The D780 was brought out 13 years later than the D80 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both cameras feature the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving into a full comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the D780 matches up vs the D80 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D780 and Nikon D80. The entire galleries are viewable at Nikon D780 Gallery and Nikon D80 Gallery.

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are working with during that time. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the D780 against the D80.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the D780 and D80 is 57 and 62 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to envision the gap between sensor measurements purely by reviewing a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D780 and D80.

Clearly, each of the cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The D780 due to its larger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF simpler and the Nikon D780 will offer extra detail having its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher D780 will have a benefit when it comes to sensor tech.
