Camera Computer Monitor Live View

When using Live View or just checking the sharpness of your last capture, getting a clear view of your camera screen is essential. Amazing difference using the HoodLoupe. Highly recommended.

A must have for the studio photographer. When using the live view mode, to view shot set up on a computer the 5DmarkII eats batteries like a starving wolf. With the adapter I can shoot all day with no worries.

Useful for extended live view work, in film or macro photography. Useful for when connecting to my computer and using ControlMyNikon software for extended periods of time.

Have used it for 3 or 4 live events so far, and am absolutely impressed with this little guy! It may look like a toy, but it works, and it is seemless. Has some cheesy effects, but some very cool features as well - Quad monitor view through one output is AWESOME. Even better, when you switch from one source to another, the quad monitor shows you how the dissolve/switch is going to look, and then reverts back to quad view. Haven't had a chance to use the audio mixer yet, but it may come in handy in a pinch. Bottom line: Small, easy to use, good value for the money.

Bought it for an old camera setup. Camera had no live view but did have video slot. Will not solve live view issues. Entire mount allows easy viewing.

The monitor is sturdy and produces a clear view. Blacks are somewhat compromised at and blooming is noticeable at the edges. Reds are noticeably oversaturated. With these minor complaints, the monitor works well and the KVM is a very good solution which helps reduce desktop clutter for people who work on their work computer during the day and play on their gaming computer at night.

I use the dark cloth with my D300 when I use the Live view .

As a first-timer in the DSLR world, this camera is amazing. You don't really have to learn much more than you would with a point-and-shoot...you just change the dial to take a pic at night, indoors, outdoors, etc. Not much to it really - and it's light enough to carry around wherever you go. The only two downsides I've found is in low-light conditions, like dusk...you sometimes have to play around with the options (night, low-light, etc.) to find the setting that takes the best picture. The other is with the live-view, it's a much slower focus than viewing through the lens, but you're probably taking more photos looking through the lens than you are the live-view, so this might be a moot point. This being my first DSLR, I probably just don't know enough about the settings to choose the right one. Overall, it's a great camera (video is superb too) and would definitely recommend it.

Great quality monitor. I haven’t really used as a computer monitor yet. As a bedroom television it is almost perfect. I can get live tv via YouTube tv and loads of shows and movies via various streaming apps.

I rented this camera back in 2020. It had issues showing correct exposure for some of my lenses. Some were Nikon manual lenses. I decided to retry it and so far so good thanks to a firmware update. There has been a lot of hate on this camera but I honestly love it. I’ve seen reviews were some have questioned what photographer is going to hold the camera out in front of them to use the live view but the z8 and 9 are way bigger than this one. I’m excited to finally have such a useful live view in a Nikon dslr. I love that I can finally dial in directly for my long exposures. I love that I can turn on silent view and it’s silent, finally. I love, love, love the insane battery life even while using the live view frequently. I have been researching all my options for mirrorless but that low battery life for a camera with so many features that do more and more and at a much higher cost just was not a good fit for me, this camera is. The technology in this system is amazing while still allowing me to see my subject directly and connect with which I struggled with with some mirrorless cameras. Comparing autofocus with Sony a7iii and taking portraits of my dogs running towards me, insane auto focus. It never missed, but I was watching the auto focus and not really connecting with them. With the d810, d850 and now the d780. I may miss a few but the joy of when I got it was missing with a camera that just went ahead and nailed it. Everyone is different and the best camera for everyone is not the same but I am so glad I gave this one a second chance. It’s an amazing camera and with it finally going on sale I’m not spending more money on features that I enjoy controlling and I can also repurchase some of my favorite lenses.
