I have been shooting in my studio using a Nikon D70 and a Fujifilm S3 Pro and am getting tired of the compact flash card shuffle back and forth from the cameras to the Mac. I would like to shoot with both cameras tethered to the Mac directly and each image is downloaded automatically for use in Lightroom. I would appreciate any advice from those who may already be doing this.
Chuck I have just finished testing this with the Nikon D70 and it works perfectly. I am actually using my Macbook to tether the camera to in my studio room, and then I get the Macbook to wirelessly store the files on the Mac Pro in the other room running Lightroom. And as it should, Lightroom simply imports the images that appear in the watched folder, perfect!
But, sadly this does not work for my Fujifilm S3 Pro which can only do this by Firewire, and the Nikon Camera Control Pro will not talk to it. So, it looks like a new Nikon body is on the way just to get this functionality! Such is life!
