As an beginner to photography im having alot of fun with trial and error out in the feild with my camera,

I was thinking of ways in which i could really get a good look in detail at my photos there and then rather than waiting when i get home to dowload to my pc and thinkin aww i though that was a good one but i missed ...such and such.

So my question is does anyone know if you can connect a camera straight to a digital photo frame as this would be ideal for me to just see those pictures in a little more detail when im having a break or just slighlty unsure.

I know u can get one with rechargable batteries and my camera obv has a usd connection but im not sure if the would be compatibal in this way?

thank you

Don't most digital photo frames have card readers in them these days? You could just remove the memory card from the camera to view your pictures on a bigger screen.
 
Learn about the histogram and blinkies. Look at this to determine your shots on the back of the camera.
 
Depending on your camera, it may be possible to link a portable monitor to the camera but it's a lot of faffing about for not a lot of benefit.
 
Many cameras have the ability to control them from a laptop with specific software. You can then use live view and use the laptop screen as the viewfinder.
 
Exposure could be bang on but focus out! Although you can zoom into the image on our camera to check that
 
Get a photo storage/viewer device, like the ones made by Epson.

I bought a second hand Epson P2000 photo viewer on here for £90, and whilst it's quite slow to click through each photo, it's invaluable as a back up device when you're on hols etc, and you can take a good look at each shot on a slightly larger screen and decide if it's worth keeping or not.

You can then re-format your card safe in the knowledge that your days shots are safely stored (as long as you don't lose the storage device of course!).

They're not cheap new. The P2000 is quite a few years old now. Think it was about £350 new back then, and there are much better versions of it out now which are pretty pricey
 
what camera do you have?, for me the lcd gives me a pretty good idea how my shots will look on my monitor

None of the cameras do that very well - unless you use the histogram.
 
You say 'trial and error' - are you using green box auto? If so, sometimes what you see with your eye is not what the camera captures. If your images don't reflect what you saw, or what you wanted to capture, you'll need to explore deeper. There's only so much point and shoot can do. Sign up for a photography course and learn more about the 'technical' side of photography to help you take control of your camera.

Nice of the OP to acknowledge all the help

There's no need for that. If you haven't got anything constructive to say, it's better not to say anything.

Whilst I agree with Stewart, there seem to be a lot of forum newbies, who will ask a question, or introduce themselves on the WELCOME Forum, and yet doesn't seem to come back. :shrug:

Actually, I have had something constructive to say actually. See my reply to the question. I spent time looking up what photo viewer I have, how much I paid for it, and researched how much it would gave cost me new. I'd say that was pretty constructive actually thanks.

It's just annoying when someone asks a question, people take time to help as much as they can, but there's no sign of a response back from the OP
