The D7000 was brought out 10 years before the D780 and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a quick summary of how the D7000 grades versus the D780 for portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D7000 and Nikon D780. The entire galleries are available at Nikon D7000 Gallery and Nikon D780 Gallery.

Generally, its difficult to picture the difference in sensor measurements merely by looking through specs. The graphic below will help provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the D7000 and D780.

All in all, both of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The D7000 due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field trickier and the Nikon D780 will render greater detail having its extra 9MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The older D7000 will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
