I suspect there is "no need" for Nikon to offer the full version as soon as the D3s is released. It won't stop people who want to buy the D3s from buying it now.

Next we'll get the price cuts. Then probably a short term offer. Treat 'em mean and keep them keen ;-)

I pulled this from the BH web site -- "Exclusive Nikon Software include Nikon Transfer and ViewNX software packages (supplied) for a range of basic photo browsing and editing operations; Capture NX 2, Camera Control Pro 2, and Image Authentication Software (all optional) enable more advanced operation and image editing."

So -- it looks as if NX2 is "Optional" -- bummer -- you would think for $5200 they could throw in a $129.00 piece of software.

I agree. They did for the D3

I've heard two different things about this. The first is that the full version was a limited time thing. The second is that the full version was available more in the US than elsewhere.

That would be great if it did, I'm just waiting for my new D3s to arrive, but I have my doubts that Nikon would give us anything for free in this economy. One can only hope they do! Who ever gets a new D3s first, let us all know will you!!!

I'm thinking it's just a 60 day trial since it says it also comes with Camera Control Pro 2. I doubt Nikon would give away both programs. However the D300 did come with Capture NX when it was first released so maybe...just maybe...hmmm.

Welcome to the [NR] forum JSturr!

I'm not sure. I got a trial with my D300.

I saw in the listing on B&H for the D3s in the "What's included" section -- listed Capture NX -- any ideas if this is the full version or a trial ??
