Nikon D810

So I just tested ControlMyNikon v5 on my D810. Not surprisingly, this version doesn't work on the D810 since they didn't have the SDK.
I've been speaking to the developer about this, and he says the D810 will be supported in the next version--soon I hope!
I also let him know about the EFCS in LV and asked that be supported as well--we'll see!

The developer of CMN has been very responsive, and I just heard back that he plans on including tethered EFCS functionality on the D810.
He's waiting on Nikon for the D810 SDK, but foresees that v.5.1--including the D810--will be available early Fall. If you want access to the 5.1 beta when it comes out, click here and sign up for their newsletter.

It has the same sensor as the sony A7r and costs almost US$1000 more. You might as well go for the sony at least with the sony you can use any lens you like on the camera!

I have little interest in the sensor. Any modern sensor can provide sufficient performance for coins. Well, perhaps not some of the cheap ones integrated into USB webcams but virtually any DSLR/EVIL/MILC sensor has sufficient performance. It's the camera features that make the difference, especially EFSC/EFCS and the ability to tether the camera for improved workflow. At present, the Sony cameras don't tether well, and so far I have not seen confirmation that the D810 tethers with EFCS. I am also brand-agnostic, so don't care if I shoot Sony, Samsung, Panasonic, Nikon, Canon, whatever. It just needs to work in a way that gives me vibration-free images tethered to the PC. To this date, only Canon can offer this functionality.

I have no issues with the a7rs tethering.

Sony provides standard tethering software only. However the camera is designed to accept apps. I recall one photo stacking software provider couldn't be bothered adapting their programme to The A7(r) but the relevant info is available.... so it only requires demand. What it can do..well all my macro lenses bar one are manual focus. I am sure the camera is much more capable than alot of canon and nikon focussed providers understand. I have recently installed an application that has allowed me to adjust CA, vignetting, and perspective for each of my manual focus lenses.

There are two ways to link the Sony A7's to a computer. the most useless(IMHO) is the sony remote control app. just turns your computer into a sophisticated remote shutter release( that said some link to light room five). with no live view on the computer. What alot of people fil to realise is the sonys are designed to link via WiFi....using the programm "play memories" You can focus using your computer or smart phone. the weird thing is when I have communicated with compamies that produce stacking software the response usually involves a statement to the effect you cant teher the A7#s mention Wifi and then they say "we werent aware of that" all that said I guess the killer is the A7r does nothave an electronic front curtain shutter...the A7 does and perhaps the A7s does as well( but the A7s would only be useful if you wanted to phograph coins in the dark!)
