Hooking D70 up to computer while shooting in Studi


Looking to go High tec in my tiny studio and would like to hook up my D70 to a computer screen to view the images instantly on the screen. Can someone tell me what the logistics are behind this? I am blind to this so any help is huge. Do I need a special PC system? Special software? Special connectors? HELP PLEASE... :>0

  I sure that there is a way to connect it to the computer, but if your only purpose is to veiw them, then hooking the camera up to a TV would be much easier. It should only require an A/V cable(usually supplied with your camera), and your manual should tell you how.

  Nikon Capture will do exactly what you want. You can download it free (30-day trial) from the Nikon website. It's about $99 if you want to keep it. Set the D70 for USB output instead of storing to the compact flash card (look in your manual). Works well with my D50. I think Bibble (another software program from Bibble Labs) will also do this, but it's a little more expensive ($129??) and probably more complicated to use. Of course you will need the USB cable that came with the D70, and a computer with a USB port. The Nikon website will tell you what the minimum CPU speed, RAM, etc. you will need to run Capture. It really isn't very hard to do. Good luck.
