    so what do you guys think about this software? i have the d70 and am thinking about getting a copy. the time lapse work really interests me.

    do you have any examples that you created with CCP?

    This really doesn't do much unless I'm confused as to what you are thinking it does for you?

    I have it, and it is just a way to have the PC control the camera (or rather, you control the PC to control the camera). You have access to almost all the settings you use to take a picture with. What is good is if you have a custom tone curve, you can load it with this. Also, I like how I can tell it to take a picture and the picture can be saved on my PC hard drive. USB 1.1 is not very fast (roughly 4-5 seconds/raw file) but it's a neat feature nonetheless.

    i understand the basc features of it but i also saw somewhere that you can take timelaps shots. set up the camera so it fires (for example) every 2 seconds for [how ever long] the desired time. if you clip them together, itd be similar to a movie (not sure how else to describe it.)

    sorry if i am unclear, and please correct me if im wrong here.

    Yes, it does let you do that. The intervalometer allows this.

    i see B&H has the software for $70. do you think it's worth it?

    I can't really say since I don't use it all that often anymore. Worth is hard to determine. Do you think you need those features or would use them enough to justify that?

    I ordered a copy this week to be able to shoot tethered. I will let you know my thoughts once I have used it.
