LOVE YOUR VIDEO! I have had the classic D750 since it first came out, and it has served me very well, despite haveing a little wear and tear on the body:: Therefore I am looking at the D780 and the D850, and keeping my 750 as a back up: but the price of the 850 is prohibiitive! LOL Anyway, I appreciate your comparison review of the 780 znd the 750...many thanks! 😎 HG from Chicago
I recently purchased a D750 as I mainly wanted a low light photo upgrade from my crop sensor Canon 200D ii (Rebel SL3 in USA). I would have liked a D780 - a friend has one and yes the video is great - but it just came down to the cost savings. I saved about $1500 Australian by going for the 750 vs the 780 , at the cost of good video. The video on the 750, even at "high" quality and 1080 / 30 is only something like 24Mbps (it's not very detailed at all). I'm very happy with the photo quality though combined with Nikon 24-120 F4 lens. I've taken some decent lightning shots and experimented with some basic astrophotography too.
Yes for Photo the D750 basically just as good as the 780, with only a few differences that aren't really worth the extra cost. And if you mainly only need photo, and video would have just been an extra, saving $1,500 AUD is huge! I am glad you are enjoying the D750 :) moving to full frame is always a huge upgrade.
It's the first time I saw your video today. One thing has really impressed me most, that is, you have been very patient and really spend time responding to every viewer's questions and subsequent questions. Not only that, your answers are insightful and detailed from real world experience. I am a Nikon user for many years and I have D3, D5100 and Nikon 1 V1 and J5 and native lenses. I have been hesitant for months to buy a D750 (for 24 MB sensor and tilting lcd which are lacking in D3) and maintain dslr system or sell all current Nikon gear and switch to Nikon mirrorless system. After reading every viewer's comments and yours, it is clear for me to get D750 and continue using dslr as the Nikon mirrorless system is beyond my budget if I were to purchase mirrorless lenses like for like to replace dslr lenses.
Good morning :) Thank you very much. Part of why i started this channel is because everyone i know doesn't care about cameras, tech, lighting, video etc.. so talking with people, and answering peoples questions about what I make videos on is one of the best parts of this channel :) It also makes me feel good to know that i've been able to help someone out, and its great to see someone notice that i put that effort in! So thank you once again. Yea if you already have a collection of DSLR lenses, it definitely makes sense to stick with that system because you will take a huge hit on your return, and wont be able to get as much gear if you switched over. The D750 is still very much a great camera that produces professional photos, and if you are not bothered by the slightly larger size and weight, lower quality video capabilities/ video autofocus, There aren't so many reasons to make the switch. I wish you the best of luck in your creative endeavours and if you ever have any questions, i will always be happy to answer them to my best ability.
@@TymekStolarz Which one would you get the D500 (crop sensor) or D750? They are exact same price where I'm at. I only do pictures and no videos at all.
I personally would go with the full frame d750, but I may be bias as I never used the d500. I know that if given a choice most people will go for full frame as you could probably argue it’s “more professional”
I would go for D750 simply because it delivers outstanding performance in low light without flash which is my genre photography. Street scenes, people working indoors or outdoors are my favourite subjects. The D750 and D500 both have 24MP sensor but D750 sensor has larger surface area (full format 36x24) than D500 DX. Therefore D750 pixels are larger and delivers better image quality. From my experience, my D3 only 12MP full format delivers better image quality than my D5100 DX which is 16MP. Larger pixels perform better. I maybe wrong.
It seems like it’s still a decent pick for people who have no interest in video or mirrorless. I actually plan to compare them in the very near future!
The massive difference in number of shots taken with the battery is due to the D780 not having a built in flash. When rating battery performance the flash is used on every other shot if the camera has a integrated flash.
Good morning :) Yes! I had read that when I was doing my research and then totally forgot to include it in the video. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and point that out.
Plus we can get really cheap reliable third party batteries off Amazon, been using third parties for almost 3 years now and they're as almost good as the OEM batteties...nowadays, battery life isn't really an issue
Presently my main camera is the D850 and my second general purpose camera is the Z5. As much as the Z5 is a fantastic body and great deal (with IBIS), I have not been entirely impressed with it's ergonomics coming from a traditional layout of SLR/DSLRs and Fuji retro X system.. I am looking to replace it with either the D780 or D750 as I only own F mount glass for all my nikons. The D780 seems to be the practical choice and more future proofed. Curious about the "warm" handling of the D780, hope you could expand on that issue. Is it an over heating issue or just the shell radiating heat from sun exposure on a bright day?
so it may just have been a personal thing - but i felt that the material is made from a slightly different plastic. so holding the D780 seemed to warm up in my hand a little faster than the d750 - however i've never had any issues with the camera overheating or anything like that.
Hmmm that’s a good question. I would imagine they would be very similar but I don’t know forsure. I haven’t noticed any major difference between the two but I hadn’t specifically tested it
Thank you for an informative video Tymek. I have had a Nikon D7000, bought it way back in 2011 but the thing has cracked up. I have done a few events but would like to go full-frame and do this as a part-time profession. I can purchase a 2nd hand D750 for $1110 - 47000 shutter count and a D780 2nd hand for $1740 with a 30000 shutter count or a brand new D780 for $2350 Don't know what route to go. Prices might seem steeper, (from South Africa) I currently own a Sigma 70 - 200 F2.8 and Nikon 35mm 1.8
I may be bias but I always prefer to go new. That way it comes with the warranty and if you have any issues it can be dealt with. You also have the piece of mind that the camera hasn’t been dropped or anything like that ( even if there is no exterior damage). 30k shutter isn’t too bad when the life is apparently 150k, but if you have the extra funds I would go for the new 780. It will last you a very long time and have more life. But if that isn’t an option then I’d still go for the d780 over the 750
also a great choice. im pretty sure thats where the most advancements of camera tech are going anyways. i purchased the Sony A7S III back in December which i really like.
I'm still stuck with an ancient d80 and looking for an upgrade between these 2. In my country a used d750 is half the price of a new d780 (which isn't really available on the 2nd hand market yet) and I rarely shoot videos. The price difference is really tempting, but I'm kinda interested in the AF in live-view. tough decision to make.
That’s a tough one. If most of your use is photo anyway the d780 may not be worth the extra cash, But If you want live view AF for photos then you won’t have a very good time with the d750. It’s just very slow and hunts a lot. It’ll work but not well lol.
@@TymekStolarz the main reason I want to upgrade to a dslr rather than a mirror-less is that I prefer ovf over evf, so live-view AF isn't really necessary (I've been using the d80 which doesn't even have live-view anyways). It's just hard for me to say no to new fancy tech lol (especially after watching your comparison of the live-view AF).
I thought i liked OVF more than EVF as well as the very first camera i owned had one. but it was very old and laggy so moving to the D750 i really liked the OVF. I picked up the A7S III a few months ago and the EVF on that thing, and i am assuming a lot of the new mirrorless cameras was actually really nice to use. I dont use it very often for photos but i do like it. I am the same way, id love to play with all the cameras all the time.
@@TymekStolarz yh maybe new mirror less cameras have better evf but are also more expensive. I tried my friend's A7M3 which has similar price as d780 and I didn't like the evf on it. Other later full frame models are even more expensive and the cheaper models are mostly aps-c which I don't want to consider.
Thanks for the video Tymek. Isn't it the most different feature 900 seconds shutter speed? Is there any camera around that gives 900 secs shutter speed? So is it possible for you to show us this feature more in detail?
Good afternoon Aydin :) I personally wouldn't say the 900 seconds is the biggest difference - for me i think the biggest difference between the two cameras is the video modes. (4k, and 120fps at 1080p). 900 is definitely a lot of time, but it doesn't look like a lot of Nikon cameras have it. Looking at some other Nikon cameras most of them can only do 30 seconds (D500, D7500, Z6, even the D850). The only others that i see having 900 seconds are the new D6 and the Z6II and Z7II. even with a 30 second shutter you can capture a lot of light even in the black of night. If you were doing astrophotography for instance, 30 seconds in focal lengths over 17mm on a full frame camera will already be too long of a shutter speed (the stars will start to streak and become blurry).
@@TymekStolarz Thanks Tymek for your answer. As you said 900 secs only in latest models that's why I said it is different. I am already using D750 so 900 secs looks different to me. Since I don't use video so 120fps is not interesting for me.
Oh sorry, I thought you meant if the 900 second shutter was the biggest difference between the two cameras, which i suppose is a little subjective. I just double checked my notes and the photo related differences between the D780 and the D750 would also be: 1)D780 has a 1/8000 of a second shutter vs. 1/4000, 2) significantly better autofocus in live few photography because the d780 now has phase detection AF, 3) D780 can take UHS-II cards which will clear you buffer much quicker than a UHS-I card. 4) 7 frames per second continuous shooting vs 6.5 frames per second. 5) back-side illuminated sensor for better low light performance, and an ISO range of 100-51200 vs. 100-12800 on the d750, 6) focus stacking option up to 300 photos on the d780. i think those are all the major photo related differences between the two cameras.
@@TymekStolarz Thanks Tymek really those are the things related with me. Like 900secs 1/8000 is also important difference and the other items as you listed. Focus stacking is also interesting, so far I read it doesn't combine the photos only automatically changes the focus points, right? So because of those pandemic conditions here in Istanbul I can't go and check myself that's why taking your time thanks again. As a result what is your personal opinion Tymek is it worth to upgrade my old D750 to D780?
That is correct, it just generates the photos and you have to stitch them together in post. That is a tough one. Personally for me, those features are not enough to upgrade. As i mentioned earlier the biggest reason for me was the video capabilities, and i think they are the biggest changes between the D750 and D780 overall. The D750 is still able to do A LOT that the D780 can. If i wanted to upgrade specifically the photo features of the camera, i would be looking at the D850, or the new mirrorless cameras. Thats where i think are the biggest upgrades to photo that would justify the upgrade (however i do understand that they are expensive, and the mirrorless cameras are a completely different lens system). I guess it just depends on how often you are shooting the shutter extremes (30 seconds and 1/4000s) and wish you could shoot for a little longer or faster, or want to use live view for photography, or any of the other things i listed. If its regularly, then it might be worth making the upgrade.
It's great info! however, as I am not a pro i would love to have you slow down and have this info brake down to at least 3 different blocks, so i can follow you better !! otherwise it's great info though !
Thanks for the comment :) Yes i realized i was talking a little too fast when I was editing this video. I think i have improved on that particular point in my latest videos. Take care
Hello I have not been in photography since my 35 mm. But I was looking to purchase a new D 7500With a sigma 18 to 50 that will cost me roughly $1350 But I found a used mint condition 750 with a kit lens 24 to 140 I believe for a cost of $1400. I like the full frame feature. Only problem is when I compare it to the 7600 to 750 seems really dated in many ways. Processor, no touchscreen, frame rate. Etc. etc. any advice would really be appreciated thank you for your time and help, Tony
Good morning :) The D7500 really does have a lot more updated features over the 750 having been released 3 years after. I think it mostly comes down to what you want out of the camera. If you are mainly into photography, and want the absolute best pictures, the D750 is a really great camera. A full frame camera in my opinion will usually have the edge overall. But if you are more hybrid, and want to shoot a decent amount of video as well, the D7500 might be the better option. The d7500 will still be able to produce really great images and with the updated features and significantly better video capabilities, it might be a better pick overall. Once again it just comes down to what you mainly want to use the camera for. Keep in mind lenses will generally be cheaper on cropped than the full frame options, but then again the selection of super quality glass will be much more abundant on full frame over a cropped sensor.
@@TymekStolarz Thank you so much for your help and for taking the time to reply. I will take everything you said into consideration when choosing my camera. Thanks again and have a great evening
Hi, I have one question, about mount issues in D780... because I came across one of video and that person said D780 doesn't support some of older lens compare to D750, I am kind of confused about it because I have seen many videos but none of them mentioned but only one person mentioned that but I am unable to find that video and who it is.... I remember he showing camera mount and pointed one of the screw/or something like that which is not there in D780. Can you please clarify me on the same?
So I would assume they would both have the same compatibility, but I’m not 100 percent certain. Here are some links i found for lens compatibility for both cameras: D750 lens compatibility : www.nikonusa.com/Images/Learn-Explore/Photography-Techniques/2011/Which-Nikkor-is-Right-for-You/Media/NIKKOR-lens-compatibility-chart.pdf D750 page, scroll down for lens compatibility: en.nikon.ca/nikon-products/product/dslr-cameras/d750.html?cid=img_en_ca:SEM:MKT:Saatchi:ongoing:Google:P:FY18_Nikon_D750_(EN):DSLR:D750:ALLSEM&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwf39BRCCARIsALXWETwk_sm-dIsTyE7I2HlJGuU2UlbZvqdIsnYECLj6TZc5n7Cpi-zOyW0aAno3EALw_wcB#tab-ProductDetail-ProductTabs-TechSpecs Nikon d780 page, scroll down the page for the reported lens compatibility: imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d780/spec.htm I will take a closer look at the charts myself when I am in front of a computer.
Hi Shashidhar Tuppad, i looked at both the offical Nikon pages for the D750 and D780 and the seem to have the exact same lens compatibility. Both *can* use: AF lenses (Type G, E and D. limits with PC), AI-P lenses, DX lenses, as well as Non-Cpu AI lenses (A and M modes only). Both *cannot* use IX Nikkor, F3AF, and non AI lenses. I hope this helps :)
@@TymekStolarz thanks for the clarification, I’ll try to find the video once again let me see again what he was saying about... all the best and happy thanksgiving holiday.
For the most part I think it does a really good job but it depends on the lens you are using. I noticed that my Nikon 50 mm 1.8 lots me a few times when I used it for one of my videos. But I haven’t noticed any issues with my tamron 24-70 2.8. Touch I haven’t played too much around with though. I was planning to do some testing and make a video about it at some point.
@@TymekStolarz I do weddings so Im looking at either touch to focus or eye af when the bride is near, on my D750 it takes a hell of a time to get the focus point on her eyes but once on it makes beautiful images 🙂
@@TymekStolarz I turn on the live view to get the right exposure in indoor shots but yes sometimes I do, it works from time to time but to slow to navigate the focus square, thoght the d780 might have speed things up ?
Yes if you are able to do it sometimes with the d750 I’d say you’ll have absolutely no problems with the d780. Touch to focus is very fast and snappy. And the eye autofocus should be really good as well. I don’t use it a lot of photos, mostly for video but i would imagine they are very similar
Tak, wydaje się, że wszyscy bardziej skupiają się na bezlusterkowcach. Ale jeśli używasz D780 głównie w trybie podglądu na żywo, to w zasadzie jest to aparat bezlusterkowy.
@Tymek Stolarz I own the D750, coming from a D500, and was slightly "miffed" because I was so used to having the focus points reach from edge-to-edge. The "Deal Breaker" on the D750 is it's WMU!! The darn thing really is crap, compared to Snap Bridge. EVERY time you connect to the D750 via WMU, it HAS to populate and pull down every image from the camera, regardless as to if you already have it in the device you're currently using. As of the posting of this comment, the D780 has an instant rebate of $300, bring the MSRP-US to $1999. I get mine at the end of this month.
It’s been a while since I last used the d750 but I do recall it having some issues. I can’t say SnapBridge is the best software either but still very functional, I use it all the time for my thumbnails. I find the connection is a little bit finicky but overall it gets the job done eventually. That’s awesome, the d780 is a great camera and if you shoot any video light years better than the 750. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate you sharing :)
@@TymekStolarz You're right about the video on the d750. But, I truly did enjoy the content of this video. It was one of the factors solidifying me to get my d780 at the end of this month. I just learned about two drawbacks for the d780: no vertical grip/battery grip and it doesn't have a "knob" on the back line the D500 to move the focusing point. I still won't deter my purchase.
Thank you! That is very kind of you to say. Yes the battery grip is unfortunate for those who like having one. At least the battery still lasts so much longer than mirrorless! Haha. I have a similar knob on my A7s iii. Personally I just like using the up down left right arrows
@@TymekStolarz I'm trying to decide between the D500 and D780. However the price of D500 and D750 is exactly the same. I'm interested in pictures only not video. To make things more difficult I inquired 7 DX lenses and 3 full frame lenses.
Personally I think full frame is always the better system to invest in. They have better low light capabilities and provide a shallower depth of field which is a look a lot of people like. It’s great you at least have some fx lenses, and I would probably go with the full frame, and sell the dx lenses to get more fx. But as you probably already know, there is additional costs there as the larger fx glass is always more expensive then similar dx glass
Ik kan met de D780 geen NEF openen in mijn Paint Shop pro. Wel op de Camera monitor maar niet op div bewerking programma's. Weet iemand hoe mogelijk is.Met de 800 geen probleem.
Goedemorgen Walter, ik heb je opmerking via Google laten lopen, dus ik hoop dat het correct is vertaald. Ik vond deze pagina op de website van Paint Shop Pro met compatibele camera's: learn.corel.com/blog/aftershot-3-6-update-and-new-camera-profiles/ Het lijkt erop dat de D780 nog niet compatibel is met het programma. Ik zou rechtstreeks contact met ze opnemen om te vragen wanneer ze dit zouden opnemen. ------ Good morning Walter, I ran your comment through Google so I hope it was translated properly. I found this page on Paint Shop Pro's website of compatible cameras. It looks as though the D780 may not yet be compatible with the program yet.

Jestem Kanadyjczykiem, ale moi rodzice są z Polski. Mój polski nie jest świetny, to właściwie tłumacz google haha. Rozumiem to bardzo dobrze, ale moja mowa nie jest zbyt dobra.
@@TymekStolarz actually I upgraded from d3200 2 weeks ago. I still dont need fx because I am focusing on school and other things. I am investing in lenses and flashes right know. I am planning to buy Godox TT685N with triggers and slowly to build my gear. I have 50mm and 18-140mm, what lens do you think i should buy next? (Maybe 85mm)?
Ah well that’s awesome. New toys is always great. Tough to know know what’s the best les to go for next. What do you normally shoot? The 85 is a great focal length; however I personally went for a 90 macro lens. Still in that focal range, great compression for portrait photograph, but being able to get in and take macro shots is such a huge plus. I use that lens all the time for product videos and photos.
What camera are you shooting with? What do you like about it and what do you wish was better about it?

You also have the piece of mind that the camera hasn’t been dropped or anything like that ( even if there is no exterior damage). 30k shutter isn’t too bad when the life is apparently 150k, but if you have the extra funds I would go for the new 780. It will last you a very long time and have more life. But if that isn’t an option then I’d still go for the d780 over the 750
@@TymekStolarz Hi Tymek. Thank you for all your advice. I ended up going over to mirrorless.
also a great choice. im pretty sure thats where the most advancements of camera tech are going anyways. i purchased the Sony A7S III back in December which i really like.
I'm still stuck with an ancient d80 and looking for an upgrade between these 2. In my country a used d750 is half the price of a new d780 (which isn't really available on the 2nd hand market yet) and I rarely shoot videos. The price difference is really tempting, but I'm kinda interested in the AF in live-view. tough decision to make.
That’s a tough one. If most of your use is photo anyway the d780 may not be worth the extra cash, But If you want live view AF for photos then you won’t have a very good time with the d750. It’s just very slow and hunts a lot. It’ll work but not well lol.
@@TymekStolarz the main reason I want to upgrade to a dslr rather than a mirror-less is that I prefer ovf over evf, so live-view AF isn't really necessary (I've been using the d80 which doesn't even have live-view anyways). It's just hard for me to say no to new fancy tech lol (especially after watching your comparison of the live-view AF).
I thought i liked OVF more than EVF as well as the very first camera i owned had one. but it was very old and laggy so moving to the D750 i really liked the OVF. I picked up the A7S III a few months ago and the EVF on that thing, and i am assuming a lot of the new mirrorless cameras was actually really nice to use. I dont use it very often for photos but i do like it.
I am the same way, id love to play with all the cameras all the time.
@@TymekStolarz yh maybe new mirror less cameras have better evf but are also more expensive. I tried my friend's A7M3 which has similar price as d780 and I didn't like the evf on it. Other later full frame models are even more expensive and the cheaper models are mostly aps-c which I don't want to consider.
Yea i would always try to stay full frame as well. Well i wish you luck in finding a camera that works best for you :)
Thanks for the video Tymek. Isn't it the most different feature 900 seconds shutter speed? Is there any camera around that gives 900 secs shutter speed? So is it possible for you to show us this feature more in detail?
Good afternoon Aydin :) I personally wouldn't say the 900 seconds is the biggest difference - for me i think the biggest difference between the two cameras is the video modes. (4k, and 120fps at 1080p). 900 is definitely a lot of time, but it doesn't look like a lot of Nikon cameras have it.
Looking at some other Nikon cameras most of them can only do 30 seconds (D500, D7500, Z6, even the D850). The only others that i see having 900 seconds are the new D6 and the Z6II and Z7II. even with a 30 second shutter you can capture a lot of light even in the black of night. If you were doing astrophotography for instance, 30 seconds in focal lengths over 17mm on a full frame camera will already be too long of a shutter speed (the stars will start to streak and become blurry).
@@TymekStolarz Thanks Tymek for your answer. As you said 900 secs only in latest models that's why I said it is different. I am already using D750 so 900 secs looks different to me. Since I don't use video so 120fps is not interesting for me.
Oh sorry, I thought you meant if the 900 second shutter was the biggest difference between the two cameras, which i suppose is a little subjective. I just double checked my notes and the photo related differences between the D780 and the D750 would also be: 1)D780 has a 1/8000 of a second shutter vs. 1/4000, 2) significantly better autofocus in live few photography because the d780 now has phase detection AF, 3) D780 can take UHS-II cards which will clear you buffer much quicker than a UHS-I card. 4) 7 frames per second continuous shooting vs 6.5 frames per second. 5) back-side illuminated sensor for better low light performance, and an ISO range of 100-51200 vs. 100-12800 on the d750, 6) focus stacking option up to 300 photos on the d780.
i think those are all the major photo related differences between the two cameras.
@@TymekStolarz Thanks Tymek really those are the things related with me. Like 900secs 1/8000 is also important difference and the other items as you listed. Focus stacking is also interesting, so far I read it doesn't combine the photos only automatically changes the focus points, right? So because of those pandemic conditions here in Istanbul I can't go and check myself that's why taking your time thanks again. As a result what is your personal opinion Tymek is it worth to upgrade my old D750 to D780?
That is correct, it just generates the photos and you have to stitch them together in post. That is a tough one. Personally for me, those features are not enough to upgrade. As i mentioned earlier the biggest reason for me was the video capabilities, and i think they are the biggest changes between the D750 and D780 overall. The D750 is still able to do A LOT that the D780 can. If i wanted to upgrade specifically the photo features of the camera, i would be looking at the D850, or the new mirrorless cameras. Thats where i think are the biggest upgrades to photo that would justify the upgrade (however i do understand that they are expensive, and the mirrorless cameras are a completely different lens system). I guess it just depends on how often you are shooting the shutter extremes (30 seconds and 1/4000s) and wish you could shoot for a little longer or faster, or want to use live view for photography, or any of the other things i listed. If its regularly, then it might be worth making the upgrade.
Very detailed analysis
Thanks for your comment!
It's great info! however, as I am not a pro i would love to have you slow down and have this info brake down to at least 3 different blocks, so i can follow you better !! otherwise it's great info though !
Thanks for the comment :) Yes i realized i was talking a little too fast when I was editing this video. I think i have improved on that particular point in my latest videos.
Take care
wish it would work with the battery grip. ill still get the 780 either way
Yea it’s a shame they removed that option. I know it was pretty important for a lot of people.
Hello I have not been in photography since my 35 mm. But I was looking to purchase a new D 7500With a sigma 18 to 50 that will cost me roughly $1350 But I found a used mint condition 750 with a kit lens 24 to 140 I believe for a cost of $1400. I like the full frame feature. Only problem is when I compare it to the 7600 to 750 seems really dated in many ways. Processor, no touchscreen, frame rate. Etc. etc. any advice would really be appreciated thank you for your time and help, Tony
Good morning :) The D7500 really does have a lot more updated features over the 750 having been released 3 years after. I think it mostly comes down to what you want out of the camera. If you are mainly into photography, and want the absolute best pictures, the D750 is a really great camera. A full frame camera in my opinion will usually have the edge overall. But if you are more hybrid, and want to shoot a decent amount of video as well, the D7500 might be the better option. The d7500 will still be able to produce really great images and with the updated features and significantly better video capabilities, it might be a better pick overall. Once again it just comes down to what you mainly want to use the camera for. Keep in mind lenses will generally be cheaper on cropped than the full frame options, but then again the selection of super quality glass will be much more abundant on full frame over a cropped sensor.
@@TymekStolarz Thank you so much for your help and for taking the time to reply. I will take everything you said into consideration when choosing my camera. Thanks again and have a great evening
Not a problem, always happy to talk cameras haha. Take care :)
Hi, I have one question, about mount issues in D780... because I came across one of video and that person said D780 doesn't support some of older lens compare to D750, I am kind of confused about it because I have seen many videos but none of them mentioned but only one person mentioned that but I am unable to find that video and who it is.... I remember he showing camera mount and pointed one of the screw/or something like that which is not there in D780.
Can you please clarify me on the same?
So I would assume they would both have the same compatibility, but I’m not 100 percent certain. Here are some links i found for lens compatibility for both cameras:

@@TymekStolarz thanks for sharing and looking forward to hear from you if any changes.
Hi Shashidhar Tuppad, i looked at both the offical Nikon pages for the D750 and D780 and the seem to have the exact same lens compatibility. Both *can* use: AF lenses (Type G, E and D. limits with PC), AI-P lenses, DX lenses, as well as Non-Cpu AI lenses (A and M modes only). Both *cannot* use IX Nikkor, F3AF, and non AI lenses. I hope this helps :)
@@TymekStolarz thanks for the clarification, I’ll try to find the video once again let me see again what he was saying about... all the best and happy thanksgiving holiday.
@@sunrise_sunshine Not a problem. Thank you and you as well. Take care
Hey how reliable is the touch to focus and eye af in live view ?
For the most part I think it does a really good job but it depends on the lens you are using. I noticed that my Nikon 50 mm 1.8 lots me a few times when I used it for one of my videos. But I haven’t noticed any issues with my tamron 24-70 2.8. Touch I haven’t played too much around with though. I was planning to do some testing and make a video about it at some point.
@@TymekStolarz I do weddings so Im looking at either touch to focus or eye af when the bride is near, on my D750 it takes a hell of a time to get the focus point on her eyes but once on it makes beautiful images 🙂
On the d750 you are using live view to get focus on the eye?
@@TymekStolarz I turn on the live view to get the right exposure in indoor shots but yes sometimes I do, it works from time to time but to slow to navigate the focus square, thoght the d780 might have speed things up ?
Yes if you are able to do it sometimes with the d750 I’d say you’ll have absolutely no problems with the d780. Touch to focus is very fast and snappy. And the eye autofocus should be really good as well. I don’t use it a lot of photos, mostly for video but i would imagine they are very similar
Excellent 👌🏽
Thanks! I appreciate the comment :)
Currently shooting with a D800 and XT2
That’s awesome, I hear the D800 still holds its own as a very very good camera even though it’s a few generations old
Sprzedałem d750 i czekam na d780 bo ze względu niepełnosprawne dłonie i tak focę zawsze w LV, więc chyba dobry upgrade dla mnie?:)
Tak! D780 będzie znacznie lepszym aparatem w trybie podglądu na żywo! Miłego dnia :)
@@TymekStolarz dzięki, bo wszyscy na Nikoniarzach pieją o serii Z a dla mnie to i droższe i mniej praktyczne bo ja używam tylko szkła Sigmy Art:)
Tak, wydaje się, że wszyscy bardziej skupiają się na bezlusterkowcach. Ale jeśli używasz D780 głównie w trybie podglądu na żywo, to w zasadzie jest to aparat bezlusterkowy.
6:10 I just use a 10$ lockable external shutter trigger with my D750 and therefore unlimited long exposure.
Oh nice, i didn't even know that was a thing. Glad there is a work around. What do you normally shoot?
D750 is a very enjoyable Camera & besides D780 being without flash, its more desirable for Landscapes.
@Tymek Stolarz I own the D750, coming from a D500, and was slightly "miffed" because I was so used to having the focus points reach from edge-to-edge. The "Deal Breaker" on the D750 is it's WMU!! The darn thing really is crap, compared to Snap Bridge. EVERY time you connect to the D750 via WMU, it HAS to populate and pull down every image from the camera, regardless as to if you already have it in the device you're currently using.
As of the posting of this comment, the D780 has an instant rebate of $300, bring the MSRP-US to $1999. I get mine at the end of this month.
It’s been a while since I last used the d750 but I do recall it having some issues. I can’t say SnapBridge is the best software either but still very functional, I use it all the time for my thumbnails. I find the connection is a little bit finicky but overall it gets the job done eventually. That’s awesome, the d780 is a great camera and if you shoot any video light years better than the 750. Thanks for commenting, I appreciate you sharing :)
@@TymekStolarz
You're right about the video on the d750. But, I truly did enjoy the content of this video. It was one of the factors solidifying me to get my d780 at the end of this month. I just learned about two drawbacks for the d780: no vertical grip/battery grip and it doesn't have a "knob" on the back line the D500 to move the focusing point. I still won't deter my purchase.
Thank you! That is very kind of you to say. Yes the battery grip is unfortunate for those who like having one. At least the battery still lasts so much longer than mirrorless! Haha. I have a similar knob on my A7s iii. Personally I just like using the up down left right arrows
@@TymekStolarz I'm trying to decide between the D500 and D780. However the price of D500 and D750 is exactly the same.
I'm interested in pictures only not video.
To make things more difficult I inquired 7 DX lenses and 3 full frame lenses.
Personally I think full frame is always the better system to invest in. They have better low light capabilities and provide a shallower depth of field which is a look a lot of people like. It’s great you at least have some fx lenses, and I would probably go with the full frame, and sell the dx lenses to get more fx. But as you probably already know, there is additional costs there as the larger fx glass is always more expensive then similar dx glass
Ik kan met de D780 geen NEF openen in mijn Paint Shop pro.
Wel op de Camera monitor maar niet op div bewerking programma's.
Weet iemand hoe mogelijk is.Met de 800 geen probleem.
Goedemorgen Walter, ik heb je opmerking via Google laten lopen, dus ik hoop dat het correct is vertaald. Ik vond deze pagina op de website van Paint Shop Pro met compatibele camera's:
learn.corel.com/blog/aftershot-3-6-update-and-new-camera-profiles/
Het lijkt erop dat de D780 nog niet compatibel is met het programma. Ik zou rechtstreeks contact met ze opnemen om te vragen wanneer ze dit zouden opnemen.

Good morning Walter, I ran your comment through Google so I hope it was translated properly. I found this page on Paint Shop Pro's website of compatible cameras.
It looks as though the D780 may not yet be compatible with the program yet. I would reach out to them directly to inquire when they might be including this.
D750 still relevant today
I agree. In the video department I would say it’s lacking, but for photo it’s basically as good as the d780.
Czy ty pochodzisz z Polski ?
Jestem Kanadyjczykiem, ale moi rodzice są z Polski. Mój polski nie jest świetny, to właściwie tłumacz google haha. Rozumiem to bardzo dobrze, ale moja mowa nie jest zbyt dobra.
I am still on d7200 xd
Hey that’s not a bad camera! Are you looking to upgrade?
@@TymekStolarz actually I upgraded from d3200 2 weeks ago. I still dont need fx because I am focusing on school and other things. I am investing in lenses and flashes right know. I am planning to buy Godox TT685N with triggers and slowly to build my gear. I have 50mm and 18-140mm, what lens do you think i should buy next? (Maybe 85mm)?
Ah well that’s awesome. New toys is always great. Tough to know know what’s the best les to go for next. What do you normally shoot? The 85 is a great focal length; however I personally went for a 90 macro lens. Still in that focal range, great compression for portrait photograph, but being able to get in and take macro shots is such a huge plus. I use that lens all the time for product videos and photos.
👍
Thanks for watching :)
The D780 is very expensive in 2023, i just bought a D750 for $700
without a doubt more expensive, but for someone that is getting into video, the d750 just cant keep up with what the d780 can do.
