How to get small LCD screen connected to Raspberry Pi

[Markercartoons]

So I just got into building electronics and I have a raspberry pi and I want to connect a small screen to it to make it portable. Now I don't have any money because I'm in high school and don't have a job so I took an lcd from an old camera. The camera was the Vivitar DVR 410. It has an sd card reader, Usb, Camera lens and lcd screen. Is there a way to connect the lcd to the raspberry pi? And is there anything I can use the components for? Is there a way to connect the camera module to the raspberry pi as well? Thanks in advance

The Raspberry Pi has a dedicated screen port, I believe that's all you need. Are there any instructions that came with the screen?

The raspberry pi does have a screen port but its fits a different sized lcd screen cable. For some reason my cable isn't the same size as the screen port, I can try putting it in. But do you know if it will work the same even if the screen port fits larger lcd ribbon cable?

No clue to be honest, I've never used a Raspberry Pi screen with mine, just an old monitor I had lying around.

The connector on the Raspberry Pi is DSI (Digital Serial Interface) : https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/the-eagerly-awaited-raspberry-pi-display/

 

As I explained, that LCD is most likely using a parallel interface 8bit per transfer + some command wires.(clock, enable, read/write, backlight contrast etc) so the connectors are not compatible.

You can write code to drive the screen using the GPIO but like i said, it would be slow.
