I tested last night native tethering support in LR3 against Nikon Camera Control Pro. What can I say, good folks at Adobe done pretty amazing job. LR tethering works about twice faster than Nikon’s own software, and although you cannot control camera settings via Lightroom itself, you can see current aperture, shutter and ISO. File management could have been better to allow date folder selection but it will do as it is. The most important factor is stability and here LR performed really well with my Nikon D700. I used 2 meter USB cable with gold plated connectors (my old audio equipment hobby taught me to always use good cables) and took about 200 frames in short bursts. Didn,’t encounter any dropped or corrupted images. Two meter cable would be sufficient for product or food photography but I intend to test next the limits of USB connectivity. Will report on that later.
