Nikon D780 + AF-S 24-120mm f4G ED VR

The D780 offers everything you expect from a high-quality digital SLR camera - and goes far beyond. Brilliant vision. Large battery capacity. Rugged construction.

The rugged D780 offers a fast Hybrid AF system specifically for Live View shooting and a fast, powerful autofocus system with phase detection and 51 points for photography through the optical viewfinder. When shooting in live view, photographers and filmmakers benefit from the same AF system used in the outstanding mirrorless system camera Nikon Z 6. Eye AF is perfect for capturing story expressions, and "low-light autofocus" ensures reliable subject detection down to -6 EV. Photographers using the optical viewfinder benefit from unique subject tracking and fast switching between advanced AF modes.

Thanks to high continuous shooting rates, this camera is even more versatile, offering up to 7 fps when shooting with the viewfinder and up to 12 fps in silent release mode when shooting live view - both with metering and AF tracking. Another notable feature is the very fast shutter speed of 1/8000s, which allows even fast-moving subjects to be captured sharply. Extending the exposure time up to 900 s also brings out fascinating light trails and night landscapes.

Videographers can shoot outstanding quality footage with the D780. With the image sensor and its increased resolution of 6K, the camera produces excellent 4K/UHD footage at 30p/25p/24p without cropping. Videographers can also record HLG HDR footage with high information density on an external VTR and view it directly on a compatible TV or monitor.

Viewfinder AF

The fast autofocus system with phase detection and 51 points offers sensitivity down to -3 EV. Photographers also benefit from top-of-the-line subject tracking and fast switching between advanced AF modes.

AF in Live View

The 273-point hybrid AF system operates at sensitivities as low as -4 EV or as low as -6 EV in low-light AF mode. Eye AF is available for photo shooting.

Continuous shooting at up to 12 fps

Up to 7 fps can be captured with AF/AE, or up to 12 fps in Live View silent release mode. Shots in RAW format are also recorded at full resolution.

Optical viewfinder and tilting touchscreen

The optical viewfinder with a magnification factor of 0.70 offers a wide field of view and 100% coverage. The tiltable LCD monitor with 2.359 million pixels enables both autofocus operation and shutter release via touch function.

Superior image quality

Compatible with F-mount lenses. CMOS full-frame sensor with 24.5 MP. EXPEED 6 image processor. 180,000-pixel RGB sensor and advanced Scene Recognition System, inherited from the D850.

Extra wide ISO range

The D780 offers a wider ISO range than the top-rated D850. The range is from ISO 100 to 51 200 and is expandable up to 204 800 and ISO 50.

Full-frame D-SLR movies

High-resolution 4K/UHD footage can be recorded at 30p/25p/24p without cropping. External recording with 10 BIT N-Log and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) are available for output in addition to internal recording to SD memory card.

Creative freedom

In-camera time-lapse function. 2-MP photos at an impressive 120 fps. In-camera digitizing menu. And much more.

Fast image transfer

Easily transfer images with the camera's high-speed data transfer feature and wireless connectivity. SnapBridge lets users share JPEGs and RAW files with any smart device.

Reserve tank

Two SD card slots let you expand storage capacity or use the second card as an in-camera backup.

AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR

Compact, versatile 5x Zoom lens for digital Nikon SLR cameras with FX-format image sensor. With strong optical performance characteristics, constant f/4 speed and a versatile focal length range of 24 to 120 mm.

The second generation Nikon image stabilizer system delivers sharp results even in low ambient light by usability of up to four stops longer exposure times. The Nikon nanocrystal coating effectively reduces ghosting and flare.

The lens body is made largely of magnesium as well as components manufactured from heat-resistant engineering plastic. This makes it particularly durable and well equipped for intensive use. Thanks to the rubber seals around the switch and bayonet, even use in humid or dusty environments is no problem.
