In the mirrorless world, the Nikon D780 has been able to keep up by staying true to its DSLR roots while adopting its mirrorless cousin's more advanced capabilities. Are its efforts enough? It's certainly compelling for those who still love the look and feel of DSLRs over anything else.
Pros:
  • Excellent sensor
  • Great ISO performance
  • 4K at 30fps video capability with N-Log
  • Long battery life
  • Articulating touchscreen LCD
  • Comfortable grip
  • Rugged built
Cons:
  • Optical viewfinder has limited AF area
  • No in-body image stabilization
  • Bulkier than mirrorless bodies
