New Nikon Camera

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?

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 film lenses will behave like longer lenses on digital bodies, due to the 1.5x crop factor of the smaller sensor.

I got a new camera - yay! Interested in buying my old one?? email me:: ellisha@shadesofhonie.com Tell me how you like the quality! website: www ...

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 Rebel XT?

Thanks.

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 long tele of choice is an older Nikon 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6 AF Nikkor. There are zero compatibility problems with my current digitals. This is one of Nikon's strong points, as there is a longer history of compatibility than almost any other DSLR maker.

Just a reminder, except for the new D3, with it's full-frame sensor, all other Nikon DSLR's have a 1.5 crop factor, effectively giving your lenses different perspectives in the digital world. Your 70-210mm becomes a 105-315mm and your 35-70mm, becomes a 53-105mm.

As for your last question, yes, you can use an adaptor for a "Canon" XT.

Hope this helps.

I just got a new Nikon this past weekend, and I'm new to photography. I just want a few helpful tips for using this camera.
Also, I'm familiar with the portrait setting and most of the others, but when taking action or sports photos how should i adjust the settings?
Any help would be nice, thanks.

My camera is a Nikon CoolPix L4 ( i know it´s a little bit old, although it´s the one I got).
I bought a 4Gb SD memory card from the brand "Dane EleC", it cost me a reasonable amount, and I was very happy, until I turn on the camera with the card in, and it says very clearly: " THIS CARD CANNOT BE USED". I wonder if the card is too large. Can anyone give me a hint?

That model does not read the newer SDHC format cards. As a result, you are limited to cards no larger than 2GB, the largest standard SD card capacity. The SDHC cards use a slightly different file allocation. Cameras using this can read the older SD cards, but cameras without the newer standard can not read the newer cards.

I understand the camera has served you well and is capable of serving you for more years. However, you may want to look at some newer models with more features such as image stabilization, face and smile detection, etc.

i got a new camera, was playing around with the two lenses and the lens adapter, and now i can't get the lens adapter and the lens apart. on the camera, there's a button to detach the lens. it's a nikon em slr, if that helps.

Call Nikon at (800) NIKON-UX and see if they can help you.
