By Talicia Marie StewartAkihabara News (Tokyo) — Nikon’s new full-frame DSLR D780, set to release on January 23, offers a new and improved replacement for the D750.
The D780s predecessor, the D750, was formerly the longest-lasting Nikon camera in terms of battery life, allowing for roughly 1230 shots per charge.
The D780 effectively implements the same sensor and chip phase detection as the Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera.
This is the first time Nikon has used their AF system for Live View, from one of their mirrorless models, on a DSLR.
There are parts of it that are familiar to the D750 and the Z6, and there are parts that are completely new.
