Nikon says this was done to help weather-seal the camera, but my D750 was in lots of very wet and dirty conditions and never once had a problem. If you'd rather not have the touch-screen functionality, you can always turn it off in the menu.Īs you've probably heard, the Nikon D780 does not have a built-in flash, unlike virtually every other DSLR. For those who like touch screens, you can use this to focus the image by tapping on the screen, scroll through photos and menus, change settings, zoom in, and more. The Nikon D780 does have a touch-screen LCD now, although I rarely use it. It was very easy to accidentally switch from RAW to JPEG if you weren't careful, especially in the dark. On the D750, the ISO button was placed on the back, right between some very important buttons like "Quality" and "i". This makes it very easy to find at night, and quickly switch the ISO. Thankfully, Nikon put the ISO button up top, next to the "Record Movie" button. The most important change to the button layout is the ISO button.

Finally, the Live View button has moved from the lower right to the upper right. The "info" button has also moved from the upper right to the lower left. The main difference is that the "i" button has moved from the lower left to the lower right. If you're comfortable using your D750 at night, it will be very easy to switch to the D780. The D780 has a very similar design to the D750, both in terms of button layout and ergonomics. After waiting for years to upgrade to a new camera body, I was very excited when Nikon finally released the D780! In this review I'm going to focus on how the D780 performs specifically for nightscapes and astrophotography. This purple glow was only visible if I didn't capture enough light to "cover it up", which is a pretty common occurrence when doing astrophotography. There were also a few small problems with the D750, the main one being this annoying purple glow. The camera has done a phenomenal job, but it was starting to show its age. I've been using a Nikon D750 for the past 5 years for all of my astrophotography, landscapes, wildlife, portraits, and more. The Nikon D780 is the long-awaited replacement for the popular D750.
