Clearly, both of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The D780 with its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF less difficult and the Nikon D780 will provide more detail using its extra 22MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more modern D780 provides an advantage in sensor technology.
