Considering its (comparatively) affordable price point, the Nikon D780 performs impressively well. It has an ISO range of 100 - 51,200 that can be extended to 204,800 - even at this high ISO the D780 can handle image noise excellently.

It can capture up to 4K UHD time-lapse video and has a built-in exposure smoothing. The viewfinder has 0.7x magnification and 100% coverage, which differentiates it from its mirrorless counterparts.

Key Specs: 7 FPS continuous shooting, 100-51,200 ISO range (expandable to 204,800), 4K UHD video shooting, Wi-Fi connectivity, 24.5MP sensor, 2 SD card slots.
