As you can plainly see, both of the cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D780 due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Nikon D780 will give you more detail as a result of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer D780 provides an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
