Nikon D780 + AF-S 24-70mm f2.8E ED VR

Nikon D780 body

The Nikon D780 offers everything you'd expect from a high-quality digital SLR - 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 perfectly captures story expression, 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 allows 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. For output, external recording with 10 BIT N-Log and Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) are available 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 allow users to expand storage capacity or use the second card as an in-camera backup.

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8E ED VR.

Faster. More robust. With image stabilizer.

With its first-class image quality, the AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f2.8E ED VR meets professional demands in all respects.

Nikon now offers the professional 24-70 mm lens - one of the most widely used professional lenses in the entire NIKKOR range - with image stabilizer and an optical design optimized from the ground up. The image stabilizer effectively compensates for camera shake and enables sharp shots with exposure times that are up to four stops slower. Autofocus drive by the Nikon-exclusive Silent Wave motor works even faster than the previous model. The lens is ruggedly built and the fluorine coating on the front and rear lenses effectively repels water, dust and dirt.

• Professional standard zoom: focal length range 24-70 mm from wide-angle to light telephoto for almost any type of subject.

• Constant f/2.8 aperture: provides excellent low-light performance and consistent exposure throughout the Zoom range.

• Image Stabilizer (VR): Compensates for camera shake, enabling sharp images with exposure times up to 4 stops longer.*.

  * In "Normal" mode according to CIPA standard.

• Outstanding imaging performance: This lens delivers exceptional brilliance and contrast throughout the field of view. The optical design effectively minimizes chromatic aberration and thus color fringing. Distortion is low throughout the Zoom range.

• State-of-the-art optical design: For the first time, an optimized aspherical ED glass lens is used, in addition to two other lenses made of ED glass, three other aspheres and an HRI glass lens with an especially high refractive index.

• Nano Crystal Coat: Ensures brilliant images by reducing ghosting and flare.

• Electromagnetic iris: Enables high consistency of exposure, especially during high-speed continuous shooting.

• Silent Wave Motor (SWM): Extremely fast, ultra-quiet autofocus with unrestricted access to manual focus.

• Rugged and reliable: Rugged and sturdy construction designed for intensive and demanding professional use.

• Fluorine coating: Actively repels moisture, dust and dirt without compromising image quality. Fluorine coating protects exterior lens surfaces and reduces the risk of scratching the surface when cleaning the glass.

• Included: Lockable lens hood and lens case.
