If you want to drastically improve your video quality for Zoom meetings or live streams, you don't need a dedicated webcam. Here is exactly how to connect your Nikon DSLR (including the D3000, D5000, and D7000 series) to your computer using USB or an HDMI capture card.
A collection of photos I've taken with a Nikon D5500 to give an idea of how it performs in real-world shooting conditions.
My name is David Coleman, and this is my site. I take photos for a living. Seven continents. Dozens of countries. Up mountains. Underwater. And a bunch of places in between. I'm based in Washington, D.C.
This site is where I post practical photography help, tips, and troubleshooting.
All posts and reviews on this site are written by me. And I only review gear with which I have personal hands-on experience. By a photographer, for photographers. More about me.
