A duplicate :-) May 26, 2008

A classic Japanese.
Copied from Europeans but made to be way more reliable & more inexpensive.
Something like Mercedes & Toyota or BMW & Mitsubishi.. etc.
I've been using Sinar's & Nikon's (Nikon keeps on changing names though) for years, the latter copies the first but runs trouble free with flying colors big time...
I can't say the same about Sinar's CaptureShop unfortunately. Been nothing but agony & is Mac only.
Excellent software but... February 1, 2008

I wasn't sure about this. I shoot portraiture photography and have seen how other similar software, Leaf Capture and Canon's Remote Capture performs. What captured my interest (pardon the pun) was of course the advantage of being able to see the images on PC immediately. To finally have the ability to verify 100% of the time that focus, exposure, lighting, and of course composition were all the way I wanted them.....which means great shots all the time, ditching the bad ones immediately, and little to no time in post processing.
The Leaf and Canon software I have seen in use ran very fast which is absolutely important here. How useful would any of this be if when shooting tethered to the PC the pictures started stacking up or heaven forbid froze the computer?
So I downloaded a trial copy from Nikon first. I am pleased to say it runs fast. Previews pop up on screen in no more than one second, even when shooting tif on my D300 which are 35MB files. What pleased me even more is that it ran equally fast on my notebook computer which does not have near the processor or graphics power of my desktop PC.
You are managing 3 windows when working with your camera tethered to the PC. There is a preview window that is resizable showing the images very quickly. It can be configured for different magnifications, single frame view or filmstrip view. A second, smaller, window shows a histogram and download status of the files as they are coming in. The third window is a camera control window that allows remote triggering and access to all on camera settings and menus. If you have a Nikon D3 or D300 you can also work in Live View on screen in both the handheld and tripod modes. Finally found a use for the Live View I suppose; which up until now I have found to be an extremely over hyped useless feature on the new Nikons.
So........what's the "but" all about in the title of my review you ask? Leaf and Canon give their remote capture software to their customers when they lay out thousands of dollars. This seems to be a notion that Nikon hasn't seen fit to subscribe to, yet.
So that is my complaint. I can really use this software or I would never have purchased it. It performs very good and is very useful, but Nikon customers should not have to purchase something like this after they laid down 2000 to 5000 dollars for a camera.
