The Nikon D6 is a device that is both efficient and frustrating. Good case for sport (even if its burst is not the best on the market), it offers eye detection via its reflex aim, a major asset. It is the only big innovation since its predecessor, the D5. Who has not yet fully used this case will be reluctant to change the device. However, the D6 is a very good SLR, even if we cannot help seeing in him the baroud of honor of Nikon on this market, as it is to bet that the next sport case of the Japanese firm will be devoid of mirror. While waiting for the next cannon EOS-1DX Mark III test, the Nikon D6 is the best sporting reflex of our comparison. It is a solid, reactive case that will meet the expectations of users, who will probably forgive him for his conservatism.
NB: The lower price reduction is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the lowest price average charged by all merchants for the product last month, with safety rules to rule out the prices of shops whose VAT policy is not clear (called “gray” stores, typically in case of importing of China).
An alternative
Suffice to say right away, the Nikon D780 Format Format is an excellent case. Obviously, its good tropicalized construction, its ergonomics associated with a number of personalization options and its quality optical aim make it a good candidate for reflex lovers. However, the D780 disappoints on certain points, as in its burst mode or its highlight management. However, developments have been present from the D750, with in particular a very effective autofocus and a mode liveview Finally usable. Nikon has also not forgotten the video, not extravagant, but which will satisfy most users. The D780 SLR deserves its place as a versatile device in the Nikon range.
