WT-3A Boondoggle

Look, everyone can be seduced by technology. I finally gave in and purchased a wireless transmitter for the D200, and let's just say I am so glad my local dealer takes returns.
It isn't the fact the range is about 30 feet - which is only 150 feet shy of their published range (I already knew that). It isn't the fact that it takes a degree in rocket science to get the laptop communicating with the camera - I figured that out. It isn't the fact the WT-3A instructions are spread over the sorry manual and the CD enclosed with the unit.
WHAT IT IS about the WT-3A, IS the fact that it only works with the pathetic, sorry and worthless Nikon software Picture Project. This software is so amateurish that it is difficult to believe it even exists. AND that is the reason I immediately returned the unit for a full refund after never using it on the job.
NIKON makes cameras and optics not software. Who thinks "hey I have to have the latest version of Picture Project!"?

All I can say is NIKON should be very scared - their software is junk - most if not all of it, and if Canon gets their New 1DM3 straightened out, it is a killer.

If NIKON wants to find some way to get ahold of themselves they would make their wireless and RAW work with any free standing software now in existence. IMAGINE what you could do if the WT-3A worked with PHOTOSHOP right out of the box! Now you have something. NIKON's proprietary myopia will lead to it being in second place for the foreseeable future. Only to be outdone by a dozing giant by the name of Canon.

NIKON - discontinue all software development and "dance with the one that brung ya'" ---- you make cameras and optics -stick to that and give the professionals something of value before Canon becomes the indisputable DSLR of choice. I for one, am a hog's breath from making the switch to Canon - and that's after 20 loyal years to Nikon. What do you think about that?
