Nikon D780 DSLR Camera with AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR Lens

Overview

The Nikon D780 DSLR Camera pairs a versatile full-frame body with the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens for a complete, ready-to-shoot kit. Mixing a contemporary imaging approach with traditional DSLR form and function, the D780 excels at both photography and video, built around a 24.5MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 6 image processing engine. It combines the familiarity of an optical viewfinder with the flexibility of a highly capable live view and video autofocus system, all housed in a magnesium alloy body designed for demanding professional use.

24.5MP Full-Frame BSI Sensor

The back-illuminated 24.5MP CMOS sensor delivers sharp resolution, fast readout, and strong low-light performance, with a native sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 51200 that extends to ISO 50 to 204800. Continuous shooting reaches 7 fps through the optical viewfinder or 12 fps in Live View.

Dual Autofocus Systems

A 51-point Multi-CAM 3500 II AF sensor, including 15 cross-type points, handles focusing through the optical viewfinder, while a 273-point Hybrid AF system covering approximately 90% of the frame takes over in Live View and video, adding subject tracking and Eye-Detection AF for both stills and movies.

UHD 4K Video with N-Log

The D780 records UHD 4K video at up to 30p using the full sensor width or a DX crop, plus Full HD up to 120p for slow motion. Integrated N-Log and HLG gamma settings support flat, grading-friendly footage, and the camera outputs 10-bit video over HDMI for higher quality external recording.

Traditional DSLR Body Design

A bright pentaprism optical viewfinder with 0.7x magnification and 100% coverage sits alongside a large 3.2" tilting touchscreen LCD, giving you the choice between eye-level shooting and flexible high or low angle composition.

Dual Card Slots and Wireless Control

Dual UHS-II SD memory card slots offer flexible storage options including overflow recording, while built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable wireless file transfer and remote camera control from a linked mobile device via the Nikon SnapBridge app.

Versatile 24-120mm Constant f/4 Zoom

The included AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED VR lens spans a useful wide-angle to short-telephoto range with a constant f/4 maximum aperture for consistent performance throughout the zoom. Three aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements work to reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations, while a Nano Crystal Coat and Super Integrated Coating help control flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy.

VR II Stabilization and Silent Autofocus

VR II image stabilization helps minimize camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, while a Silent Wave Motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual focus override. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm helps produce a pleasing out of focus quality for shallow depth of field work.
