For those of you who know me from years gone by then you know that I dislike Nikon Capture CNX v1 and v2.
However there is now Nikon Capture NX-D
http://www.dpreview.com/articles/9761524929/updated-nikon-releases-capture-nx-d-1-0-0-software

It is FREE.
Obviously it only supports Nikon cameras.

This software is a rewrite of the previous version and I can say that it is much, much better to the extent it is now installed on my main computer in case I need to use it.

One downside is that PicturePoint Control (Viveza2 technology as in GoogleNikSoftware) is no longer there.   I suppose you cant win every which way!.
The latest Google NikSoftware doesnt as yet work with NX-D so if you want then you have to use this via Photoshop.

Happy testing.

Got the NX-D installed and tried a few things. Will only be using it on copies.

It seems a bit slow when handling jpg's but OK with the NEF's.

Nikon has updated their NX-2 to NX-i. When installing it deleates the older NX-2. It also works with the NX-D and movie package.

50,
Do not get confused, I think you ae mixing VNX en CNX.
Also:
The View-NXi seems to be a beta version, note the install-routine de-installs any VNX2 on the system.
Regards, Gilbert (I passed on this one)

This is the new version of NikonView software that is meant to work with the latest version of Nkon Capture that is now called Nikon NX-D.

More info here.

The NX-1 runs(plods) along poorly especially when trying to add a few new pix to a file.

Got the dreaded windows "Blue screen of death" last night on a Win7 machine.

Havn't seen one in years, could it be the new Nikon install??

WARNING - Don't use NX-I as your primary image browser if you need to handle non-Nikon RAW files.

When you try to copy-and-paste files from a memory card to the hard-drive using NX-I, it ignores non-Nikon RAW files without any warning. Can be disastrous if you habitually format the card after downloading the files.
