It's quite simple really - Mountainstorm Studio integrates with LR (via the plugin) - I can launch it from within LR and the images are brought directly into it. Sofortbild doesn't. I'll keep Sofortbild on my computer in case I have a need for the few features it has that MS doesn't seem to, but I doubt I'll use it.

They recently released 1.0.1 which is supposed to be almost identical to the beta (a few new cameras supported, GPS enhanced). I installed and immediately started running into problems. Connectivity with the camera is lost for no apparent reason every few frames, and sometimes the app simply crashes after the shot. I uninstalled 1.0.1 and re-installed the beta - and the issue was resolved. I sent an email to the developers, but in the meantime - I would suggest not to upgrade, or if you do and run into the same issue - to uninstall 1.0.1 and re-install the beta.

My laptop is a 64 bit Windows Vista. Guess what, Canon EOS utility does not support 64 bit windows systems and according to the folks I talked with at Canon there are no plans to develop one. Know of any utility that will work with my Canon 5D and a 64 bit Windows OS? I have a Canon 5D and tried to shoot tethered to my laptop with the Canon EOS utilitiy.

Anyone shooting with Olympus out there (I know, there are not too many of us but hey....) might like to have a look at "ecapture" from www.imagecraft.com. It's a simple little program that enables tethered shooting from any E System camera. Works great with my E3s and does not cost a fortune. Just read the tip abpout tethered shooting.

Pentax Remote Assistant 3. http://www.dpreview.com/news/0705/07052501pentaxra3osx.asp Works great with LR2 and MacOS 10.5. Haven't tested the Windows version.

I really loved Sofortbild. It was incredibly easy to install (just drop the icon in the App. folder and start shooting. The manual that came with it answered any question I had, and I was impressing my wife with tethered shooting with my 24" iMac. We were having fun! Then I tried Mountainstorm Studio & Lightroom Tether and all the fun stopped. I am pretty tech savvy, and it took me forever to figure out who to get the plug-in to start in Lightroom. Then I spent an hour (I felt like an idiot the whole time) trying to get the program to show my shots and I couldn't get it to work. I sent an email, which I doubt I will ever get a response back. I hope the upcoming "how-to" video will be fully comprehensive. I say have fun with Sofortbild, it is such a great, FREE program!

I can't wait. Live View and remote firing are worth the $20 in my opinion.
