Q. Hi, I would deeply appreciate if someone could help me. I'm shooting a documentary with Nikon D800 but I can't seem to make a zoom in while I'm filming, or zoom to get extreme close ups.
I would deeply appreciate the help :)
Thanks :)

A. Extreme close ups will require you to use a macro lens like the 105 mm f/2.8 so you can maintain some distance from the subject
Zooming is rarely used when shooting video. The zoom lens is used to crop the frame without needed to move the camera, rarely anything else
When you see a video that is full of "zooms" it shows that the director is not an experienced video shooter.
Think of a zoom in the script as an exclamation point. After while , too many !!!!!!!! get boring and you lose your audience.
Take a look at this video shot using an older Nikon D7000. After viewing it with the sound off, look at your video script again and try to remove all but one or two zooms.

While the director of this video used three zoom lenses and one prime, you will not see any zooming going on (but for a very short few seconds at the end)
Most of the camera movements are either dolly's, pans, jib shots and a couple aerial shots using a small remote controlled helicopter.
EDIT: What accessories do you have? Do you have a Loupe similar to this?

Here are some more links to the kinds of accessories you will eventually want if you intend to shoot video using a dSLR

i have canon t1i. I confused to upgrade my camera to one of 5D markiii or nikon D800. help me please?
Q. i have this lenses canon 85 f1.8, canon 15- 85mm f3.5-5.6, canon18-55 , canon 55-250. Is Nikon d800 better than canon 5d markiii? if its better is it that much to i change all of this.
A. Given that you really don't have much investment in lenses, I think you could upgrade to either camera.
There isn't a tremendous difference between the two in terms of image quality. Both are going to produce excellent images that will blow up easily to 40X60 prints. I would try both of them and see which one feels better in your hand and has more intuitive controls.

I need some advice on what software I should buy for editing digital photographs?
Q. I am not a professional; I have a Nikon D800 and shoot Raw. I don't shoot hundreds of pictures at a time. Cost is not particularly an issue, but dont want to waste money either. Thanks
A. Photoshop Elements does 90% of what full blown Photoshop CS6 does & will probably do all you'll ever need. Costs less than £100.
Should buy a new camera or lens?
Q. I'm thinking to buy a Nikon D800 or a 14-24mm lens, I've a D300s right now, but due to the budget I can only afford one of them...
Does anyone can give me a suggestion on which one I should buy?

A. lens last forever. but if you see something that d800 has in improving your image quality, that its worth going camera rather than lens.
i am thinking on upgrading because new camera has higher than 1600 iso, new camera will give me flexibility of max 25600 iso,
