“When you’re shooting a triple wedding weekend”
I’m struggling to shoot a triple wedding year...
Christopher O'Grady lol Gotta love humblebrags
Christopher O'Grady , I know how you feel. Missing that used cars salesman talent myself to get successful into this business. Shooting perfect images isn’t the point of the story. You must be able to sell yourself, I unfortunately can’t.
@@rolandrickphotography the futur or chris do in youtube, he tells you how to self yourself as a salesman :)
Genti Zarari , impossible. You must be born with that. I don’t have one atom of it in my genes 🧬. It’s like Michael Schuhmacher and Willi Weber. One has been driving F1 cars, the other doing an awesome business. I need a business partner like Willi has been to Michael (prior to his tragic skiing accident).
It's fascinating to me how. People who are good at one thing seem to have another missing part. It's like the really good mechanic who can't drive a race car. Or the really smart mathematician who can't teach a college class. Or the number one sales person in a car dealership that no one likes who works there.
Always look forward to your clips a lot of great info every time
always good to hear the real world experiences of a professional, love your channel Taylor
Thank you Taylor, learning a lot especially posing subjects. Keep 'em coming!☺️
I still remember the days when you waited 10 seconds for a camera to boot, and they used too much power to just leave on. I started shooting with a JVC camcorder because it had a great autofocus, and sleep mode. Close screen, sleep, open, take photo. Oh, things have changed. Great video, to the point, love that.
Thank you for your video about your experience so far with the D780! Did you do any stills shooting with the LCD screen? I'm curious about your experience with that, as one feature I like on mirrorless is being able to use a silent shutter (especially during the ceremony of a wedding, or during performances where shutter noise would be too intrusive).
I also got the d780 as my main camera for weddings, after selling the d5. Now my wedding set up is d780 with Nikkor 24-70 2.8 and z6 with Tamron 70-200 2.8. The main reason for me was the dual card slot.
Do you like the z6
Hmmmm this very helpful you know, i want to compare between canon 80D and 90D for landscape photography just like this, thank you taylor for the video😀
Great video! Would you be able to comment on the viewfinder AF performance of the D780 compared to the older D750 or even the D800/D810? Is it noticeably better in low light and with tracking fast moving human subjects? Thanks!
Great video as always Taylor
I have been going back and forth over these two cameras for days! I am looking to do a big upgrade from my baby d3500 and this video sealed the deal for me. I have my first TWO weddings this spring and summer and cant wait to upgrade. Thank you so much!
did you upgrade to the d780? if so, how are you liking it?!
Just in time for Covid.
Yay Taylor! Finally, a review giving a fair chance to the 780! I got one the day it was released and totally agree with your initial thoughts! I, too, love the ovf and reliability of a DSLR af system, and to have the mirrorless features on the lcd just totally rocks my world! Looking forward to your in-depth video on it!
The build quality is awful tho
Have you tried doing a hybrid wedding with the Z 35/85? I’m curious because I’m going this route for an upcoming wedding next month. Too bad the d780 didn’t come out before I needed to switch, I miss having a heavier camera.
Excellent video Taylor!
Superstar! Thanks buddy. I want to start shooting both video and photos in 2020. You have just convinced me to buy the D780. Been checking some other reviews on the D780 and the video capabilities are off the hook!
The video i wanted to see thanks so much!
This is so encouraging and understanding 😆
What 35mm lens with image stabilization are you using? 😀 Great review btw!
Nice fast review! Good to see the buffer being improve on the D780 serie. I have the D810 (I used a D750 in the past and I miss the grip of this body..)
Hey Taylor - The only thing that held me back from picking up a D750 was the buffer. How is the buffer for the 780?
When shooting with the OVF is the AF selection the same as the D750? I didn't see an af selector or videos talking about if it was an on screen touch and drag af like on the EOS R.
Thank Taylor! It was great information, and I have a quick simple question, so how you feel about autofocus system on Nikon d780 today on March 2 2021? Please, please tell your feeling about it.
Thank you.
Always love this channel
Amazing work bro👊👊👏👏
Would love to see some behind the scenes of the hybrid D780
great review 🙌
Since you use a D850 most of the time, I'm curious how you found the autofocus through the viewfinder. Nikon is advertising the "D5 algorithm" in the D780 even though it has the older AF module (and coverage) of the D750, and I'm wondering how you think the viewfinder AF compares to the D850, which has both the bigger coverage area and the D5 generation algorithm. Thoughts on AF through the OVF? Also, if you like the 85 f/1.4g, why not use it on the adapter with the Z6?
Matthew Wells one card slot keeps me from using the Z series on a wedding day. AF will need proper full day in the field testing before I can comment on it. Overall I was happy with AF on my D750 so I couldn’t see it being worse
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto So if it did have redundant memory, you'd be good to go with the Z?
Finally a wedding pros perspective! Thanks dude! Nice to hear instead of all the other “reviews” lamenting it being like a z6 therefore may as well buy a z6. Amazing how so many reviewers aren’t actual pro shooters and thus don’t see the real life draw of all day battery life, two card slots, solid low light focusing and the no lag optical viewfinder for those unpredictable wedding day moments that could otherwise be missed on a mirrorless with their EVF and second long wake up time 🤘🏼
An OVF and insane battery life are the main reasons I'm sticking with DSLRs!
Osase Noma-Owens indeed! I wanted to love the Z6 for shooting weddings but until they can get that evf lag down I’m still on the dslr train.
@@kennebatch For me, it's more than that. I like to have a natural perspective of a scene before I shoot, and no EVF can beat my eyesight, so an OVF is very important to me.
Keep hustling greetings from macedonia ❤️
Hi Taylor, thank u for the review! Was wondering about the difference in megapixels... do you see/feel that there’s a difference between the two?
I shoot on medium raw on the d850 for weddings. No reason to go bigger
Hi, fantastic down to earth approach as usual. Just a query, I've watched several of your videos now and you seem to put a lot of emphasis on changing the white balance througout the day. Usually, this is the only thing I leave on Auto A on my Nikon's (one less thing to worry about) and then adjust in Lightroom afterwards. My logic behind it, is the fact the camera would only be post processing the original Raw image data in camera anyway. Is my logic wrong, or have I missed the point some where in my photo skills? Or does it just come down to personal preference?
Harvy Mckiernan setting white balance manually just speeds up post production. For video it is really important though as you’re pretty much just editing a jpg and can’t change the white balance nearly as well
Another Great Video💥🔥
Hi Taylor, why don't you use Z6 in this case (with a smaller body, IBIS, same sensor and cheaper price), is it because of one card slot, ergonomics, controls?
Andrey Verdy just the one card slot
I love to know more about cameras , Great video !
I'm very curious on the hybrid coverage. Wouldn't it be possible to take a video while capturing a image using the shutter button? Wouldn't that be another way to do hybird coverage during wedding?
I prefer to separate the processes a little bit. I also don’t believe you’d get raw files shooting images while recording video, you’d just get the 1920x1080 frame in jpg
Great video. I really want one of these. But my D750 and D500 are doing their jobs so well and it takes me forever to get something new.
In my opinion the only people who need to look at new equipment are those who have none.
@@Agm1995gamer thats what i did
@Man in Dandism There is work going on with sensors and processors to get to the point where crop sensor and micro four thirds cameras have better to even good low light capability, but, then of course the full frame camera sensor and processor combinations will be even better yet. It appears to me that the megapixels and low light capability of the of the D5 and 1Dx Mark II were "good enough" for practical indoor sports use. If crop sensor and even crazy to say micro four thirds with the future mythical OMsystem "WOW" camera can reach that level of low light capability with D500 or dare I say Olympus M1 Mark II level autofocus, with planes, trains, and automobile tracking, with GH5 level video, then that camera. Will. Take. Over. The. World.
Why do nikon put the quality button on the back there, ive had times in the heat of the moment ive changed it, grr
So would u say the d780 is better then the z5 in image quality?
Taylor,what lenses do you prefer for your Photo & Video?????????
Good to see you back..Might consider the D780 :)
What is your card setup and what camera did you test on the Sony side? The newest models reach the exact same buffer clearing speeds as the XQD cards in Nikon so I don't really know where the problem lies
MegaWeitzel A9, a73, A7r iv. They’re all slower than anything current nikon, canon or Fuji sadly. It’s a weird spec that not a lot of people care about, so it’s probably intentionally overlooked to get more battery life
Thank you so much for the great video
I want to know more about its video features like Object tracking and how well that works! Does this camera good for film makers? Please do a cinematic video test with this camera..
I own a D500 and a Z7 and I’m soon to get a Z6 as a dedicated video camera/second body for when I shoot weddings. Would you recommend the D780 over the Z6 ignoring your preference of the OVF over the EVF?
Travis Jarvis I personally want two card slots, so I’d pick the D780. If you’re comfortable with the risk of one card, I’d probably keep investing in Z, since that does look like the future for Nikon
How's the camera in low light condition? (780) It's good as the Z6? or sux as the D850?
It's Helpful
Thank You for making this Video
Curious. Considering that mirrorless cameras are able to be completely silent when silent photography is enabled, how about the D780?
You can turn the sound off
Perfect review 😍😍😍😍
Yess !!!! Saw this on your Instagram
Hey man! Great video! I will wait for d750's price to go down. Meanwhile, check the description!
Very productive and knowledble vlog
Really good review. Well worth the watch.
Thanks Taylor great round up of the D780. My only disappointment is no video backup. Otherwise it looks a great choice to upgrade to from my D750.
Hi Taylor, I Love your Chanel and dig your style :-)) thx a lot for the Work !
I'm studying the possibilties of the D780 vs Z6ii before making a choice... you talked about the possibility to switch easily and instantaniously into video mode... but ... how do you compensate the given fps / Shutter speed ratio when shooting video ? still closing down the aperture and reminding the settings ? so far I have to use ND filters to shoot video, has the D780 got a new feature in that regard ?
Many Thanks and greets from Hamburg-Germany,
Christophe
I don’t use NDs when running hybrid coverage. Then use ReelSmart Motion Blur to add motion blur back to any clips that’s need it.
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto thank you Taylor, so it does work with higher shutter speeds..how far can one go ? same settings as photo or any synch limitations ? as well, What do you think about the AF system beeing so narrow centered ?.....I heard it's even more than on the D750..
You've got a new subscriber👏🏻
Thank you for your videos!
Thanks For all your help and insight...
I bought the D750 one year ago. But if i had to buy now a cam, im very sure that this would be my cam. With the Tamron 35 1.4 would be amazing. Keep up the amazing work and tanks a lot!
So it's the Nikon D780, amazing stuff, no delay
Can you update the 780 like the z series and get new features and faster autofocus?
Wow,Amazing work bro... love to have it....😁
Where's the buffer speed test? I was hoping to see how many shots you could take in 12-bit RAW + JPG at 7 fps before the camera slowed down.
I appreciate your videos Taylor
ottima spiegazione, il mio dubbio è se la differenza ad alti iso è poca visto che uso la macchina indoor ma la risoluzione della D850 sarebbe interessante per ritagliare le foto senza perdere risoluzione apprezzabile grazie
Amazing sir🔥❤
Hi just fund your Chanel I currently own a D850 do you use any of your older lenses on the Z series and if so how do the lenses handle really enjoying EVF Would like try a z but can not afford the new lenses
Yep, I’ve used the 85 1.4G a lot with it, and it’s nice to have every shot 100% in focus with it on the Z. On my 850 they’re always usable with it, just sometimes the focus point is just a bit out
Wow that was very helpful 😄
Because of its d is less then other then . Which camera D size is less is correct picture accurate.
What is the best camera d780 vs z6ii
Which lence is good for canon d750?
If you had to choose to upgrade from a D7200, would you go for a D780 or Z6ii? both cost the same where I live
mirrorless
@@fangli went for a diffirent option, a D3, best purchase in my life. Best colors I've ever seen from a camera in my life, better than Z6's I've tested in a store, and all the other APS-C DX Nikon cameras I own
Wow, I know this video is 4-yrs old, but I _Just_ picked up a D850, and I'm eying up a used D780; I do Weddings almost exclusively; and presently I'm VERY happy with my OM system OM-1's as my main cameras; but I have 10-11 Nikon "F" lenses that I can still use including the original 70-200 VR.
What are your thoughts in 2024? Thanks!!
Perusing your videos, It seems that you have switched to Sony? Please comment!
Picked up D 780 today actually! Can't wait to start shooting it
Hey Taylor,
What advice would you give when someone has been shooting weddings on the side successfully for the past 5 years and is ready to go Full Time. How could I build up enough clients to be full time? What is your best advice on marketing/ advertising to get 40-50 weddings a year? I also shoot hybrid (thanks to you). And get my D780 tomorrow ;)
great review!
Can we get a Lens suggestion for the D780 will be upgrading to it soon
Tamro 35 and 85 with stabalisation if your doing hybrid. He's mentioned those lenses in a few videos. Nikon versions if your just stills.
Am I right thinking the d850 is better for strictly stills the d780 is only better because of its video capabilities?
Yep. Or if you shoot liveview a lot
That’s refreshing D780 sounds like a real winner in the hybrid sphere. Ah! It kills me that there’s no in body stabilization yet ... other than that I’ll probably upgrade one of my D750s to one of these. Can’t wait to try it.
Yah I know. Was really hoping for IBIS in this body. D6 rumours seemed promising, but latest ones don't mention it, so I'm not too hopeful since it's not a feature pros on that camera would probably be after. Extra durability in the flagship will always win, and it'll be impressive if they could do that with IBIS
Taylor Jackson here’s hoping the D6 pulls through!! Btw, long time patron member and huge fan from the west coast of Canada! Love your business advice, it’s definitely expedited my career. Thanks 💪 ...and yes I just said “long time”... 🤭
@@TaylorJacksonPhoto Canon put all their video tech into its new top DSLR, maybe Nikon will include IBIS for D6. Wonder why they decided not to include IBIS in D780. Perhaps to get primarily video users to move over to Z cameras and buy their Z lenses perhaps. Or another reason perhaps?
But a lot of the "hybrid" features are not available via OVF they only work in Live View...
Yep
I trust you when it comes to camera and lens recommendation. I might buy d780 soon
Why not switch to Z6; it has IBIS.
You could trade optical view finder for IBIS.
No second card, so I couldn't use it as a main body for a wedding day
Z6 have very bad IBIS .. His kill battry and kill bokeh
I shoot everything through the eyepiece so the digital view finder is only for looking later to see if i got the shot. Otherwise it would be used for video. And i shoot stills with the camera, not video. But I can if I want. So for me the D850 with double the pixels and stills.
D850 Best!
Is it just me or is the shutter sound quieter on the D780?
Far more quiet than the D750.
I think this is very helpful content for us. thank u
What happened to the 90d giveaway ????
How is the build quality of the 780 compared to the 850?
Brian Sullivan is suspect after a year of solid use the d850 is going to standup better. That said my d750 that’s 4 or 5 years old now is still in great condition. With a regrip it would be looking pretty much new
I hated using my z6 for weddings. slow and clunky. I think you'll find your colour flow wont match up now for weddings as the z6 sensor is different.
Somehow Can we disable the stupid quality button?
I was really disappointed when I saw that it only has 51 AF points. I was hoping for 153 AF points from D850.
I would like to hear from you since you tried both cameras, how much difference is 51 compared to 153 in reality? Is it a big deal or not? How much easier is with focusing especially with thinner DOF (85mm F1.4)?
GaRRa I always shoot single point, so I’m not the one to do the comparison
Nicely presented 👍
Worth the price over a preowned D750? I’m a high school student to money is a *huge* factor
Honestly if it were me, I'd get a preowned D750. Especially if photos are a main focus. The video is still good from the 750, you just have to manual focus on it, which is what we've been doing for years.
I would love to see a high iso test of the 780
If you could...
How do u edit photos ??
good review. thank you.
Thanks for your thoughts. I am waiting see a real world tests on focus acquisition with the D780 vs D850 vs D750 for sports & birds in flight with busy backgrounds. I also do weddings so also hard lighting situations would be great to see how they do.
good one dude👌🤘
Been a Nikon shooter since 2007, and a bunch of Fast prime and zoom. It would be nice to would make a lighter DSLR but has the feature of a pro consumer body. Magnesium alloy may be nice on paper but when you actually used it for hours, year after year it's getting heavy
So why can’t nikon send out an update to make the auto focusing better like the 780’s ?
Because then you wouldn't buy a 780
Taylor Jackson Hahahah....touché...damn the man
I was waiting on your review. I planned to get it but now I’m sure. 🔥
