announce a slew of new products recently.
The Japanese camera brand unveiled the
latest entry to its full-frame DSLR range
in the form of the D780, a follow-up to the
hugely popular D750.
Packing a 24.5MP sensor, it aims to
combine the familiarity of a DSLR with
the flexibility of mirrorless. The optical
viewfinder gives a traditional shooting
experience, with access to a 51-point
phase detection AF system, full autofocus
modes and 7fps continuous shooting.
However, using the 3.2in 2359k-dot tilting
touchscreen opens up a wealth of new
opportunities. There are 273 points of
on-sensor phase detection to cover 90%
of the frame vertically and horizontally,
a maximum 12fps continuous shooting
in silent Live View and Eye-Detection AF.
Video is available up to 4K 30fps or 1080p
120fps, and includes a range of features
such as N-Log, Hybrid Log Gamma and
10-bit recording for extra editing flexibility.
It ’s available now for £2199 body only.
