Low Budget Mirrorless Camera

This is my first mirrorless camera. I recently came from a Rebel SL2 that I really loved. I outgrew the camera and wanted something better. This camera was in my budget and it came with a great kit lens. It performs better than I could have expected and the accessory kit is great for just about all scenarios. I would highly recommend this camera. My photos have been better than ever before.

IMO, Nikon did well with this mirrorless generation using their experience gained as one of the first prime-time digital companies with the D1 and D100, to the ground-breaking D3 and several generations of the Nikon 1 mirrorless system. The files out the gate even at 24 mp are phenomenal! Low light images easy to process. It's like Nikon's done all the work to get you great files and it's just a matter of fine-tuning once you start processing them. Initial set-up took little time and within a couple of days, my fingers mapped easily to the controls and I was off and running. Size and weight are about right, a little larger and heavier than my m43 system in hand, but the files are much nicer! Autofocus? With the 2.0 update, no issues for my work so far, usually in dark churches with Hail Mary lighting. With my shift lenses in the field, the focus peaking makes tilting a breeze! The viewfinder is bright and I really can't see any of the pixels in the display. Noise? Silent in the church and even with the mechanical shutter, much better than most cameras. But what's the best thing? The image quality! Even at 24mp, a 16x24 looks spectacular on paper! Low light? As good so far as the D3s and probably better since there's double the pixels and a couple more generations newer sensor and electronics. Will this replace my D3/D3s & D700? More than likely. Better IQ, smaller, lighter, larger files. Battery life? Much better than stated, not as good as the D700/D800 using the same batteries, but much, much better than my m43. I shoot a day and have power to burn with the Z6. The m43, 3-4 batteries/day is typical. All and all, ergonomics, set-up, use and images a huge success for Nikon!

All I ever wanted in a Mirrorless Camera.

Mirrorless seems inevitable, but I still shoot a DSLR as I'm on a limited budget and D and some G series glass is cheap at this point, plus the longer battery life. It's an evolutionary upgrade over the 750; real advantages are a silent shooting mode and a much higher ISO capability. Interesting are 4K video and the ability to use LUT (Lookup Tables) to adjust color, but you need an external recorder for that. The shutter is rated for 200,000 cycles, more than the 750. The only losses are no built in flash and only third party battery grips. The 780 is a solid win in my book.

Low price and security for your lens camera

Great product. I think one of the best mirrorless camera out there.

I use it for my mirrorless camera. Would recommend.

The best camera so far, love the mirrorless tech.

Great for DSLRs and Mirrorless Camera lenses.

Great little bag for one mirrorless camera and lens.
