Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 Software Full Version for Nikon DSLR Cameras (cd-rom)

I called myself researching the software before making my purchase. Part of the way I base my decision to purchase or not is to read the "middle of the road" reviews. Because "reviews" are typically subjective, I use them more as a means of getting an idea for what I'm considering than allowing it to influence my decision to buy or not. Ordinarily, if reviews influence that decision, is because there is an overwhelming preponderance one way or the other. With many items, especially computer software, there are way too many other "unknowns" that can affect performance... computers are all operational based on the individual/s using them and can effect software performance or lack thereof. After purchasing the Nikon's "Camera Control Pro 2.0," I went back and read the rest of the reviews. I received the disk today and my experience has been no where even remotely close to the negative comments I read. To wit:1) "When I bought a new computer, it wouldn't let me install the program on the new computer using the installation key..."When I installed the free/trial versions of Nikon's software originally, I kept the programs updated every time the Message Center notified me of an update or upgrade. Having read the comments about the disk being an older program and not a more current version, I did have some reservations. However, in the process of running the install program, it detected that I had a newer version already installed and installation of the disk version was stopping. I launched the version I already had on my computer, used the Product Key that came with the disk and it activated the newer version with absolutely no issues. That was on my laptop. I did the exact same thing on my desktop system with the exact same results. Both systems are 64-bit running Windows 10 Professional.2) "The 64-bit version wouldn't run but I could run the 32-bit version without problems."For people experiencing this and other computer related issues, I have to wonder if they actually read the information on the back of the box. For example:"Both 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista & Windows 7 are supported, however the software operates as a 32-bit version under a 64-bit environment."3) I have three (3) cameras which some people are saying they have problems with the software recognizing them. All three of them, Nikon D7100, D5200 and D3200 appear to run flawlessly in the newer version of the software on both laptop and desktop. By the way; on the back of the box, the system requirements for using the software require Intel processors (those are the only processors listed). My laptop is running an AMD A6 processor.My only negative regarding the software is the price. Paying $150-$180 for this program seems a tad steep but, I paid it and I'm happy with my purchase.Bottom line: IF your computer/s meet at least the minimum requirements for running the software and your cameras & computers are properly maintained, you should have little if any difficulty running the software. Price is a bit high but, if you're running Nikon equipment, it will behoove you to consider the Nikon software.

This program is really slick. If a client wishes to see images, you can show them right on the spot - that way you can make adjustments on the job so you and your customer know what they want and are getting. You can also set it up to save your images to your hard drive as you shoot so you have redundancy for added peace of mind. I use this program with my D300 and it works flawlessly.

I bought Nikon Camera Control Pro 2 to use with a Nikon D700 to shoot tabletop projects and portraits. I installed it on a 17-inch laptop running Windows 7. The installation was a bit strange for a current software package. First, I was amazed by the "unknown publisher" on the installation - Nikon can't afford a digital certificate? Second, it seems to install twice, but the first pass installs an older version of Microsoft C++ redistributable.The user interface is the first MDI application I've seen in more than ten years and it is really clumsy, with multiple windows doing sort of the same thing. The design shows no evidence of stepping back and thinking about how a photographer would actually use something called Camera Control.To be fair, software's functionality is pretty much as advertised. You can shoot tethered and control the camera from a computer. However, the capture and rendering of RAW files feels very slow, which will limit its application.Bottom line, the software has a $5 amateur 1992 Windows 3 shareware look and feel, not a $199 from one of the top professional DSLR makers. As other reviews have noted here, Camera Control should be given away with the DSLRs. I feel a bit of a chump paying even the excellent Amazon price for such an unrefined package.

I received this program at the beginning of October 2010. It is version 2.0 and I have since learned that version 2.8.0 is available. I thought I was getting the latest program, but obviously Amazon.com was not aware that there were three or four versions after mine. What's up with this? Is this a way to get rid of old stock?Also, even though Windows 7 recognizes my Nikon D300s being connect via the USB port, Camera Control Pro 2 state "no camera was detected."

È un software che conosco da anni, si è sempre rinnovato e aggiornato gratuitamente ogni nuova macchina uscita o quando c’erano esigenze dei fotografi per qualche cosa in più. Io sono stato costretto a ricomprarlo perché per installarlo su un nuovo Mac book mi serviva il codice che si trova all’interno della scatola originale che ho perso. Comunque per chi ha Nikon lo consiglio ( USB o WI-FI)

Use all the time

..die leider auch Geld kostet.. Freeware hat nicht den Funktionsumfang und ist daher auch nicht vergleichbar. Die SW kann auf zwei Rechnern installiert werden.

I have been using some free software which did the job but was rather unpredictable. I decided to try the Nikon software on trial and having done so, have gone ahead and purchased the software. It is completely reliable and worth every penny. You can control and change camera settings direct from the software and if I have a quibble, and it's only a minor one, it defaults to saving the image on the computer and does not allow you to save the image on the camera's memory card as well on all models of Nikon camera. I would still recommend this to any Nikon user needing control software.

Hormis la livraison qui comme toujours est parfaite chez Amazon, ce produit est "indispensable" pour qui fait de la photo de portrait, car on peut à la fois voir sur un écran plus grand la photo que l'on va prendre (mode "live view"), et faire des réglages poussés plus simplement. Ceci dit, je ne trouve pas la solution de Nikon absolument parfaite, et même un peu poussive voir incomplète, ce qui est dommage. Je lui préfère d'autres logiciels du même genre, mon choix définitif professionnel ira à Capture One, mais qui est plus cher. Ce dernier intègre une solution de développement des RAW très performante, du même niveau que DxO pro (ce dernier n'a pas encore de mode de pilotage d'appareil depuis une informatique), que l'on peut appliquer avant de déclencher... On "voit" ce qu'on règle. J'ai aussi testé "control my Nikon" qui est très buggé et ne marche que sur PC, Lightroom qui ne permet que le déclenchement et pas de réglages, même pas le mode "live view", donc inutilisable en studio (aucun intérêt), Helicon focus (génial mais pour gérer les profondeurs de champs uniquement). Bref, pour qui veut utiliser son boitier "a distance" (c'est à dire celle du câble USB), sur un boitier Nikon, il y aces eux solutions très pro, pour moi en tête, Capture one et en deux Camera control pro2 un peu moins performant. Dans le cas de camera control il existe une solution de developpement RAW fournie par Nikon mais à part c'est soit View NX (gratuit) soit capture NX mais payant. A ce stade, je préfère utiliser Camera Raw d'adobe fournit avec Photoshop, ou DxO Pro qui est très performant. Capture One permet en plus d'utiliser votre Iphone comme télécommande sans fil de déclenchement...L'intêret de ce type de produit, c'est de faire les réglages depuis votre PC ou Mac, en voyant les résultats en direct (temps réel) sur l'écran de celui-ci, qui sera toujours plus grand et de meilleure résolution que celui de votre boitier!
