Nikon software gets Intel-mac test run
According to Rob Galbraith DPI, Nikon has been testing its software for compatibility with Intel-based macs. The results of the tests for NikonUSA can be found here, but Galbraith had a few thoughts of their own:
Our own experience with Capture 4.4.1 is that if the application's parts are copied over from an installation on a PowerPC Mac, Capture Editor runs just fine on an Intel Mac (though slowly), while Capture Control will not see either USB- or FireWire-connected cameras. In other words, the main stumbling block is getting the application onto an Intel-powered Mac, since the installation process won't complete. And even when manually installed, tethered operation isn't possible. While we haven't tried this here, we've heard from several photographers now that Capture Control in v4.2 and possibly 4.1 as well will link properly to the D70 and D70s but not necessarily other Nikon USB models.
