Thanks for watching! Down the line I will most likely make an update on this camera once I use it more and get more familiar! To give some clarity on the first clip. That was the first sequence I made with this setup to test in low light. Window light being the main light source and no de-noiser was used.
Cheers mate, good vid and as a Nikon person as well you hit the nail on the head with the bridge comment. This bad boy is on my list after this summer's wedding season (this is what happens with you have a baby BTW, I'm not allowed to get things in advance anymore I actually have to earn before I buy it 😂). Can't wait to get my hands on it though
It's an amazing camera. Can't praise it enough. One aspect that is often overlooked is the ergonomic aspects in the sense that it's really comfortable and easy to use. Also when shooting in low light, this is one of the best, if not the best cameras out there.
Dope video man. I can really respect that you don't "go with the trends" when it comes to gear. You stick with what works for you and find a way to make the minor flaws not a huge issue for your creativity. Keep grindin' brotha. I think you're dope.
Wow thanks for their comment, stuff like this keeps me motivated 🙏 thanks for supporting the channel!
Wow, like dope comment, and I mean Dope! 🙄😁😂
Pure relaxing intro. I've been following you for maybe 3 yrs now and love your work. Bises de France
Good video. Good rundown of the features and issues. No annoying background music or antics.
Thanks for making a video on the D780 without all the buy a Canon, buy a Sony, et al stuff. This has got to be one of the best D780 reviews!
this is why i subscribed to your channel, being honest with everything, unlike the other camera review channels that tells only the disadvantage of the camera and compares it to their sponsored brand
I really enjoy your videos, the calm way you speak, how you deploy the subject and the advice you share with us... I don't know if the jogging is responsible of that relax style you have... but you worth many congratulations !
Haha honestly I’m not sure! I try my best to just talk like I’m having a thought out conversation and less of a “performance” if that makes sense. I don’t always do the best job but It’s what I strive for. Really appreciate the comment and you watching!
Love this video man! Great work! What you're saying totally makes sense, I completely agree that this camera is a perfect DSLR to Mirrorless transition camera. I'm currently rocking the Z6 with an atomos ninja 5, and I have never had so much fun with a camera before!🔥🔥 Also you have to do a video color grading breakdown at some point, because that grade is amazing!! Cheers man, keep it up!👍🏻🔥
Tamron SP lenses could solve your focus noise issue. They're super sharp and fast focusing, and very reasonable for pro-level lenses. I recommend giving them a try!
Never buy tamron g2 it s very sensitive and if u hit that normally hard it well not focus and u can t repair tamron lenses
@@direxmedia really? You’re Serious?
I love seeing these balanced videos that acknowledge the weaknesses and the strengths without feeling like you have to jump on the Sony bandwagon. Some of us have a rather significant investment in Nikon glass and cameras that making any kind of switch problematic. If they can do everything I need why would I switch anyway? Loving both my Z6 and my D850 - it's the perfect combination for me :) Thanks for putting this out there!
After two years of trying to use Sony I'm very glad to be back to Nikon!
I liked that move . Could you highlight the major reasons for the switch ? I'd like to understand the usecases basis which you made the decision to switch to Nikon
I have a Sony A7 iii and hate the size. I have big hands and the smaller mirror less cameras just feel too small. The menu system on the Sony is also pretty complex compared to Nikon. Thinking about going back to D850.
yes sir currently selling my A9 looking and got a Nikon d5, mind you I don't do any video; ergonomics are to small for my taste and the menu isn't user friendly
Thanks for making this video. This is the first video that thoroughly examines the D780 for video recording.
Thanks for sharing.... I started with a D70s & then a D7100 & now I have and use D500...as a hobbyist I am happy with the results....haven't considered upgrading to full frame or mirror less.... Cheers..
Mateeeeeeee.. Cant even put in to words how jealous I am of you right now. Thanks for sharing this, really useful and nice wee intro too. keep up the good work mate :)
Loved it man, the insight is awesome!
Yeah, biggest downside of the F mount lenses is that AF noise. And I must say that the focussing of a z lens goes much smoother, doesn't focus so rapidly.
great video Evan! love the footage
Quiet focusing: Nikon has the Af-p series, that does have smooth, silent autofocus even with contrast based cameras. But, its slow to find and focus (in video), cheap lenses (10-20, 18-55 and 70-300). It works ok, but you will miss some shots etc. Dont use Nikon for video any more.
very informative , enjoyed watching and listing your observation.
Really good video as always. Love how you stay true to efficiency over trend. By the way, what's that monitor mount?
Thanks!! It’s a top down one that I had from a previous monitor to use during testing. I have a manfrotto hot shoe mount coming in the mail though and that’s what I will use mainly 👍
Well done! Like the consious decisions you take regarding your business and not just follow everybody else.
Hi Evan. It's August 2024 and after an agonisingly long search and decision-making process I bought the D780. It's not arrived yet, it will be here next week. So why did I buy it? Well, I've been a NIkon shooter since 2007. Over the years I've accumulated dozens of lenses, including a few expensive super telephoto lenses. I had a few affairs with Canon and Fuji, with my latest GFX50SII bound to become my all-time favorite for travel, landscapes and reportage. But Nikon has always been a prevailing system in my life and it continues to be one. With time passing I developed a growing need to step into the realm of video. And I also needed a backup for my ageing D750 (which is in pristine condition BTW, but lacks good video features). So I decided for the D750 to be my backup, but not for the GFX, but for another Nikon. I initially opted for the Z6II, not the Z6III since its "new" features IMHO do not justify the big price difference and the upgrade from the Z6II altogether. The infancy issues with this camera are just another argument against spending so much for a body and a kit glass. I knew about the D780, but I completely ignored it, since I "knew" (or so I thought) that it being a DSLR means it's worthless for video. I was just planing to put my entire F-mount glass fleet up for sale when I watched a video on YT where a guy said the D780 is a hybrid of both worlds - the DSLR and mirrorless. So I did some more reading and studied the topic. To my surprise, I found the solution. By buying the D780 I'm gonna have a great backup for my D750 (my wife who often times works with me on photoshoots) will be able to use the camera no problem because she got used to the D750 (that's yet another great thing about Nikon). But most importantly, I'm not gonna have to sell my lenses, or keep them, get the Z6II and fiddle around with the FTZ adapter (which adds more bulk, length, looks dumb, and doesn't improve on anything really). For the purpose of shooting videos, I bought an entire rig for the D780, including the follow focus, monitor, matte box, battery, mic, LED light and other stuff. And I know it was a great decision, and that I'm gonna be happy to use it for years to come.
Awesome video dude, love to hear the honest truth for those of us riding with Nikon. Definitely not the most popular avenue to go down. Also, you should check out the Kodiak Waffles!
I have a hard time watching the few youtubers who continuously "dog" on Nikon. I appreciate you staying true to what you enjoy using and not jumping on some trend bandwagon. Nikon life for me too!
Great video my friend! I definitely agree with you, I am still shooting with a d700 with a 24-70 f2.8 afs!
Hi Evan !! thanks for sharing your knowledge regarding the D780. Looks like the best option for an upgrade right now. Even more if you are a Nikon user. Could you explain how to improve color in video as you showed in this video? thanks !!
Hey man I been digging your channel for awhile now. Aspiring photographer here, just wondering do you really leave your camara gear out on a shelf like that? I have seen a few others do it and I'm thinking am I the only one who still keeps it in the bag! Lol. Great work thx for sharing✌
Love the support for the big ATL, being from Atlanta myself. Inspiring work. Seems like the D780 is like a D700 (x2 sensor AND screew type focus) and a Z6 (w/o IBIS) combined. Would be a nice addition to my collection. However, just invested in a Z6. There's a D780 in my future for sure.
With old Nikkor lenses you could take them apart and remove the little spring that makes those clicks, put it back together and the clicks were gone.
Been waiting to see your opinions on this camera. Great vid
Definitely been curious about this camera, I use my D700 as my main photography camera but I like that this is best of both worlds with photo and video!
Have you bought it in the meantime? I'm also I D700 user, and I really want to upgrade it because I'd like to have more megapixels and better low light performance, and also maybe experiment with making videos. The D780 seems like the best camera Nikon has for me, but I'm just not sure if it's worth the upgrade since the D700 is still amazing.
A small external mike with a little springy mount make a big difference, the onboard mike should only be used for emergencies.

I started with a D70! Wish i still had it, I replaced with a D80, then acquired a D7100 last year which is hella good.
I had D7100 it was a lovely camera!
Switched to D4 a few years ago and now I'm thinking about d780
I have a D 70 you can have if you want it
I have a Z6 now!
Great video, I Owned a lot of Nikon Cameras and I have been allways adopting what they are releasing as tech changes, like when they released the D800, I owned, and worked with it but with some room for improvement, I owned also the D810 that I think is what the D800 should have been, but now for me that I'm entering more and more on the video side, the Z system I have to say is far superior in almost every aspect, I own Z mount lenses and they are incredible, they are crazy sharp, can handle better low light, IBIS on the camera, etc it's just a superior tech, that beeing said I also mantain a brand new D750, I love what that camera make's me feel when I'm shooting with it, it just make me happy, so I totaly understand you why the D780 will be perfect solution for you! great content, I hope you come up with some tutorials, for example how to manual focus with your dslr, etc. Best
This video made me feel great about my purchase thank you for making this. 😁
Thanks for putting the features and flaws in a intelligent perspective!
If your camera does whatever you need it to do it doesn't matter if it's a 5 year old camera. people should only upgrade when the camera is limiting their creativity. SO TRUE
Good morning! It's morning when I watch this 😉
Very relevant reflections. In this age of smartphone images and video clips, I find it somewhat puzzling that quite a few comments here teach us that if you are going to shoot video, get equipment optimized for that. I missed the most important point with hybrid for me: On-chip PDAF is often necessary to utilize the resolution power of recent primes, like the Sigma 135/1.8 A.
dope man. quick question, what site would you recommend for high quality prints and frames?
Beautiful colors! I also have a d810, but I have never achieved a color grade such yours. Can you use the same color grading for d810's flat profile (internal recording) and for d780's external N-log recording? Anyway, N-log is available only for external recording in d780? Was color grading made in Premiere Pro? I would be very curious for that adjustment settings :)
Can't bullshit Evan Ranft when it comes to camera's/photography. Great video explaining why this camera is needed and I don't even own a single piece of Nikon gear xD
Looking forward to checking out more of your content.
Shoot D850 and D750 now. Thinking toward D780 simply for the BSI 24mpx sensor over the standard CMOS on the 750 AND (more importantly) the higher resolution Live View screen. I was fine with the 750's screen until I bought my 850 and the accuracy difference was massive. Older guy (eyes) that is strictly a photographer so the video perks are meh to me. The better possibilities in low light that the BSI offers also intrigue me. I'd like to see a comparison of the low light differences between the 750 and 780 just to see if it would be worth it. I would have gone Z series IF Nikon hadn't abandoned the ability to photograph and autofocus with the large array of AF-D glass I own. They don't offer anything like the 180mm f2.8 AF-D or the 135mm f2 DC AF-D in Z mount glass.

Just discovered you after watching a Taylor Jackson vlog. Happy to follow your work and journey. AND .... shout out to Atlanta Braves, dope hat.
As a sony enthusiast, I'm very pleased of this review. I will probably give my a7iii to my gf and buy something different like the D780.
Im selling the A73 to get the D780/850 need to decide.
great job man keep it up!
Was just about to sleep, but my sleep can wait for 11 more minutes lol. Love from India and more power to you ❤️🔥
You’re the truth for that, thank you for watching! 🙏
I loved this video. I am a nikon user have a d5600, not super heavily invested but yeah I'm not looking to be jumping ships, pocket can't afford it 😂, but good to hear and honest opinion. Looks like I have good options for the future.
Nice video! I’m a Nikon guy and I love this
Does the Display of the D780 stay on in Liveview when the external recorder is attached? Most of the dsrls I used turned the Display off when they are connected to hdmi but mirrorless cameras keep the Display on. What about the hybrid d780?
Thanks for this interesting review!
The footage looks dope. Every system has its issues. I recently added a Z6 to my D810. I went full Full Fuji in between and traded my d600 in for the a7iii last April but I’m having a hard time letting go of Nikon (and Fuji now). Truth is everything makes amazing output these days. The Z glass is crazy good.
Speaking as a UA-camr who also does his talking head segments with a Braves cap on, Chop On!
Great review despite being 3 years old, I use my D500 in a similar way. Nikon's 780 is it's last consumer DSLR most likely, and can take great photo's and decent video's, on my 500 I use a 17-55 2.8 DX lens, it's amazing but no VR, but t's quiet! My buddy uses a manual focus lens with his 850 for video and its great, but noisy lenses is a Nikon issue.
Nice video I moved to the D780 too for part of same reason you did in a way. I’m just novice camera guy using the Nikon .
I need help trying to learn to use the flash . Need help from some body.
How is adapted/adapting glass on Nikon? I’ve always adapted EF glass to my m50, and never had any issues, but I hear Nikon and Sony have had trouble with adapting other brands glass
One important question.
If we record with an external mic, will we still have that focusing noise problem?
Can we use the mic on top of the camera? Or it'll still catch that noise too?
Hello I would like to say that that D780 hybrid *(dslr/mirrorless)*
Understand that at the end of the day it's meant for Photography.
Video Camera like Panasonic AG-CX350, Sony PXW-Z280,Blackmagic Design, RED that are meant for video. Two different categories.
Finally got a video what I actually looking for ❤❤❤❤
Good review...although I'm not sure its fair to ding it a point for it being a DSLR, and being heavy... It's sort of in its nature as a full frame DSLR. Also, regarding extra costs for the Atmos and external recording, I don't think any other full frame DSLR will give you these features or allow you to record log internally natively. I think the reason why Nikon took so long to put out these features is the same reason they never released lenses with a silent motor. It seems they have purposely catered to their core customer base of pro photographers, and any that use these DSLRs for video are professionals that have external recorders, pull their focus manually, record audio externally etc.
Loved the video. Dope Sinn btw...
I am a old Nikon use , I have of lots old film glass and I haven't gone DSLR - now with things changing to mirrorless I have been hung up on what to go with. I love stills and want to dabble in video and I love low light. Price isn't an issue for me. I don't know if I should go D750 D780, D810, D850 or Z 6 or Z7 - Watching this was very useful and now has me leaning off the D850 (45px) to D780. Any suggestions or advise?
Im just diving into video for my channel, because I’m a wedding photography first, I use my Nikon d750s and all my lenses because why not? I am super interested in upgrading to the d780, this might be a dumb question, but I have a rode external mic (not on camera) since the transmitter will be on my at all times, Would it pick up the autofocus sound from the lens?
Yo Evan! I’d love to see a lowlight comparison video with the D750. I have not been able to find any comparisons online. The D750
was a great lowlight camera which made it great for concert photography. I’d love to see what the D780 can do.
Spoiler, the color and black level holds up much better at 6400+.
@@runcmd1419 Ici ! ua-cam.com/video/IB_q2M1qOys/v-deo.html
Do you know if you get the same autofocus hunting noise using other lens brands like Tamron and sigma? I was stoked when I saw this video but that sound really kills video. Thank you
Thanks for your thoughts & opinions on the new nikon 760 camera it is a nice camera & the flaws you right not that bad a die hard Nikon fan & supporters ride with them hard i also was wondering if you could would you upgrade to the Nikon D850 from the Nikon D810 camera
Great review. As a D750 shooter, the deal breaker for me is no battery grip. My photography consists of “stills” only as a portrait photographer; so, the video aspect doesn’t excite me to upgrade. The D750 is a beast for portraits, especially with a Nikon battery grip,
Get the Nikon D850, you can get it for about the same price and the autofocus color and sensor are far ahead of the D750
I'm going save up for this one for sure ,
AF upgrade is about on par with d850 (though with a smaller number and spread for AF points). That and the improved live view make it more than enough of an upgrade for me.
Does the older G lenses autofocus better (quicker/smoother) on D780 than the Z6 with FTZ adapter? Because that'd make 780 a clear winner for me. The S lenses are parfocal and have STM motors but they lack true manual focus rings and are very expensive for eg. 24mm S Lens is 2x more expensive than the 24mm G lens.
I must say it’s pretty bold to be a UA-camr shooting DSLR still in 2020.
Single card slot isnt a big deal for me but i do get nervous when im shooting a wedding. I only shoot single card when its a short shoot but i use my dual on my 5d mark iii weddings or other all day events
Have a 610 and a z5...I'm really eying up the 780, I love the 24mp file size and it seems worthwhile getting this over a second hand 750. Can anyone comment on this theory, or should I man up and spend the little extra on the d850 and deal with the larger files and what not
Muito bom o seu video, parabéns isso me ajudou muito!
It's a camera that has me excited. Finally getting autofocus that keeps up with Canon's dual pixel system!!!!! I too have been a Nikon shooter for a long time. It's a camera I'm saving for.
It’s a really big improvement for sure! In my option canon still does a better job with autofocus, but it’s a step in the right direction for Nikon users!
@@RanftEvan I'm just glad to see it. I figured the AF-S lenses would make noise with an on board mike. Maybe they will expand the AF-P line up so we will have silent focusing lenses. It still sounds like a major step up!!
Its got no joystick which is absolutely ridiculous. That is going to cost Nikon so many sales. No wonder theyre going broke.
@@markrigg6623 I've got camera bodies with and without the joystick. It has never bothered me to use the d pad. In live view touch to focus is faster.
@@bigfatphotoguy3146 yeah that's fair enough but the majority would expect it.
Great review bro. I've been waiting on Nikon to do something so I don't have to go to Sony for video world. Still giving Nikon a few more months for updates and etc....I too have invested into Nikon and DO NOT. want to go through buying new lenses and systems and so forth.
does it also firmware updated like z6 before you can use atomos ninja v?
is the noise of autofocus on video still noticeable when using external mic?
I have the older dx and d lens. I understand that some will not work on the Z 6or 7 So maybe this will be a good thing. I do landscapes, planes, trains and automobiles. Best idea is to rent it.
Switching up the music! I like the vibes👊🏼
Have you tested af-d lenses video AF performance on th 780? Apart from motor noise does the face CAF work as well as the AFS lenses?
I am really interested in getting into sports photography and maybe trading in my D7100. I don’t have any fancy lenses so I would have no sense of abandonment if I left behind my kit F-mount and my 35mm lenses for a Z6. It also helps that the Z6 is slightly cheaper than the D780. But then if I were to buy a Z lens 70-200 for sports / general use, it costs sooooo much more money than the F mount counterpart. The mirrorless lens prices are really killer for a Joe Schmoe like me. Wondering which direction I should go? I really wanna take getting into sports photography seriously, and I’ve been thinking about getting off of DX for a long while, but is there any benefit to being on a mirrorless for this line of work or should I save my money and learn on the D780 and ride out the DSLR wave?
Not to mention that Nikon is offering up to $400 CAD in any trade in towards a D780 on top of the value for the camera. Not sure how much my D7100 is worth but maybe that’s like $900 off. All things that are jumping around in my mind.
Could you please tell me if this camera will do video with continuous autofocus (AF-F) with old af-d lenses? thank you a lot
Did you shot in Flat?
How did you manage to Color grade?
Could you please upload a video about color grading in Nikon ?
Thank You :)
as i do really respect your photography knowledge Evan . what would you pick for still photography . i dont do video .
sony a7iii fuji xt3 nikon z6 or cannon eos r ?
The canon or Nikon in my opinion 👍
@@RanftEvan thanks a lot . Have a beautiful week
Thumbs up! This seems like the perfect hybrid camera. How is the video without using the atomos?
Can’t say it’s completely perfect but I’m really enjoying it so far!
@@RanftEvan I dont think there is a perfect camera. My eos r has its flaws as well.
there isn't many, but there are a few F mount (SWM) Silent wave motor nikon lenses that are actually quiet.
Where did you get the print behind your head done? Also what medium is it on?
Not trying to knock anyone's personal decisions, but to me there's only two reasons to even consider the D780 over a Z6 right now.
1. Second card slot
2. Autofocus for action
Aside from those two things, the Z6+FTZ delivers everything the D780 does, while also obviously delivering a new lens mount that improves video performance immensely. It isn't just the focus noise on the F-Mount lenses, it's also how they rack focus. Even on the Z6, it's a jump to focus, instead of a smooth rack. The Z6 is also obviously cheaper at this point.
Actually, now that I think about it, there is one other thing the D780 currently has over the Z6- HLG profile for video. Any chance we can get a video on how that looks?
New subscriber from South Africa 🇿🇦 Nikon favorite
evan- as always, a thoughtful and informative vid. as a nikon user, i'm still thrilled with my D750. that said, i can see the value of the Z series. one question: if you used the D810 for this 1080p vid, what lens did you use? and i assume manual focus! thanks for the effort and sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Well you even hear the AF noise with in camera mics with every Sony Mirrorless too! Not using an external mic is also pretty unprofessional, so nothing I would recommend anyway, but for the fact that all the cameras have that issue it is not a minus point for the D780 at all in my opinion.
Nikon gang forever ! in my opinion i love the 780, but i feel as if i can wait on upgrading from a 750. Nonetheless a beautiful camera and very glad Nikon has released this.
D750 is an amazing camera. So if you want to upgrade, better wait for sometime. I believe the D900 is also expected soon
I currently have the D5300 and am about to jump to full frame. Would you recommend this one as a good start or should I look into the 810 or 850? I do mainly stills but am working on learning the video side as well. Thanks
I am a D5500 user and I do mostly landscape and street photography. After a thorough research, I decided to get a D780. (D850 is beyond my budget). I'll be buying it next week.
Milan Henegamage that’s awesome. I have done research and pretty sure I am going the same route as you. Thanks for your comment
I am a retiring Videographer and event photographer, I will be loosing the company D610 and a Panasonic Ag160. I want to continue shooting freelance and purchased a few decent Nikon lenses, but will need to shoot hybrid. I have bee considering the Z6 but do not like the fact that it has one card port and does not have IBIS like the Sony and GH5. Should I get a used D750 and look for a used GH5 and wait for Nikon to improve the Z6 or jump to the Z6? What do you think?
I always hit that thumb before I start the video! 🤙🏽
Real MVP, thanks for watching and supporting the channel 💯
Is this 21.5 inch iMac? Is it big enough for you? Sorry for the off topic
Does anyone knows if i can pair Bluetooth headphones with d780 directly with cameras Bluetooth? Thank you
How often are you using the D780 for stills compared to your D810?
