Compared to the Nikon D750

As compared to the previous Nikon D750, this camera body has an upgraded EXPEED 6 processor (the D750 had an EXPEED 4 processor), a BSI CMOS sensor that allows for better low-light performance (the D750 had an ISO range of 100–12,800, where the D780 has a range of 100–51,200), and a faster maximum shutter speed of 1/8000 (as compared to 1/4000 on the D750). For continuous shooting, the D780 can shoot up to 7 frames per second (fps), where the D750 was only capable of shooting up to 6.5 fps. In "live view" mode, continuous shooting up to 12 fps is possible.[1] While it does not have a built-in flash as the D750 does, nor an AF-assist lamp, it has a standard hot shoe for use with an external flash. With the switch to USB-C, the camera can recharge the EN-EL15b battery internally.[7][8] The D780 also does not have the facility to add a battery grip with portrait orientation shooting controls.[9]

Reception

DPReview calls the D780 "a DSLR that's learned a lot from mirrorless". They go on to note differences between the D750 and D780, finishing with the observation that those invested in Nikon F-mount lenses should consider this body if it meets their needs. Those not already invested in F-mount lenses should instead consider the Nikon Z 6.[10]
