   It still ONLY supports 32bit OS.

     That’s disappointing – It’d be nice to be able to update to a 64-bit OS without losing one of my most used applications

       If you run ViewNX in admin mode on Vista 64bit, it will resolve any problems.

       Good for you because I did. I had to add ViewNX to DEP exception list otherwise it crashed on me all the time. I had no such problem with a 32 bit OS…

         Never had a problem with ViewNX on XP64 thus far.

   When is nikon going to realize they need to release a raw codec for lightroom? I would pay $200 just to have nikons jpet settings imported into the raw files of lightroom for my weddings!

   totally unrelated but what the hell…

   Sounds like built-in HDR-type processing on 2 new Sony p&s cams. Very cool. I love well-done HDR’s – would be a great future DSLR feature for Nikon.

   “The speed of the Exmor R CMOS sensors allows the capture of six separate images in less than a second and Sony’s Bionz processor then combines the shots into a single image with enhanced detail and noise reduction.

   The result, Sony said, is the ability to capture highly detailed low-noise images of scenes with “no more than candlelight – without flash or the need of a tripod.”

   The DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1 also feature Sony’s Sweep Panorama capability which uses 10fps burst shooting to horizontally or vertically sweep the full dimensions of wide or tall subjects to create a single image comprised of a collage of consecutively shot frames that are automatically stitched together in the camera.

   The TX1 and WX1 Cyber-shot models can take up to 185- and 256-degree panorama shots, respectively, with one press-and-sweep motion. The resulting ultra-wide horizontal image size measures 7,152 by 1,080 pixels.”

   Downloaded this version and imediately removed it. Went to do a NEF convert to tiff and the tiff image was just a few kb’s in size. It should have been 34mg.

   I couldn’t install it at all. Weird. My info page says I’m still running vers 1.1 of both programs.

    Sounds to me that this is an indication that the D300s (and D3000) are very close to shipping. My dealer told me they expected the D300s in 2 weeks or so, and it says august on the Nikon USA website for availability
