How to connect my Nikon D40x usb port to the Firewire 400 port in my Macbook?

I want to use the Application 'Image Capture' on my Macbook but for image Capture to work i need to connect my Camera (Nikon D40x) via firewire, but my camera doesnt have a firewire port, all it has is a small USB port and a v-out port. Is there any way for it to connect? Firewire to usb maybe? Or are there any Firewire adapters (might be making those up) about that would in anyway connect to the camera?

How much should I sell my Nikon D7200 (w/18-140 lens) for?


Im thinking about selling my Nikon D7200 with an 18-140 kit lens included. I paid roughly $1800 for it, during a boxing day sale this year. I bought the camera in early December and I've used it a fair bit since then. I've taken very good care of the camera and it's in excellent condition. I thinking of selling it to help pay for my tuition this semester, so I'll need to be able to get a reasonable, but good price for it.

Does this make any sense?


I've upgraded from dx to fx, including going from the Nikon D7100 to the D750, freaking awesome camera!

Anyway, the specs said that the 750 had nearly the same
Burst rate as the 7100, about 6.5 fps

Well, I'm getting Way more than that. I put it on continuous high, hold the shutter button and get off a good 12 shots in rapid machine gun succession before the camera slows down.

Same sandisk extreme sd card as well

I put the same sd card in the 7100 and nowhere near as good

So, what's the deal?

Nooooo, I'm not complaining, lol just the opposite, but I'm just wondering what else could explain this?

What kind of camera/camcorder is best for birth videography?


I am already a photographer, but am considering getting into videography. I have a Nikon D90 that shoots video, but that's it since my d700 doesn't. Thinking about buying a HD camcorder or something of the sort. Any suggestions are appreciated!

I need some advice on Water Resistant, Long-Term camera bags?


I plan on traveling for the next few years throughout the US and Canada, and I need a camera bag that's going to get me through it all. I'll be camping, hiking, swimming, kayaking, spelunking, etc.

Size: I'm a small person (5'3 at 120 lbs) so one of my biggest concerns with shopping for these bags is getting my spine crushed. I have a Nikon camera, 4 lenses, and a tripod. I would very much like to be able to fit a Macbook in the bag when needed, and other things like snacks/sunblock. But I can't deal with a behemoth bag. I'd like something with good structure so it doesn't hurt my back while hiking.

Functionality: I need the best in water resistant materials. I'd rather pay $400 for a bag once than replace thousands of dollars worth of gear. I'm not careless with my gear in the least bit, but I don't want to take chances. I love how the Lowepro Dryzone 200 even FLOATS, but that goes back to my first concern of being too much of a burden to carry. I need something that will last and doesn't scream "I'm full of $$$" (another reason why I lost interest in Lowepro Dryzone 200).

The one I'm currently looking at is Whistler BP 350 AW by Lowepro.

It looks pretty good (size-wise), but I'm not sure it's as watertight as I need…

Messenger bag recommendations? 1x dslr w/lens attached, 1x lens, 1x flash?


Hi,

Any recommendations for a shoulder bag (messenger-type) that's small but can fit:

1x pro-size dslr (Nikon D750 with battery grip) with an attached medium sized zoom
1x extra medium sized zoom
1x flash

And a pocket to fit documents.

I've been looking at the ThinkTank Retrospective 7 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/859431-REG/Think_Tank_749_Retrospective_7_Shoulder_Bag.html but it's expensive.

Thank you!

Safe to shoot non-weathersealed lens during snowfall?


Hi,

My dslr is weathersealed but my lens is NOT weathersealed.

Outside, there are heavy winds and lots of snow, so there's snow hovering around in all directions. Can I safely shoot my setup outside (ground level, just environment portraits) with no damage to the lens and body? I'm not sure if I'm being overly cautious.

How about if there was minimal wind but just some snow falling? I would rather ask for input rather than assume.

For reference:
dslr: Nikon D750
lens: Zeiss 28mm f/2

Thank you!

Why did USSR cameras NOT have a meter embedded unto the camera?


There's the Zenit E, which isn't coupled with the camera.

Meter is attached on top (selenium) and then external readings.

Why didn't they have automated CDS meters in the 80s?

Audio out of TV (headphone jack) into Nikon D3300 audio in for video?


I would like to be able to come from the headphone jack (audio out) and put it into the audio in on my D3300? I don't want to blow any speakers in my camera.
