Will the lens of an old nikon camera work on one of the new digital cameras?
[2008-12-04 11:46:23]

Q: I have a nikon 8008s camera with three lens for it. If I buy a new nikon digital camera will these lens work on the new camera?

A: Lenses for an F801/8008 would all be Ai or AF/AF-D. They would almost certainly NOT be AF-I/AF-S (the F801/8008 can't operate the autofocus motor in AF-I/AF-S lenses). They would mount on any Nikon digital body.

The two gotchas would be:

1. Ai lenses (except for the fairly uncommon Ai-P lenses which are actually AF-D lenses without autofocus) would get no metering on anything except the D1/2/3 or D200/300/700.

2. AF/AF-D lenses would not autofocus on a D40/D40x/D60

Another important thing to note: Except on a D3/D700 all your...

Nikon COOLPIX S80 14.1 Megapixel Compact Digital Camera Launched ...

Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera has the dual-texture design that combines a shiny aluminum coating with a silky rubber coating to give the camera an elegant look and feel.

The Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera features a widescreen 3.5-inch electrostatic OLED touch panel with a wide viewing angle. Compared to the approximately 288k-dot monitor built into its predecessor – the Nikon COOLPIX S70 digital camera, the Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera LCD display offers resolution increased to approximately 819k-dots.

In addition, the Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera is also equipped with a variety of Nikon technologies, including a monitor with an incorporated touch mechanism, which is an on-cell touch panel, and a thin right-angled optics zoom lens, which help to make the 16.5-mm (approx.) slim camera more compact and portable.

Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera offers effective pixel count of 14.1 million pixels and features a 5x optical zoom NIKKOR lens.

The Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera comes equipped with an approximately 819k-dot widescreen 3.5-inch OLED touch panel monitor with a wide viewing angle. The high-resolution full-wide VGA OLED monitor makes shooting, viewing and sharing photos more enjoyable.

The OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) monitor directly expresses the strength of lighting and clearly reproduces dark portions in photos of night landscapes and the like with high contrast and with a display gamut roughly 150% that of the sRGB color space, photo display is clear and vivid down to the finest details. In addition the 180° wide viewing angle enables clear viewing of the monitor display from nearly any angle.

Nikon COOLPIX S80 Compact Digital Camera features a new integrated circuit (IC) for faster processing that allows the S80 to respond faster to touch panel operations than its predecessor, the S70.

The electrostatic touch panel keeps up with touch panel operations for a more natural and intuitive feel and just as with the predecessor Nikon S70 camera, the majority of Nikon COOLPIX S80 camera operations can be performed via the touch panel.

Prizmo for Mac turns your camera into a scanner CNET

Have you always wanted a scanner, but held back because of size and cost? Do you have a Mac and a digital camera? Then good news: Prizmo for Mac offers a good enough solution to let accomplish most of your scanning needs without the extra hardware.

The $40 software, made by Belgium-based Creaceed, has long been offered as an alternative to the pack-in software that often comes with flatbed scanners. Its latest version sports three handy features, one of which can turn your digital camera into a very powerful text-archiving tool.

The first new feature is camera tethering. This lets you attach a tether-ready SLR or point-and-shoot to your computer, then have the app automatically import the shot as you take it. There's not a whole lot of user dialogue here to let you know your camera is attached. In my test, I simply connected my Nikon D90 (which does not feature USB mass storage support) and began taking photos, and it did the rest.

Users can also grab photo files from their hard drives, or from a camera that's attached in USB mass storage mode, although I found the latter a little jittery when trying to browse for a single file on a crowded memory card. The app would only let me see the top 40 shots or so, and I couldn't scroll down--a problem I didn't have when browsing the same set of files from a USB-powered memory card reader.

Can I use a Nikon 35mm camera lens with any Nikon Digital Camera?

I've got a lot of great Nikon lenses but want to up grade to a digital camera. Can I get any Nikon Digital Camera to use with these lenses? My understanding is that most F-mount lenses are compatible with newer models.

Can I fit my old Nikon lenses onto a new digital camera with or without an adaptor?
[2008-02-23 08:57:40]
A New Day Has Come

The Lenses I have are:
Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 D Zoom-Nikkor
Nikon AF 35-70mm f/2.8D

Could they be adapted to a new Nikon digital camera? If so, what models?

Also, would it be possible to somehow use an adapter to put them onto the Cannon Digital...


I currently have used my older Nikon AF lenses with success on my D50, D70, and D200 with no problem. The only exceptions to that full compatibility rule would be the current D40, D40x, or D60, as they lack the internal autofocus motor and must be manually focused.

Right now, my...
