Nikon D780
There are no fireworks with the Nikon D780. It doesn’t bring radical new technologies, bar-raising specifications or wacky design features. It’s simply an excellent evolution of a great camera design that has something for enthusiasts and experts everywhere. Nikon has at last brought fast phase detection live view AF to its DSLR design, it’s added pretty advanced 4K video features, a better continuous shooting speed and buffer capacity than we’d expect at this price, and you get Nikon’s typically comfortable, polished and balanced DSLR handling.

The higher-end Nikon D850 does have a larger sensor and more autofocus points, but it also sells for nearly $1,000 more. If you're a landscape or portrait photographer who needs the 45.7-megapixel sensor of the D850, then, well, you need it. But if you're looking for a generalist camera with excellent specs, very nice straight-out-of-the-camera JPGs, dual SD card slots, and mirrorless quality 4K video features, the D780 is hard to beat.
