Hello, are there good alternatives to CCP2?
I need control of the camera parameters related to RAW shooting and best possible live view.
Two monitors must be supported. Camera support must cover D200, D700, D3.
I do hold licenses for CCP and CCP2 but just dislike the user interface and the implementation of LV.
Suppost is also terrible - it took me 1/2 year to get the software from Nikon after the D700 was delivered. It was ordered together with the camera! After major intervention I got a temporary lic. key from Nikon after 4 month.

Thanks for the tip Hans. That software worked with my D3. Not very glamorous but certainly functional.

Hans interesting suggestion but there seems to be no live view. No live view does not meet the specification of "best possible live view" :-)
Tried it but cannot get it to work with my D3 , at least under Vista64. Have to give it a try with XP.

Sure it does. You said 2 monitors. Plug one of them into the HDMI port of the camera. That is the very best possible liveview. No smiley, dead serious.

Waiting for the cable to hook up the D700 to the PC. It is the smaller type plug.
