I have a Minolta A2,and a Nikon D70,they both came with cables to view the photos on a TV screen (via the phonetic plugs) as you shoot them,does anyone know of a place that sells cables that maybe have a USB end for these cameras that I can use with my laptop to allow me to view the photos as I take them?
You can just about but such cables at any store selling electronics. Not to plug any particular store, but as an example, 'Best Buy,' 'Office Depot,' 'Circuit City,' 'Wolf Camera,' or a multitude of on-line camera equipment stores.
I bet Minolta's and Nikon's web sites even have places for you to order accesories for their brands.
