How to film from my Nikon but show up on my Macbook Pro?

I want to film a video for my YouTube channel but I want to be able to see what I'm filming, whether the camera is focused or not and whether it's in a good position for the lighting to be good. I want to know if there is some way I can hook it up to my MacBook Pro so that I can see what's filming on my Mac without having to use mirrors to see what's on the camera. Is there a special lead I need to get or is it something I have to do in Final Cut Pro X? Cheers.
Added (1). It's a Nikon D3300 and a Macbook Pro.

What DPI is okay for large scale printing?

Hello, I have recently displayed some of my photography in a gallery for the first time. I only printed relatively small prints at 300dpi which with my 18mp camera was around A3 size. I know the best resolution for print is 300dpi but many other exhibitors images were huge A2+ sized. With my 18MP camera or in fact even a very high end Canon/Nikon SLR that has a similar number of MP it would mean printing at around 200dpi or lower for A2+ sized images.

My question is how low can I go with the dpi? I understand in a gallery you are viewing them from a distance but even so these huge images were still quite sharp close up. I guess they may have been shot with a film camera. I would experiment with sizes if I had a large scale printer myself however it costs a lot to get a large print done so I can't afford to experiment, it would be nice to have some opinions from fellow photographers.

Thanks in advance.

How big of an upgrade is this?

i have been bluntly hinting to my husband that i Really want a dslr for my birthday, which was yesterday

i want to get serious about photography and you just cannot without a serious camera in my view

so, my wonderful hubby went out and bought me a Nikon D7100 with an 18 to 105 lens as well as a 55 to 200 and 85mm micro to go with it. ( i like sports, wildlife, and macro photos)

my previous camera was a Sony NEX 5r, nice camera but nothing like this

how big of an upgrade is that do you think and what tips / advice can you give me for the dslr world?

happy girl here:)

Tips for black & white / monochrome photography?

I have really gotten into monochrome photography

it seems to me that not all of the same rules would apply given there is no color obviously

but just wondering, what are some b & w photography basics / tips?

my D7100 calls it "monochrome" under picture control settings yet a b & w" message blinks when i am taking the picture, so apparently Nikon does not recognize any difference between the two, just wondering if you can?

Speedlight for Nikon?

Hi, Im looking for a Speedlight for my Nikon camera since I do portrait photography, but I cant afford the really expensive SB-800s and so on, so I looked around and found the Yongnuo YN-565EX. However, it said "for Nikon SB-800, SB-900, etc". Does this mean it has to be the slave for an SB-800 or such? Or can I use it on the camera on its own. Thanks

No time to upgrade? Do you agree?

a fellow photographer i converse with from time to time suggested i upgrade to a full frame camera like the D610 for example

i said, although i have taken big strides in photography over the past year that i was not ready for that big of a plunge

i still am figuring out all my D7100 can do

i feel my photography overall is still well into the amateur stage and not ready for the pro FX side yet, plus, to be honest, i think the full frame benefits are a bit overrated / exaggerated, but as i say i am not a pro so i may see differently in time

NOW, if Nikon comes out wiht an improved D7200 i may do that, but not full frame… Yet!

so, what do you think, good decision, hold off until i master the DX and then move on up?

BONUS Q: just wondering, how many pro photographers shoot with DX? A lot, or is it mostly FX?
