Nikon's hybrid DSLR — traditional OVF AF plus Z6-class on-sensor phase-detect in live view. The last great Nikon DSLR.
The Nikon D780 (2020) is perhaps the finest DSLR ever made — two cameras in one. Through the OVF it uses 51-point phase-detect AF; switch to live view and it becomes a Z6 with 273-point on-sensor AF, Eye AF, and 12fps silent shooting.
24.5MP BSI sensor — same as Z6 — delivers outstanding dynamic range and clean high-ISO to about 12800. 4K 30p with full-pixel readout and N-Log gamma. Exceptional 2260-shot battery life with OVF. No IBIS.
Nikon F mount, dual SD card slots (one UHS-II). Magnesium alloy weather-sealed body. Tilting touchscreen with touch AF in live view. Wi-Fi with Bluetooth. 840g body weight.
Increasingly available as photographers migrate to Z-mount. Check shutter count — rated 200,000. Test both AF systems. Compare with Z6 II — D780 has better battery and dual SD but lacks IBIS. The D780 is the best choice for photographers who value OVF shooting.
