This version has been available on the Nikon site for about 3 weeks. I know because I delayed purchasing my D3 until Nikon came up with a version of CCP2 that worked under Leopard, and I've had the camera for about 3 weeks. Both the program and the camera work fine for me.

Had a discussion in January with a Nikon tech rep who told me that Nikon takes so long to respond to new OSes because "their team goes out and buys a new OS the day the Apple releases it". I suggested that they should participate in Apple's developer program so they would get pre-release copies and could start earlier. He assured me that there was no such program...

As most digital photographers today are aware, it's such a hassle to take the camera out of the bag, set the aperture, set the shutter speed, set the mode, and so on, and to have to do it all... manually! P-l-e-a-s-e tell me what is "automatic," what is "computerized", what is "digital" about that? Unless digital means fingers, photography in the "digital age" is still so gosh darn... labor-intensive and hands-on!

Well, that's what I love about this app. As long as I remember to leave the lens cap off the lens, and the lens on the camera, I can pretty much take shots without ever handling the camera at all! My shiny new Nikon D3 is such a heavy beast, especially loaded with the batteries and a 17-35 mm AF-S or a 80--400 mm VR lens, that it's just easier to shoot this way, without ever touching the camera at all.

Of course things were different back in the days of a little FE2 with a 50mm lens, but there's just no going back. Anyway, thanks to Nikon Camera Control Pro, from the comfort of my Herman Miller office chair I have taken a fantastic series of shots of the inside of my camera bag which I am hoping to have published by a well known photography magazine soon.
