DSLR view images on the computer while taking pics software

[mashinhead]

I have Nikon d70, and i want some software that will allow me to take and view the pics on the computer as i'm taking them as opposed to looking at them on the lcd (too small). I know there is nikon camera control but i can't find a trial version and don't want to buy a new one cos i don't need it so permanently. Is there a trial version or a freeware alternative.

Do you have a way to connect to the computer?....i would really love to have this too!

Aperture 2.0 does tethered shooting...not sure if it supports the D70 though.

Camera Control Pro (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31979)

As well, tethering in Aperture 2 is available with the D70. Link (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1085)

Make sure your camera is set to PTP mode in the USB options.

I hope i'm not high jacking but there's the d 40x on that list, but no d 40 anywhere...does anyone know if the d 40 is supported?

As you said, Nikon will sell you something called Capture NX or something close to that. It is on their web site. About $150 if I remember. It allows for complete remote control of the camera via the USB

But now with Leopard Image Capture will do this to but it is more primitive the only control is one button called "take a picture". I tried it. It snaps the shutter then downloads the image right away. Comes with Leopard, not Tiger.

i will try aperture 2. I'm using this for like a week so i don't want to buy any software. if i was using it longer i would.
