Shooting Directly to Lap Top

[newbie1]

<p>I am wishing to shoot directly to my laptop for viewing and setting up shots. I have heard of several programs. What is the easiest and best for this. I have a Nikon D300. Thank you for your response</p>

<p>Nikon's Camera Control Pro is a solid contender with your camera in mind. You can download a free trial from Nikon and see what you think. You might get some more specific feedback if you mention what computing platform and operating system version you're on.</p>

<p>Breeze Systems DSLR Capture Pro is very solid. I use it in my studio and recommend it.</p>

<p>Thank you both...As you can tell by my photography I have been trying to step away from the street as I had ventured too close and it took a mental tool on me..I have been studying lighting, studio, everything I can get my hands on so my venture into a studio work will be postive and with quality. Many, well, all, of the workshop instructors and photographers I have been working with since the first of the year seriously use their laptop in all of their set up and their final photograph. It is remarkable. I wanted to hear from you your opinion on the best program to use.</p>

<p>Thank you<br>
