Our take on the Nikon D780 Fx-Format Dslr Camera with Af-s Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G Ed Vr Lens

The D780 is Nikon's full-frame DSLR that borrows much of its autofocus and video know-how from the mirrorless Z6. It has a 24.5MP backside-illuminated sensor, a 51-point phase-detect viewfinder AF system, and on-sensor phase-detect autofocus in live view, which makes it far better than earlier Nikon DSLRs for shooting through the rear screen. The bundled AF-S 24-120mm f/4G ED VR is a versatile one-lens walkaround zoom with constant aperture and image stabilization. It suits photographers who want optical viewfinder handling, long battery life and F-mount lens compatibility, but it is heavier and bulkier than mirrorless rivals and its video and live-view autofocus trail the best current mirrorless bodies.

What reviewers say

Reviewers and owners rate the D780 highly for image quality, handling and battery life, and call it one of the best full-frame DSLRs Nikon has made. Most criticism centers on its size and weight and on autofocus in live view and video, which is good but not class-leading. The 24-120mm f/4 kit lens is generally praised as a sharp, flexible all-rounder, though some find it soft at the long end wide open.

What people mention
  • Image qualityPraisedOwners consistently praise sharp detail and clean high-ISO files from the full-frame sensor.
  • WeightCriticisedMany reviewers note the body and 24-120mm lens together are heavy for long days of carrying.
  • Battery lifePraisedShooters report getting through multi-day events on a single charge when using the viewfinder.
  • AutofocusMixedViewfinder AF is trusted for action, but live-view and video AF are called slower than mirrorless competitors.
  • VideoCriticisedReviewers point out the 4K crop and lack of 60p, limiting it for serious video work.
  • Kit lensMixedThe 24-120mm f/4 is called versatile and sharp in the middle range but softer at the long end wide open.

Questions and answers

Is the Nikon D780 worth it over a mirrorless camera?
If you want an optical viewfinder, long battery life and use of existing F-mount lenses, the D780 is a strong choice. Mirrorless bodies of similar price offer better live-view autofocus, in-body stabilization and lighter weight.
How does the D780 compare with the D750?
The D780 adds a backside-illuminated sensor, on-sensor phase-detect AF, 4K video and faster burst shooting. It keeps the D750's handling and battery life, making it a clear upgrade for stills shooters.
Does the D780 have in-body image stabilization?
No. Stabilization comes from VR lenses such as the bundled 24-120mm f/4G. That lens provides vibration reduction for handheld shooting.
What is included with this kit?
The kit pairs the D780 body with the AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens. Battery, charger and strap are typically included; check the listing for exact contents.
Can the D780 shoot 4K video?
Yes, but 4K recording uses a crop of the sensor and tops out at 30p. Full-frame width is available at 1080p.
Is the 24-120mm lens good enough for professional work?
It is a capable constant-aperture zoom with VR, well suited to events and travel. Prime lenses will be sharper and faster for critical low-light work.
Where is the Nikon D780 Fx-Format Dslr Camera with Af-s Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G Ed Vr Lens cheapest?
At Best Buy, for $2,154.79, as of our latest check.
