Pros:
1. Not too heavy nor too big. In photo attached , as a comparision, the RIGHT hand side Nikon D780 with a Sigma Art lens attached. Left hand side is a smaller Nikon D5200 with a Sigma DX lens (thats lens is also good but I’ve now upgraded to the new setup on the right). I can carry it around my neck for an hour or more without much discomfort. Usually I keep it in my backpack until ready to use and it doesn’t feel heavy at all.
2. Attached photos (minus the pic of the cameras with lenses attached) are all taken with this Sigma lens and Nikon D780 and come straight out of the camera, unedited so you can be the judge of its abilities.
4. Autofocus works great with Nikon d780 and my Sigma Art lens. I also used it in manual focusing mode too.
5. Plenty of Youtube tutorials on how to get the most out of the D780. At present Im shooting in Auto with manual focus, sometimes fully auto focus. As I improve my understanding of the camera body, will try out other modes.
CONS:
1. Price . But I think all full frame cameras are pricey. If you can buy it with a zoom lens bundled in , might save you some money.
Verdict: Lovely camera , love the image quality which is what I bought it for.

I was really unsure about purchasing this camera due to the cost. I initially purchased a mirrorless Nikon but was really disappointed with it. So decided to go back to a mirrored Nikon (although it does have a type of mirrorless capability). It’s a heavy camera but very well made. The pictures I took were taken on the camera straight out of the box with no changes and no software manipulation. Wow. I was initially concerned about having no onboard flash but I don’t miss it and you can easily get a flashgun to us with the camera.
Go for it & enjoy

I have been very lucky to test this camera extensively over the past week or so. It is a joy to use, but has some compromises, which I’ll detail below.
***Summary***
This is a direct replacement for Nikon’s very well reviewed D750, with some notable improvements (the video performance definitely feels more in line with stills quality on this than the D780). It handles every situation I have thrown at it, from different light levels and speeds of action, through to the vibrancy of colours and details of shadows. I would have no hesitation using it as my main camera. However, for me it falls just a little between two stools: it is overspecced for the needs of a home photographer (which means it isn’t an optimal choice either in price or size), yet for semi professional use there are some slight compromises on features (largely image stabilisation, and action shots are hampered just a little because the tracking of movements is occasionally unreliable).
***Positives***
– For home use, this camera works brilliantly. The quality of jpegs direct from the camera are excellent, and (relatively) easy to share via an app. RAW files are, as you would expect rich and versatile.
– The body and lens are both extremely well made, and feel bomb proof, as you’d expect from the brand.
-4K video quality is astounding, and a step up from the D750.
– Battery life is great, and USB charging is easy.
– (For Nikon) relatively well functioning connectivity, with Bluetooth and WiFi options for sharing. This still feels more clunky than competitors, though.
***Compromises ***
Let me say I am being a harsh critic here. If this camera were £1000 less I’d rave about it. But for the price I’d expect the below to be better.
– For home use, this is a big, big camera. I have used Nikon cameras for most of my life, but even I find the classic body shape to be uncomfortably bulky when put alongside such capable mirrorless competitors (the Z6 comes to mind). I can’t quite see why you would pay this much for this big a camera, unless you have your heart set on DSLR rather than mirrorless.
– The lack of image stabilisation. Don’t get me wrong, the VR lens is extremely capable, but I would have liked to have seen image stabilisation built into the body also, not least because the body is backward compatible with older Nikon lenses.
– It feels as if, to get the best of the camera, you have to move between the finder and live view based on the camera’s limitations, not your preference. Specifically, the spec for auto focus varies quite a bit, and I found the tracking in action shots just didn’t seem quite up to par through live view. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t awful, I just got a bit frustrated that I didn’t have both options (live view and finder) available to me if I wanted top notch action shots. This didn’t feel like a compromise I wanted to make for the price.
