Have any of you used ControlMyNikon? It's being offered for $20 instead of $30.
I use Sofortbild, which is free; it is only available for Mac OS-X. Lightroom will also tether but i haven't tried it, yet.
I have been using tethered capture in Lightroom which works fine to take the shot and instantly have the image raw or jpg in LR. But that is all, I'd like to be able do more from the computer, and wonder if ControlMyNikon will do more?
Is ControlMyNikon software from Nikon? Seems I remember that there remote control software was a lot more expensive?

Tethered is when you use a USB cord to connect the camera with the computer, hence tethered. The pictures can then be downloaded from camera to computer.
I am watching a video of the new version of controlmynikon3.0 at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na6fFaVATjwI can't believe my eyes, this is sooo cool and a must have. At $20 it looks like the steel of a lifetime for me. I have been using LR's tethered capture which is brain dead by comparison.
I think it is so cheap because it is the new kid on the block and there is free capture software at DIYphotobits.com. It is said that as long as you are running a windows machine it works, and best of all it is free.
But when you see this video, you may think like me that controlmynikon is worth a quarter tank of gas.

No, it's third party software co., TetherScript Technology Corporation, out of Canada.
This looks like a pretty good variation of Nikon's Camera Control Pro (2) software., Only a lot better price.
That's great! When I get home, it's another great thing to try!!! You all are the TOP!
The other day you were talking about stacking photos, could you please explain? Thank you.

Thanks so much. I know the word tether, but with animals, etc. I didn't know it could be part of photography. Another knowledge to help me along! You guys are the best!

I watched the video. Now I am spending the money.
Thanks for the tip!

I went to the site, and downloaded the DEMO. Played with it for an hour and will buy it tomorrow. I will also let my sister know about it, she will love it. If you have any questions just get the DEMO, and give it a spin. LEARNING!
