Live Camera Rear View Mirror

These radios are amazing. Installed in my Jeep above my rear view mirror and I am stoked about it. It’s small enough to not be in the way but is great for communicating with fellow Jeep’s. I used the ghost antenna so that it didn’t get wiped out by limbs on the trail. I’m thinking of purchasing the 6db antenna to help increase my range. I feel you can’t go wrong with this radio! Will be purchasing another for my sons Jeep.

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.

This is my second dash camera from Garmin. I use it for a rear view. The size is phenomenal. It doesn't attract attention. Very good software. Voice commands are very well designed and functional. It syncs with the front camera and works very well with the parking cable. The image quality is pretty good.. Higher resolution would require a lot more disk space.

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.

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.

In the mid-1980s I bought a Nikon 7.5mm f5.6 circular fisheye. Being an older design (1966) its rear elements protruded into the mirror box. Fortunately my F3 had a hard physical mirror lockup. The external viewfinder for this lens attached to the camera on the original Nikon F/F2’s proprietary flash shoe. I was able to buy an AS-3 flash adapter for the F3. With the F3s mirror locked up I also had to use an hand-held light meter. With amazing depth of foield focusing was never an issue. The old zoom lens had six filters on a wheel. One was a skylight and the other five were strongly colored for B&W film. While I liked the circular results, using the lens was a hassle. I often had my shoes or forehead in the picture. On a sunny day, my images suffered from solar flares. My new Nikon 8-15mm AF-S fisheye has none of those old problems. It fits on my DSLRs without any problem. It doesn’t need an external finder or separate light meter. At the 8mm setting (and lens hood off) I get a circular image very much like the vintage fisheye. The new lens is faster and focusable. Like my 14mm f2.8 Nikkor, this zoom uses gel filters inserted in the rear of the lens. I really don’t like this arrangement. This fisheye is similar in weight and size to the 14mm lens. I am also not fond of the electronic aperture control first seen on G lenses. Without an aperture ring one cannot use this zoom on older cameras. At the longer end of the zoom range (12-15mm) the image fills the (FX) frame and lens hood stays out of the way. This image is similar to my inexpensive Bower (Samyang?) 8mm fisheye with its fixed lens hood (and DX coverage). So far I haven’t used my new lens much but I think I will like it.

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.

Olympus have came a long way with their live view relatively large sensors camera. I wanted the EP1 when they first came out but I decided to wait and I'm glad I waited. Focus is fast enough for what I use the camera for. The combination of IS and the lack of mirror really helps eliminates blurry images. The dials are much smaller than my E420 which takes a little bit of getting used to, and the functions that you can choose to assign to the function buttons are limited. One of my concern when making the purchase is the focus speed with the 17/2.8 lens because from my understanding, the zoom lens would be alot quicker than this lens, but this lens is not slow at all. Which is a great relief. Would definitely make this purchase again.

I bought this filter for taking pictures of the sun during the August eclipse. I took it outside the other day to practice and see exactly how it would work. I am using a Canon EOS 70D with a Canon 100-400mm lens and 1.4 Extender. I used the Live View feature on the camera with manual focus. The camera's ability to magnify the focus area was a great feature. My camera did not like to autofocus on the sun so manual focus was the rule. The magnification made it easy to get a proper focus. The filter worked great. I have some other things that I want to try with the filter. I had read reviews that said that some of the filters do not screw into the lenses very well. This one fits very well, probably better than any other filter I have. This filter is NOT approved for direct viewing of the sun, you have to use Live View.
