camera to laptop

[chassyp]

I wonder if there is a way to fasten a laptop to a camera!!
I`m not a techno but I have a Nikon slr. I often am asked when on a shoot if people can see what I have done. Its not the best results through the camera so wondered if attaching a laptop would be possible. I know I can stick the card in and show that way but really require a quicker mode if you know what I mean.. I hope this makes sense. Regards.

Thanks for that. Yea I see what you mean, however I perhaps didn`t explain myself properly, my fault ooops!! What I really want to do is be able to shoot a photo whilst connected to my pc. If I connect my camera to my laptop at the moment it only recognises it as an external drive, but wont allow me to use the camera. I want to be able to shoot and allow others to whatch on pc.
Regards.

my fuji comes with an app to transfer files to the PC .... also to use it as a webcam ..... and to control the camera from a pc via a usb link ..... this also gives a full screen preview .... but it's "lumpy" trailing wires etc - and the time to transfer more that a couple of files ......

personally I use a card reader and just "whip it out and stick it in" when ppl ask to see

I can do it with my Fuji 3200 via the TV so I'd assume it's a simple case of getting the correct lead for the laptop
