Control Nikon from Mac?

[macbenutzer]

Hi,
i recently saw the discussion about "http://www.breezesys.com/" to control multiple cameras from a PC.
Is there anything like that for Mac available?
I would like to control (set up an interval) only ONE D200 or Fuji S5pro from my MacBook...

I tried Nikons Capture Control 4.4.2 - but this was not very reliable :-(

Anything else???

Thanks - Peter

He seems to be interested in making a version for Canon also.
That would be much appreciated and I think we should give him some support.

You do not know much about commercial photographers.
Most of us hate these things.

Checked it
Not really what I call userfriendly.
Most Mac users will never be able to figure out how to install it and get it working.

Yes thats what I linked to.
Here is the actual website, http://www.sofortbildapp.com/

Looks like a very young developer.
I have downloaded it but discovered that I need Leopard.

I guess it depends on how you define commercial photographers ;-) The
set-up sounds quite advanced to me, far beyond what someone who is
somewhat intuitively handling a camera is working with. And we are on a
panorama-list. So if you e.g. want to have a automatic process of
capturing from four cameras and assembling this into a panoramic
projection, being command-line would be a requirement, not a drawback
for software. A GUI software set-up would require you to repeat the
exactly same mouseclicks every time you want to shoot and assemble. I am
sure in such a use-case, any commercially working photographer would
"hate these thing". ;-) So I guess the problem here is that we do not
really know what you want to do.

Cheers, Lars.

Thank you, Hans, The one I sent was the only I had, and I hadn't
clicked on the links everyone sent.

Not necessarily - it all depends on what features the GUI was
designed to make available. It could be that a GUI would offer the
ability to control 'N' cameras with the same visually-picked
settings, simply driving the command line behind the scenes. (As so
many GUIs do, in fact.)
