Nikon D780 DSLR Camera Body Only VBA560AA review
The Nikon D780 a great DSLR and is an excellent choice of camera for anyone wedded to an optical viewfinder. It has a solid, dependable body and impressive battery life. It also has Nikon's best Live View system to date, which makes the camera that bit more versatile.
Pros:
- Excellent Live View AF system
- Great battery life
- Dual UHS-II SD card slots
Cons:
- High launch price
- SLR design means the Live View is not visible in the viewfinder
- No joystick for speedy AF point selection when using the viewfinder

Nikon D780 review
We hear a lot of talk about the death of the DSLR, and the unstoppable rise of mirrorless. But DSLRs remain the best choice for many photographers, particularly those who have existing lenses or honed their craft with optical viewfinders – and the D780 is one of the best full-frame options around. It combines great image quality, a weather-proof build, superb battery life and modern autofocus skills. It's a shame there's no in-body image stabilization and it's currently pretty pricey, but the D780 is otherwise a superb all-round DSLR.
Pros:
- Plenty of direct access controls
- Tilting touch-sensitive screen
- Dual card slots
- Fast live-view focusing
- Great battery life
Cons:
- Big and heavy
- Expensive

Nikon D780 review
There’s nothing particularly headline grabbing about the D780, but we found the D780 to be a grower with some very desirable qualities. The video specs are excellent, there's an updated and advanced autofocus system, serious battery performance, and a body built like a tank that will serve you well on any adventure. Asking £2,199 (body-only) seems a little steep and a considerable hike from the Nikon Z6, but this is combining a lot of goodies form the Z6, plus all the qualities many love from a DSLR. Only time will tell is this is the last dying breath of the DSLR, or a sign of more to come.
Pros:
- Two cards slots
- Great for video
- Sturdy
Cons:
- Expensive

Nikon D780 DSLR Camera Body Only VBA560AA review
You do not have to be a traditionalist to appreciate the features of Nikon's thoroughbred SLR camera Nikon D780.
Pros:
- Beautiful still image quality and razor-sharp 4K video. Close to perfect ergonomics, large viewfinder, extreme battery life, weatherproofing and touch screen. Great all-round SLR camera.
Cons:
- More expensive than the Nikon Z6 it is related to, moderate firing rate, no image stabilizer or the possibility of vertical grip. Missing joystick / pointing focus.
