Unlike its predecessor’s 1080p video capabilities at 60, 50, 30, 25 and 24p, the Nikon D780 also offers 4K shooting at 30, 25, and 24p as well as 1080p slow motion at 120p and both N-Log and HDR (HLG) recording formats for the pros. Sadly, Eye Detection and Tracking is only available in Live View, but it does a decent job, even detecting some animals’ eyes. Both have great subject tracking capabilities, but seeing as the viewfinder has limited AF coverage area, you probably would want to switch to Live View when the situation calls for it. Viewfinder shooting gives you the same 51 AF points, 15 of which are cross-type, but shooting Live View should give you 273 AF points that cover 90% of the frame. Also a marked improvement here is the RGB metering sensor – while the D750 had a 91,000-pixel one, the D780 doubles that with 180,000 pixels. Not that you’d need an ISO as high in most situations, but that’s an improvement from the D750’s 100 -12,800 (51,200 expandable). Much like the Z6, ISO sensitivity range has also improved to 100 - 51,200, which is expandable to 204,800. Though those numbers are sizeable jumps, they are still welcome improvements. It also has faster shutter speed, mechanical burst rate and electronic burst rate, with a minimum of 1/8000 seconds, 7fps and up to 12fps respectively. That’s the first of the updates from the D750. The Nikon D780 touts a similar sensor to that of the Z6, if not the very same, boasting a 24.5MP pixel count, a faster readout, and on-sensor phase detection. However, we have tested it in below 20F (below -6C) weather and even set it down on snow a couple of times, and it has worked beautifully without any issues. We didn’t get a chance to test it against rain, snow, or excessive heat. To give it that rugged build, it’s made of magnesium alloy and carbon fiber materials then extensively sealed to keep dust and moisture out. Shooting with the optical viewfinder feels better anyway, as long as you don’t mind the limited area of AF coverage. Unfortunately, the screen is also hard to see in full daylight – be prepared to squint and make good use of your hands for shade, especially when you’re shooting in Live View. Meanwhile, its tilting capabilities makes shooting at angles incredibly easy, but it can only tilt vertically, not horizontally, which would have been helpful when shooting in portrait mode. It’s plenty sharp with a touchscreen functionality that works accurately. The 3.2-inch LCD display is an articulating touchscreen.
