Pros: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - SLR + Mirrorless (plus all the usual Nikon pros - ergonomics, robustness etc etc etc)

Cons: The price for sure, but as a Corps it is difficult to find real cons...

Opinion: More than a review, I will tell a little about my story with her. Coming from a D3300, which I was starting to feel tight for a bit of everything (single bezel, iso hold, general speed...) the jump was decidedly quantum; to tell the truth, I had stopped a Z6 II, but after having it in my hands and taking two empty shots in the store, I said to myself "ok, I think I'll stop photographing". In the midst of all the praise of the seller for selling it to me at any cost, a gentleman there in the shop who had witnessed the scene asks me "try to see a D780, from the way it speaks it is the one really for you". FOREVER GRATEFUL. Want the optical viewfinder? He has it. Want full-frame AF? He has it. Do you want a preview of the exhibition? He has it... and then focus stacking, AF + touch shutter release, a thousand customizable buttons around the body ... It gives me a pleasure in using it that is bordering on addiction, sometimes I find myself throwing the Fifty on it and taking a couple of random photos just for the pleasure of having it in my hands. Currently, the only huge limit that the car has is me. I think it has really been mistreated by Nikon, which to complete the conversion to Mirrorless of its factories, has put it up for sale at an unaffordable price, effectively burying the project. Probably with a little more foresight and a slightly more affordable price, a possible updated series (let's say D780 II / III etc.) in my opinion would have sold in spades, perhaps going to keep many people who had respectable F-mount kits, and who in the transition to Mirrorless have changed brand also considering the semi-closure of the Z-Mount towards third-party lenses. A real shame, a wasted opportunity.

Pros: It's a wonderful camera. The photos are beautiful. It's like it's period: if you don't like patience, buy another one.

Cons: It is the unique, ingenious and most underrated hybrid SLR camera in history. Because it came out in the Mirrorless era.

Opinion: It is a camera that gives great satisfaction. His shots are real without any interference from AI, as mirrorless do. The real limit of it are its users because in fact the only thing you can't do with it is coffee. It's fast, reliable, incredible battery life, beautiful colors. It has been criticized by many because it does not have the predisposition for the battery grip but I wonder what you do with it if with a battery you make over 2200 shots. It gives you that peace of mind that with a mirrorless, unless you go on bodies like Z8 or Z9 you won't be able to have. You can put all Nikon f-mount lenses in it without any problems.

Pros: Reflex with (also) a Mirrorless soul.

Cons: Sensor not stabilized. Price a bit high since the presentation.

Opinion: He has been with me for more than a year after making the nonconformist and unconventional choice to buy a Reflex in a world devoted to Mirrorless which, without a doubt, will be the future of photography (smartphones with AI permitting). Too bad that Nikon did not continue with this hybrid genre and that the camera was "snubbed" by the market without obtaining the deserved commercial success due to Mirrorless hysteria (and a bit high list price). For me she is "the last of the Mohicans", a Reflex lady with perfect aesthetic proportions. The D780 is beautiful, damn beautiful to hold in the hand or, simply, to look at from the outside much more than the Mirrorless Z. It's a respectable semi-professional camera even today... Strengths? Reflex ergonomics, reflex optical viewfinder, reflex philosophical setting that winks at modern mirrorless features in live view... in short, I like it, for the Mirrorless (real) super hi-tech there is time...

Pros: Ease of use, Responsive live view,

Cons: perhaps the weight, screen not very adjustable

Opinion: I considered the purchase of this reflex a lot, I was undecided whether to play it safe with classic reflex cameras after having D3100 and D7200 or take the leap and take the Z6, I opted for the D780 because having all F mount lenses the investment would have been too expensive. A good choice, I'm really satisfied, with a charged battery I made it easy to marry 1800 raw shots and as many medium format jpegs, the double slot for the memory card is really useful. Super responsive live view, the only sore point is the poorly adjustable screen, it would have been much more comfortable if it could also be oriented sideways.
