Key Advantages

The Nikon D780 features excellent low-light performance due to its full-frame sensor and high ISO range. It combines fast continuous shooting up to 7 fps in viewfinder mode and 12 fps in live view mode. Dual EXPEED 6 processors ensure smooth operation and advanced image processing. The hybrid autofocus system significantly improves autofocus accuracy and speed for both stills and video. 4K UHD video recording capability appeals to hybrid shooters. The camera's ergonomics, robust build, and weather sealing make it suitable for professional use in diverse environments.

Limitations

The Nikon D780’s battery life, while solid, may be shorter when using live view or video extensively compared to some competitors. The lack of a fully articulating screen limits flexibility in some shooting scenarios. Its size and weight are relatively heavy compared to mirrorless cameras with similar sensor size. The absence of in-body image stabilization may require stabilized lenses for video and low-light shooting. 4K video is limited to 30p without higher frame rate options. The price point is higher compared to entry-level full-frame models.
