Getting my new D-300 tomorrow, what can I expect to be different than the D-200, any interesting quirks

I still have the 305 photos on my D300 that I downloaded via Bridge, so I think I'll get the free copy of Bibble and see how it goes. I haven't used Windows in years, but I do love PS......Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.

My complaint with LR is their lack of an ergonomic way to compare multiple images...something where Aperture shines.; ▶ Reply to This

I was upset when I couldn't transfer my photos from my D300 to Apperture, which had been working fine with other cameras. Once I get the photo in Apperture, if I needed to do more post-processing, which I usually do, I would right click the photo in Apperture and select "open with external editor". I spoke with Apple, and it requires an OS update to make Apperture see the new Nikon RAW format, so it's going to be awhile.........; ▶ Reply to This

I finally developed a storage protocol and I've be ad-hoc since Aperture wouldn't service the images. Thanks!; ▶ Reply to This

I also used a bunch of things up to now, including LR and others. Have you ever tried digikam? I use it now and are very pleased with the support, the speed of development and the features it brings.
digicam.org is the place to get some more info. Uses dcraw for .nef conversion and I guess the D300 support will be available very very soon. A big thank to Gilles Caullier who is the key guy in all the development.
I personally very like digicam and it can be built for MAC OS X easily, too.
Cheers from Japan.; ▶ Reply to This
