Why won't my Camera photos upload to the computer?

I have a Nikon Camera ..
Before today It would upload the photos to the computer with a plug in about 5 seconds.
But for some reason I plugged it in today and it won't let me upload any, It says "USB Device not recognized". And I've re plugged it whole lot, it still won't work.

Any suggestions?

Good Nikon Camera That Can Film In HD?

I'm looking for a Nikon camera that can film in 1080p HD and it has to have the option to manually focus, preferably a focus ring but that's not that not much of a big deal. Any ideas?

Many thanks, Will.
Added (1). @Andrew It has to be a Nikon because my stepdad has a few lenses he'll give me.

Gary Fong Lightsphere vs Rouge Flash Benders? (shadow problem)?

I'm using GF's Lightsphere and like it but the only problem is when I tilt my camera vertical, I see the vivid shadow on one side of the model, however all horizontal shots are shadowless.Is there a way to avoid the shadows? I'm using a Nikon 24-70 and D90.

Also, can Rouge Flashbender shoot without shadows? How does it work?

Your professional advice is greatly appreciated!

DX lens on a DX body. Will crop factor apply?

I want the answers a simple to understand as possible. Here's my doubt.
I have a Nikon D5100 and that's a DX camera. I have a 18-55 mm DX Lens.So will this DX lens on D5100 equivalent to 27-82.5mm? or the same 18-5mm because it's a DX lens?
Will the crop factor apply to any lens used on D5100 whether it's DX or FX.
Thanks for your answer in advance.

How to convince my parents to buy me a camera?

Okay, so I REALLYYY want the Nikon 1 j1 and I told my mom, but thinks $300 is an outrageous price for a camera. If you buy it online from Walmart, it costs $300 but if you don't, it costs $350-500.My mom HATES buying things online, she always feels like theyre going to steal money from her debt card -.- I would earn the money, but I don't think anyone would hire a 13 year old. There's rarely any places that let me volunteer. I graduate middle school in June and I want this as my graduation present. I rarely ask my parents for anything, but I really need this. I would ask my grandpa, but I think that's too much and I almost never see him. Any suggestions? P. s.my mom will probably tell me to just work around the house so she can save money but I think that's pretty pointless because either way, it's still her money.

Would a nikon 18-55 lense be enough for a team photo shoot?

Im doing my first photo shoot. Ive been doing senior portraits and family portraits for over a year and have no problem there but I was approached to do a team shoot and there is good money in that so im giving it a try.My only question is should I rent a wider lense or just stick with my 18-55 lense because there are only 12 girls on the team… and maybe 2-3 coaches that doesnt make for a very large group. If you think my kit lense is not enough can you please recommend one that might do it? I can rent alot of different lenses from my local camera shop.thank you!

What kind of zoom will you get on 300mm lens on crop sensor?

I have 75-300mm lens.what kind of magnification will i get on crop sensor.this is a canon lens, so assuming a canon crop sensor on canon camera. I was told it would be 480mm. But what i am interested in is in times. Like i have nikon binoculars with zoom from 8 times to 24 times.it is really good zoom on binoculars.also have 12 times zoom on panasonic cam corder.these are good zooms.
I want to know what kind of zoom will 480mm lens will equate to in those specs like on binocular and cam corder. Sony bridge cameras also have zoom in times.
Second question is, if i get a spacer for that lens, 70-300mm, what kind of zoom then will it be? Will a picture still be usable with a spaces, because there would be less light i presume.

Professional photographer here looking to step up from iphone camera?

Okay so I'm a pro photographer. I've been shooting with my iphone for like 3 years so I know everything.

I've narrowed down my choices to these cameras

A Nikon D4 a Nikon D3000 a Canon T5i a Sony W710 or the new iphone 5. I have pentax lenses I can use on all of these cameras. You just jam them on right?

I also want to shoot in 1080p film and need some good film to put in my digital camera, I tried to put HD film in my iphone but wound up electrocuting myself. I tried to call up apple but I couldn't because the HD film was still stuck in my iphone.

I also need HD memory film for my pictures.

Who makes good HD films these days. Does Craftsman and Staples make good HD memory film.

This question is obviously fake. I just posted it because of all the brainless questions people have been asking lately.

How to convince my parents to buy me something?

I want a Canon or Nikon camera that is around $350-$500 dollars. The one I really want is the $500.
I love photography and want to start making YouTube videos, so I need a good quality camera.
My dad thinks $300 is outragous for a camera but all my other $200 end up breaking (not by my own doing) and I want one that will last. I'm graduating middle school in June, so I'm planning on asking my grandma (she likes to spend her money since she has a lot) if she will buy me one as a graduation present.

I live in FL and in May my whole class is going on a field trip for a week to Washington D. C. and I want the camera in time to bring it there so I can take pictures. Thanks(:
Added (1). I live with my dad (my mom passed away a year ago from cancer) and we are moving in a few weeks so he doesn't have a lot of money for me as he has already spend $200 on clothes for me for that week in D. C. I want this camera by the end of the month so I can't really earn enough money in that amount of time.
Added (2). My dad actually told me to ask my grandma because she's always willing to get me something just he wasn't sure she would buy me a camera for that price.

In Florida most jobs you must be 15 or 16 to even volunteer let alone be hired.

What is the right lens for me?

I have a Nikon D3100 and currently still have the kit 18-55mm lens. However, lately I have been looking into other options of lenses since I am branching out.
I'm going overseas for the summer, and so that means I'll be carrying my camera around a lot, and having a slightly lighter lens than the 55mm would be fantastic, as well as being less bulky.

I've been looking at prime leses, both 50mm and 35mm.

Obviously I take a lot of shots while I'm traveling and being active. I do not take a lot of low-light shots, which is why I'm nervous about buying a 35mm. About 80% of my shots day-to-day are macro.

So basically I want a light weight, macro friendly Nikon lens. Any suggestions in this area would be greatly appreciated.

Why can't I shoot in lower f stops (must b on f22) on my?

The camera (Nikon D3000) forces me to lock the lens (older AF Nikkor 35-135 mm lens) on the highest f22 stop for it to shoot. I realize the camera is a DSLR, and the lens, while in brand new condition, is around 20 years old. I focus manually and I thought I would be able to set the aperture manually as well, but like I mentioned, the camera will not shoot unless the lens is locked at the highest f22 stop.Am I missing something or is this it? Thanks.

Why are my Nikon D5000 pictures dark outside?

I have a Nikon D5000 that I just purchased and it takes great pictures, when it's bright outside. Unfortunately, once it gets even slightly cloudy, the pictures begin to come out very dak. I have the shutter speed at 200 (for sports) and the ISO cranked all the way to 2500. Then I set the aperture to 4.3, and the pictures are still dark. The flash isn't on, because it wouldn't do me any good from so far away. I've used other people's cameras and they work so well that it makes it look even brighter than it really is outside. What am I doing wrong here???

Can't decide between these cameras. NIKON vs CANON?

Here are the three cameras I am interested in:
#1 - http://www.target.com/p/nikon-s5200-digital-camera-bundle-with-8gb-memory-card-and-case-plum/-/A-14515539#

#2 - http://www.target.com/p/canon-powershot-elph-115-hs-16mp-digital-camera-with-8x-optical-zoom/-/A-14449446#prodSlot=medium_1_39

#3 - http://www.target.com/p/canon-powershot-elph-130-16mp-digital-camera-with-8x-optical-zoom/-/A-14447741#prodSlot=medium_1_47

I like #1 because it seems to be a great camera AND it comes in a bundle including a case and memory card (the camera is $169.99 alone). But I have never used Nikon & I am worried that picture quality will not measure up to the Canon brand.

And I just do not know how I would decide between #2 & #3. They are both the ELF models of the Canon but #3 is "ELF 130" and #2 "ELF 115 HS"..So #3 is the newer model?
And how much better is choice #3? (Assuming it is better by the $10 increase in price).
I do know that camera comes with Wi-Fi… but is that the only major difference?

Please help me pick and let me know any helpful info I should know when choosing a good point & shoot camera. Any links or personal use of these cameras will also be helpful for comparison.

Thanks!!! ♥

My new camera is all grainy?

I have a qualification in photography and I have two other cameras, one 35mm film and the other a Nikon 3500
This new one I wanted as something lighter and smaller for my bag it's a Hitachi HBC161e
16mp

The problem is it's a very grainy camera, the picture quality is not good at all I assume it would be just as bad if I uploaded the pictures to my laptop because the appear grainy on the little screen.
I have tried editing the settings, increasing the sharpness, brightness etc but the quality is like that of a youcam laptop webcam for colours or a little samsung snapshot camera.it has an lcd screen and 720pp video capture too

What can I do?
auto iso I think it's at 6400 but I can't find a setting to change it.
Some reviews say it's grainy but usually you can sort that out.

how can I take the grain off?
It's a very nice camera with normal price of £100 but I got it on sale for £60 in Argos.
What should I do? it's perfect in every other way.
It has no manual zoom lens etc
here it is!

Added (1). Aggressive, nasty people will be reported like answer 1
It actually looks like it's the zoom on the camera and like it's slightly out of focus which is causing the problem I think it would take very nice pictures if someone could tell me how to sort it out?
Added (2). Yeah I know about the ISO problem but I did read the manual and it said 'ISO is auto' but the FN button has showed me I can change it wow okay playing with the settings from there is helping a lot :)

Nikon 18-105mm lens? How is it?

So I'm thinking about upgrading from my kit lens to the 18-105. But after reading a LOT of reviews, I found that a lot of people complained about the plastic mount causing the lens to break. Has anybody had experience with this lens, and how do you like it?
Added (1). I used to own the 55-300mm, but it was just too much of a hassle. If you went to do things closer to you you'd have to switch to the 18-55, and then I'd have to switch back again for more zoom. Plus it was TOO heavy! So I sold that lens.

Stuck film advance lever?

I have a Nikon Nikkormat EL that my dad gave to me a few years back and I haven't used in a while. When I went to use it, the film advance lever is stuck.It will move from a closed to open position with no problem, but will not swing out to advance the film. I've fiddled around with it and replaced the batteries but nothing works. The frame counter is on S and I have no idea how to change it back to the beginning. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Nikon D5100 Black Pictures Issue.?

Hello all,
I am considering buying a Nikon D5100 today. I have done a lot of research and I think this is the perfect camera for what I need. However, I keep seeing consumer reports about a black picture issue. After 3-8 months of use some people report that the shutter becomes stuck. They will send it back to be fixed, only to have this issue happen again.

Does anyone know anything about this? Was it a 'bad batch' vs.a manufacture error.

Is it still worth purchasing or should I keep looking? Opinions?

Thanks!
Added (1). I found these negative reviews on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-16-2MP-Digital-18-55mm-3-5-5-6/dp/B004V4IWKG)

As well as:
http://nikonrumors.com/forum/topic.php?id=4228

It also have many more glowing reviews then bad ones.So I'm just not sure if its worth the risk…

Lenses and settings for pub gig photography?

I am a complete amateur but have enough knowledge and love shooting in manual mode etc. I have done some theatre photography with my kit lenses that came with Nikon d5000. Namely the 18-55mm and 55-200mm

However I purchased a afs 35mm 1.8 which I also love using for general stuff but I'm also considering the 50mm 1.8 too.

It's a small pub and I'm taking photos of a band. I cannot afford anything more than these lenses anyway so my question is will these be okay and recommend some good settings? Is it worth getting the 50mm too? I can afford it right now so is it a worthwhile addition to my kit???

Many thanks.

Should I switch my Canon 60D to a Nikon D7100?

I REALLY am not liking my Canon 60D for several reasons. I am thinking about switching to a Nikon D7100 for these reasons.

- Better low-light performance (the 60D has noise even at ISO 400)
- More auto-focus points

These are my two main points. I want to do birth photography so need good low-light. But would this be a better investment? I don't have huge amounts invested in Canon so am open to the change but just want to hear the thoughts of others.

I'm asking a friend to buy a Nikon D3100 and bring it for me from France but I don't know how to order it. I found this:

And it says "de Nikon" meaning "from Nikon". Does that mean it's the official channel of Nikon on Amazon and it's safe to buy it from there?

Thanks
Added (1). Fhotoace: thanks but I don't live in the US so getting a US warranty is not going to do me any good. And I do know that buying it from France is gonna cost more but I don't have anyone to bring it for me from the US (and I don't have a credit card to but it myself)

Help with buying a DSLR camera?

My budget is $700 max with lens (ideally would like 650!!)
So this absolutely rules about the canon7d so please don't suggest that! I know it's just a little more but I'm 16 so a little is a whole lot! I would be using this camera for photography (duh… ) as well as video + just fooling around with (concerts)

I want a good zoom, but it's not a MUST I can always upgrade lens later
I also would like the screen to swivel out, it to be fairly new not something that will be outdated quickly because I plan on keeping this for a long while. I already looked into the Canon t4i but I'm just not ready to pull thr plug on it yet does anyone have any other options/opinions? How does canon compare to Nikon? Thanks so much! Xx

The living room is a little dark because it is indoor, and the view outside of the window is bright. I want to have details on both dark area and light area as well on the photo. I don't have a flash.

Do all Cosina-made bodies share the same quality?

I mean, talking about 35mm SLR's, we all have heard that all Cosina-made bodies are similar if not the same in terms of quality and features… However, from the ones I've had the chance to handle with my own hands, this is not always true… Let me put the Nikon FM-10, the Canon T60, the Olympus OM-2000, the Vivitar V3000 and the Yashica FX-3 as examples.As weird as it might sound, from all these bodies I've 'felt' the FX-3 to be the best one, followed by the T60 and the OM-2000 and perhaps the FM-10, leaving behind the V3000 for several reasons of 'weight'…

Photography. How do I use an external flash?

So, I'm doing a school project, and I'm using an external flash. A vivitar 283 flash, to be precise. And, the teacher has not told us anything on how to use it, or what to do. Just, put it in the shoe, and start shooting. Now, I've looked everywhere on the internet, for how to use it, or how to use any external flash. I've had no luck. I also tried experimenting with it myself. And, that, unfortunately, didn't work. All of my pictures turned out completely white. Even when I turned the shutter speed up higher, to capture less light. That still didn't work. I turned the aperture down, and THAT didn't work. They still all turn out too white. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've also checked in the settings of the camera.It's a Nikon D3100.So, someone, please help me. I feel all alone!

Canon EOS 70d Announcement?

I have a nikon D5100, i currently use the basic lens it came with (18-55mm).
I take a lot of photos when me and my friends ride our horses in the indoor arena which has very poor lighting. The photos of the horses blur badly when the horses are doing more than standing still!
I'm not a professional or anything, but i'm just looking for something that will take decent, non-blurred pictures when cantering/jumping.
I have no idea what so ever the kind of price range these would be in so i may not be able to afford one, however my limit is around £200.
I wondered whether anyone could give me some more information or suggest any lenses i could do some research on (if it's even possible to buy any at this price!)
Thank you :) xx

Which brand has the sharpest lenses?

I'm about to buy a Nikon camera or a Canon. I haven't decided yet. The only thing that bothers me is the lenses cause I heard that Nikon has a very good and sharp glass.My thoughts are between the Nikon D600 and the Canon 6D.So what do you think should I go for and which glass is better?

Best lens for the Nikon d600?

I am going to be purchasing a Nikon d600 and a lens or two to start with. (And taking a photography course.) Mainly for portraits, some landscapes and action/sports. There are so many lenses out there and I don't know where to begin. Are the lenses that come in the bundles good? Or should I buy something separate? This is the bundle that I am looking at: (Nikon D600 24.3MP DSLR Camera, 24-85mm VR Lens with 70-300mm Telephoto Zoom Lens) There are other bundles out there, and I just want to make sure I make the right decision. Thanks!

Amateur photographer needs opinions?

I'm an amateur photographer, 23 years old from Long Island. I have two children so I use the minimal spare time that I have trying to advance my photography techniques. I only started photographing a little less than a year a go. I have a Nikon d70 and two Nikon lenses. I started taking lessons from a pro several months a go. I'm short on cash so I can only afford to see him for an hour once a month. Please can some people view my photos and give me both constructive criticism, tips, compliments and inspiration. I'd like to hear an objective point of view. You can view my photos on Instagram.My user name is photographer_mama
My newer photos are on Instagram. I also have some photos on Flickr but they're older shots, as I don't use it much.So if you have Instagram, I prefer you view those. Flickr.com/artsyphotoss

What are some Camcorders/Camera's Good for shooting Youtube videos?

I've been wondering for a while, since my friend and I are going to be starting a youtube channel, and we really need a good camera, Well I do. She has a really expensive Nikon camera thats almost $600, but I feel like it would be too big for shooting videos+ If I want to make one by myself, I can't. I think Im going to use a smaller Nikon camera then hers, but I don't know, any recomendations?

Does it matter spend 7300$ for Nikon D3X while D5200 is 6500$ cheaper?

Hi Folks,

Does it matter spend 7300$ for Nikon D3X while D5200 is 6500$ cheaper? I compared the main differences betwen both and it lands on the CMOS sensor size: 35, 9 x 24, 0mm (FX) for D3X and 23, 5 x 15, 6mm for D5200.

Is it really worth 6500$ in price for about 12 x 8 mm difference in sensor size?

Are there things i could achieve with D3X that i can't with D5200? I sincerely apologize if my question is too rookie, thats exactly what i am when it comes to professional photography.

Do I need to take the lense off my DSLR?

I only have one lense, is it okay to leave it attached to the body 24/7 or should I keep taking it off to store it?

What should be the next camera I buy?

I am a amateur photography slowly building up to being a pro. I currently use a Nikon d70. I'd like to remain Nikon. I just want something better than the one I have, but nothing really, really expensive. Eventually, I can get something REALLY nice, but for now I'm still in my learning phase, I guess you could say. Also, lens suggestions.
I'm also going to be looking into upgrading my editing software. Right now I'm using a Correl program, but most probably will go to Photoshop. Any suggestions? Remember that I only want something basic for now, I can buy something really nice once I have more profit coming in.
Thanks everyone!

Concert Photography/Buying a new DSLR HELP?

I've been trying to get into photography, especially concert photography.
Before you say anything I go to allot of indie alternative shows where they do let you bring in a DSLR, so that won't be an issue.

I'm a beginner so I'm looking for a starter camera, My choices right now are
- Canon Rebel XT that comes with only the 70-300mm lens, (note: that i will be very close to the stage if not right in front because I know the manager of the venue) I want to know if the 70-300 mm lens will do it's job or if i will be to close to even get a good shot considering I heard its a zoom in lens

-Nikon D40 with the original 18-55 lens that came with it,

I would love some feedback on which camera is better,
which one will do the job when it comes to indoor concerts, and tips about each of them, If you would like please suggest some other lenses, and advice when it comes to the ISO Indoors

I am a beginner so please don't say that I don't know what I'm doing, or that I should do my research, this is me doing my research and hopefully getting some feedback with people with experience.

Best SLR camera (UK)?

Hi, I'm looking to buy an SLR camera, this is the first time I've baught one myself, but have used friends cameras. I have been looking at the Nikon D5000 (can be baught in a package deal with the 18-55mm VR Lens for £464) Is this a good camera to go for. I have been told nikons are the best, there certainly seems a big price difference between this and the other one I looked at, the Canon PowerShot SX30 IS Digital Camera for £379!

I'd use the camera for the simple use of high quality photos, absract photography I'm interested in and I'm also looking to take part in a photography course in my spare time.Is this camera more for professionals? The nikon looks pretty user friendly but is it worth paying that much for a few extra gadgets that I may not even use? Would you recommend any other cameras?

Thanks for your help

Good Nikon or Canon Camera?

I've always wanted a bulkier camera to take pictures with. I'm not a photographer so i don't need anything too big. I'm Only saying Nikon or canon cause i know that's what most people get.last camera i had was just a little bigger than a normal camera and had 18 zoom with i forget how many megapixels.(something happened and they couldn't fix it and i had to get another camera with the warranty)

-has to be from best buy (b/c i have some store credit)
-most i would spend would be is around $300
- has to have good zoom (good for concerts)

some may say you cant take cameras to concerts but I've checked with the ones I'm going to, i can. Leave me recommendations and or links. Thanks !!

Plus let me know how the camera charges and takes film
Added (1). Hey Jim, thanks for the answer. I will most likely get the camera i used to have.It was a Nikon with 18 megapixels and 18-22 zoom and it costs around $300

Which camera to buy? - 1

I finally have enough cash to buy a camera and I'm utterly lost.
My first question:
What level of camera should I buy: entry, intermediate, or pro?
I know I want full manual, I want to be able to make my own presets (Canon) but I want a odd-bladed diaphragm (Nikkor).
FF or DOF?
Also, I'm hearing various things about Nikon-Canon lens compatibility. Some say that you can interchange and mix/match without any issues. However, I've also heard that there are issues with the mount so you have to use an adaptor thus messing up focus and focal length. Which is it? Because I would love a Canon body with a nikkor lens but only if it works well.

I have photography experience: I took a class last year and learned the specs and I've been told that I have a "good perspective", but I don't know if I could handle a pro camera, but I also don't want to be held back by an amateur camera especially when I advance to higher levels.

SO, main questions:
Entry level, intermediate, or pro?
Lenses: ef or ef-s and can nikkor be mounted onto canon with ease?
OH: and should I buy used or new? Used would mean I could buy an intermediate or pro, new would mean I could get a warranty on an entry level.Is it worth it to buy new? I don't really have a problem with losing/breaking things.

Thanks

Right now I have a Canon Rebel Xt but I have had it for a few years now, and I think that I'm at a point in my photographic career where I should invest in a higher quality camera. I'm slowly saving up money, so it's not like I can just buy the most expensive camera out there.

Can anyone suggest a DSLR that I can make larger prints with, has video and is not the most expensive/newest one out there? If anyone suggests Nikon or other brands, that's not a big deal, but I'm already used to Canon so that would be my preference.

Which is better? Nikon v. Cannon?

I am a beginner in photography. I often take pictures with our Fuji camera and everyone tells me that I get awesome photos and many of my family members say that I should take photography classes and maybe do it as a "side gig." I want to get a little more experienced and my mom said that I can get one of these two cameras. I just don't know which one to get. I have heard that they are both very awesome cameras but which one would be better with me? I like to capture pictures of nature. I also capture pictures of children and I like to take pictures while they are playing and things like that.So something that can capture moment without the blurriness would be nice. I take pictures of other things also. I also would like to get into event shooting. Weddings, parties, babies, kids, engagements, stuff like that.

What camera would work for me?

I currently use a Nikon D50 with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR. I lovvee this lens… I mainly shoot pictures of my dog, dogs I foster, and other dogs that come through the rescue I work with… I have also recently gotten into outdoor portraits, and wildlife(wildlife is the main reason I got a lens that would go to 200mm, and some day I want a lens that'll zoom even further). Some day I'm going to get 1 or more off-camera flashes and start working with backdrops and all that. Some day!
I almost never use the on-camera flash.
My D50 just can't handle noise well. Any picture taken at an ISO above 400 has to be trashed because it is way too noisy.

I'm planning to get a DSLR, Canon 5d mark 3 used or nikon d800 (new or used).
for example on Amazon, the seller wants to sell his Nikon d800 for 2400$ only. He wrote:
Used - Like New
Perfect condition, no scratches, no problems. Only used once indoors, took about 250 shots. Comes with all original accessories, manuals, packaging, box, etc. Includes unused warranty card. Only selling because I decided to stick with my d700.

i live in other continent, He's from the usa. How can i make sure that the DSLR is in perfect condition.

PS: i'm planning to get a used DSLR to save money for the (lenses, bag, uv filter, flash, cleaning kit,… )

my budget is 3600$ and i'm trying to assemble the perfect kit before buying all the items.

any suggestion? (advice for buying from a trustful resource, and cheap… )

Camera Phone advice - need both - no idea what to get?

I wanted to ask you what you think I should get for a camera or camera/phone that would be small enough to pocket and be able to take quality landscape photos when horseback riding for example that are able to be enlarged (most likely larger than 11 x 15) and still maintain high resolution. I need the camera also to x be able to take pics of my bakery cakes that I make. Any suggestions, as I am not tech savvy at all. I don't want to buy too much camera but no limits either. I was worried that the low megapixels (under 3) in the camera phones wouldn't work for enlarging. Can't lug around a bulky professional one riding horses or too my job, and really need a new cell phone anyway.

Something important is speed - I have a nikon and a canon powershot, and they take way to long to take the picture and be ready to take another.
