El análisis no es un análisis, como siempre es un comentario ampliado de sus características aderezado con unas cuantas de sus coloreadas fotos: California is different.
La Guía para “Dummies” no está nada mal y ayuda a no tener que tragarse las 944 páginas del manual de usuario original.
Pero como siempre hay masoquistas también nos ofrece el “tocho” completo en PDF, pero naturalmente en “bárbaro”.

Bueno, y ya está. Ahora, para complementar la cosa y para que no penséis que poner solo lo anterior es “poco profesional” os pongo los apartado habituales para esta WEB cuando analiza cosas:
New since D750:
- Regular ISO to 51,200 and push ISO to 204,800. (D750 only went to 12,800 or push to 51,200.)
- No more built-in flash.
- Manual exposures now settable to 15 minutes in Manual mode, hallelujah! Oddly they are not displayed in minutes, but instead as long numbers of seconds, up to 900 seconds. Good news is that manual exposures of 60 seconds or longer are counted-down on the top LCD!
- 1/8,000 maximum shutter speed, up from 1/4,000.
- No mention of the availability of a battery grip, and no apparent contacts for one.
- Battery now rated 2,260 shots, up from 1,230 in the D750, but the lack of flash is one of the big reasons behind that.
- Eye-detection AF.
- In-camera USB-C charging.
- Touch screen.
- 10-bit N-Log or HDR (Hybrid Log-Gamma) video.
- Focus Stacking: the D780 will save a set of raw files at different focused distances, but you have to try to composite all these later in your computer.
- Multiple Exposures, even with non-consecutive frames.
- First Nikon DSLR ever with phase-detection live-view AF (Nikon 35mm SLRs have used phase-detection since at least 1986).
- No more SCENE or NO FLASH modes on top dial.
- INFO and i buttons reversed (doesn’t matter).
- ISO button now up by the shutter button while the Metering Mode button moves to the back of the camera.
- Live View lever moves up near the viewfinder.
- No longer works with ML-L3 infrared remote; instead use the MC-DC2 remote cord or Nikon’s free app.
Good:
- Superb high ISO performance.
- Superb Nikon image quality: better looking JPGs direct-from-camera than from Sony or Fuji if you demand the vivid colors I do.
- Excellent low-light autofocus.
- Fast autofocus for sports and action — worlds better than Nikon’s mirrorless cameras.
- Two SD card slots.
- DX, square and 16:9 as-shot crops.
- Properly saves and recalls almost all shooting settings in its U1 and U2 modes.
- Saves and recalls all camera settings to and from a memory card, and these files can be saved and shared on your computer and I share mine online. Better than mirrorless rubbish like the defective Nikon Z6, Z7 and Sony A7R Mk IV, saving to card the D780 recalls all the contents your U1 and U2 modes. (The Z6, Z7 and Sony A7R Mk IV erase the contents of their memory modes when you recall from a card, making this feature nearly useless in those half-finished mirrorless fiascoes!)
- Still has full-aperture Matrix metering and focussing with AI manual focus lenses! (No Nikon Z camera can do this; the FTZ has no aperture-ring feeler.)
- Still autofocuses with all AF and AF-D lenses made since 1986! (No Nikon Z camera can do this; the FTZ has no focus motor.)
- Manual exposures settable to 15 minutes in Manual mode, hallelujah!
- Wide compatibility with tens of millions of Nikon lenses made for over 60 years. (No Nikon Z camera can do this; the FTZ is very limited.)
- In-camera USB-C charging.
- Touch screen works great for entering text and data and working menus, much better than Sony.
Bad:
- No more built-in flash.
- Offshored to Thailand; not made domestically in Japan.
- Much more expensive than the D750 or Z6, but not necessarily better depending on your feature preferences.
Missing:
- No more built-in flash.
- No 4:3 or 4:5 “Ideal Format” crop modes (only square, 16:9 and DX crops).
- AUTO AF-AREA MODE usually works wonders picking the right AF areas all by itself, or you can use the rear controller manually, but you can’t use a finger on the rear LCD while looking through the viewfinder to select them as is common today on mirrorless.
- No mention of the availability of a battery grip.
- No more SCENE or NO FLASH modes on top dial.
- No automatic brightness control for rear LCD.
- No built-in Image Stabilization (no Nikon DSLR has this).
- TIME exposure mode, but no timer displayed to count time (use the new Long Manual Exposures instead which do count-down on the top LCD).
- No GPS; use the optional GP-1 or GP-1A.
¿ A que así ha quedado la cosa mucho mejor ?
