The Nikon D780 is a versatile and powerful digital SLR camera in a class of its own.
The robust D780 offers a fast hybrid AF system specifically for Live View shooting and a fast, powerful autofocus system with phase detection and 51 points for photography through the optical viewfinder. When shooting in Live View, photographers and filmmakers benefit from the same AF system as the outstanding mirrorless system camera Nikon Z 6 mirrorless system camera. With eye AF, the expression of history can be captured perfectly and the "low-light autofocus" ensures reliable subject recognition down to a light value of -6 EV. Photographers using the optical viewfinder benefit from unique subject tracking and fast switching between advanced AF modes.
Thanks to high continuous shooting rates, this camera is even more versatile: it offers up to 7 fps when shooting with the viewfinder and up to 12 fps in silent release mode when shooting in Live View - both with tracking metering and AF. Another remarkable feature is the very fast shutter speed of 1/8000 s, which allows even fast-moving subjects to be captured sharply. By extending the exposure time to up to 900 s, fascinating light trails and night landscapes can also be shown to their best advantage.
Videographers can record film material in outstanding quality with the D780. With the image sensor and its increased resolution of 6K, the camera produces excellent 4K/UHD footage at 30p/25p/24p without cropping. Videographers can also record HLG HDR footage with high information density on an external video recorder and display it directly on a compatible TV or monitor.
The fast autofocus system with phase detection and 51 focusing areas offers a sensitivity of up to -3 EV. Photographers also benefit from top-class subject tracking and fast switching between advanced AF modes.
The hybrid AF system with 273 points works with a sensitivity of up to -4 EV or up to -6 EV in low light autofocus mode. Eye AF is available for taking photos.
Up to 7 fps can be captured with AF/AE or up to 12 fps in "Silent Live View Shutter Release" mode. Shots in RAW format are also recorded in full resolution.
The optical viewfinder with a magnification factor of 0.70 offers a large field of view and 100% coverage. The tilting LCD monitor with 2.359 million pixels enables both autofocus operation and triggering via touch function.
Compatible with lenses with F bayonet mount. CMOS full-frame sensor with 24.5 MP. EXPEED 6 image processor. 180,000 pixel RGB sensor and advanced scene recognition system, inherited from the D850.
The D780 offers a wider ISO range than the first-class D850. The range extends from ISO 100 to 51 200 and can be extended up to 204 800 and ISO 50.
High-resolution 4K/UHD film material can be recorded at 30p/25p/24p without cropping. In addition to internal recording on an SD memory card, external recording with 10 BIT N-Log and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) is also available for output.
Internal time-lapse function. 2 MP photos at an impressive 120 fps. In-camera digitization menu. And much more.
The camera's high-speed data transfer function and wireless connectivity make it easy to transfer images. Thanks to SnapBridge, users can share JPEGs and RAW files with any smart device.
Thanks to two SD card slots, the storage capacity can be expanded or the second card can be used as an in-camera backup.
Compact, versatile 5x Zoom lens for digital Nikon SLR cameras with FX format image sensor. With strong optical performance features, constant speed of 1:4 and a versatile focal length range from 24 to 120 mm.
The second generation of the Nikon image stabilizer system delivers sharp results even in low ambient light by allowing exposure times of up to four f-stops longer. The Nikon nanocrystal coating effectively reduces ghost images and stray light.
The lens housing is largely made of magnesium and components manufactured from heat-resistant technical plastic. It is therefore particularly hard-wearing and ideally equipped for intensive use. Thanks to the rubber seals around the switch and bayonet, it can even be used in damp or dusty environments without any problems.
Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 200-500mm f5.6E ED VR
Powerful telephoto zoom lens with long range. With a focal length range of 200 to 500mm and a continuous aperture of f/5.6, this FX format lens opens up an extended level of versatility in super telephoto photography.
Whether shooting wildlife, birds, airplanes or action-packed sporting events, this lens delivers consistent performance. The focal length range of 200 to 500 mm gives the photographer an exceptional range. The constant speed of 1:5.6 enables consistent exposure times when photographing the same subject with different focal lengths. Nikon's effective image stabilizer allows blur-free shots with up to 4.5 EV longer exposure times. The "SPORT" VR mode ensures a stable viewfinder image when tracking fast subject movements. The electromagnetic aperture control has the advantage of greater exposure consistency, especially for fast continuous shooting.
