorporate some of the Z6 improvements on the AF and some other areas/tweaks. Though I am of the feeling they seem to view firmware in a different light recently! (ie low priority) Here is hoping for some improvement.

Jul 27, 2022 · FWIW attached some images from the Dpreview site this time using a lens designed for the Z7 the Z 85mm and for the D780 the AFS 85; both at the same shutter speed and f/stop. Left D780 images Images are viewed at 100% zoom and equalised for equivalent size. If printed the difference would be noticeable when viewed at a reasonable difference.

Apr 4, 2022 · My d780 has recently developed a problem with randomly displaying ERR and stops all photo functions. I discovered a quick remedy was to switch to MUp mode and press the shutter release. Then is starts working again. Anyone have an idea as to what may be the cause?

Dec 20, 2021 · I went D200-->D7200-->D780 and can't believe the differences I see w/my new body. I also just got my hands on the Sigma 14-24 f/2.8 ART lens (which barely beat out the Nikon version, for me) and can't wait to put that combo through its paces.
