And if so, any guesses by how much and how quickly. I’m currently considering an imminent D610 purchase but I might hold off if used D750 drop in price significantly. Any thoughts??
Camera Jungle still have 20% off using code YEAR20 for anything over £750 (or 10% off using YEAR10 for anything under). so some decent prices available.
Here is my guess. Prices are pretty low already for the D750 and if people upgrade then there will be more on the second hand market so used prices maybe better. The problem is that it is a very capable camera so the D780 would have to be amazing.

IIRC you add it at the checkout,Hmm, D600 for £400. Cant work out where to use the offer code though.
TBH I'm not sure why someone would buy a D780 for £2199 when you can get a D850 for £300 more. I haven't compared specs but the resolution difference is so huge...
Absolutely, the D850 is a no brainer over the D780 unless you shoot video. The D780 looks good, just way overpriced imo.TBH I'm not sure why someone would buy a D780 for £2199 when you can get a D850 for £300 more. I haven't compared specs but the resolution difference is so huge...
It's smaller, lighter and has fewer mega pixels than the D850 for three reasons. Some people don't want or need any more than 24mp or the supposed benefits of 'pro level' build quality.TBH I'm not sure why someone would buy a D780 for £2199 when you can get a D850 for £300 more.
I think it's more because Nikon (imo) have priced the D780 too high and as a result will be compared to the better bodies, it's inevitable. I understand that some won't want the D850, but at current prices the D850 is surely the better bang for buck.Fair enough - I guess this is the "enthusiast D780 vs pro D850" argument and solution then?

I seem to remember that when it was released the d750 was slagged off here and elsewhere for various reasons; how things change!

Yup, when I first got mine I went through that thread, a lot of folks were saying it was a step down from the 700, to be honest I think the 750 is a brilliant camera, and Nikon knew it as they kept it as a current model for all those years and it is still there today. Some will not like the 780 just because you cannot get a grip for it as in the posts about the 7500 which has the same problem. Time will only tell when the 780 becomes available and the "upgraders" start to reveal their thoughtI seem to remember that when it was released the d750 was slagged off here and elsewhere for various reasons; how things change!
Only trouble is going by Nikon’s current pricing a D880 will be around £3999The D780 does look better than the D750 even without the mirrorless tech.
If it can do that and have awesome live view then it’s a huge bonus imo. Still no Z6mk(2) as I suggested in another thread but having a useable live view let alone a frigging awesome live view.
It’s probably not fair to compare prices to the D850 or at least compare it to the D850 at launch.
This does give me hope that I won’t have to go mirrorless if the same can be applied (but better) to the D880(!)

Think I paid £1750 at launch for my D750, surely inflation’s not gone up that much?The d750 and d780 have exact same RRP you realise with a 6 year gap
USD launch price on DP Review is the same for both cameras.Think I paid £1750 at launch for my D750, surely inflation’s not gone up that much?

I think they’re mistaken thenUSD launch price on DP Review is the same for both cameras.
I get that. Let’s hope the price becomes more realistic within 6 months. I’d be disappointed if I couldn’t buy a grey one for less than £1500 within a few months.Yup it'll be a good camera but the small problem with comparing it to the D750 is it's now a quarter of the price, a 'hybrid' camera is a tougher sell when you can get a D750 and Z6 for the same price.
Not fair but realistic, if you can get a D850 for a similar price that's the current reality of the situation. A few years ago it would have been a different matter but it's being released now so has to contend with competition from super cheap D750's, cheaper Z6's, almost on par D850's and other products like the A73.
I'll wait to see what it produces before thinking of changing.
And no dedicated grip but there is a wired one (photo from nikon rumors) View attachment 265228
