Full-frame 24.5MP DSLR body

The Nikon D780 body pairs a 24.5MP backside-illuminated FX sensor with the EXPEED 6 processor for detailed stills and 4K video. Its 273-point phase-detection AF system adds eye-detection in Live View, while a 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen simplifies composition from awkward angles. Wireless transfer and remoteless long exposures extend creative options without extra gear.

Enthusiasts wanting optical viewfinder

Photographers who prefer an optical viewfinder yet want on-sensor phase detection will appreciate the hybrid approach. Videographers needing internal 4K capture with full-frame depth of field are also well served. Buyers who want more storage or builders who need a second card slot should look at something else, as the body offers only a single slot.

Tilting touchscreen and wireless transfer

The 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen enables Touch AF, Touch Shutter and swipe navigation, replacing button-heavy menus for faster adjustments. Built-in wireless image transfer moves files to a smart device without cables or a separate transmitter. Remoteless long-exposure support lets the camera handle bulb timing internally, reducing shake on tripod-mounted night shots.

Questions about this item

Which lenses will work straight away on the D780's FX full-frame mount?

Any Nikon F-mount lens covers the 24.5MP FX sensor; AF-S and AF-P lenses give full autofocus, while older AF-D lenses focus manually unless the body has a built-in motor.

Can I keep using my DX-format lenses on this 24.5MP FX body?

Yes — the D780 automatically crops to a 20.9MP DX area when a DX lens is attached, so your existing glass still works with a narrower field of view.

How can I confirm the 273-point PDAF system is locking focus in Live View?

Enable the focus-point display in the 3.2-inch tilting touchscreen; the active point lights up when eye-detection or single-point AF acquires the subject.
