Just double checked the <a href="https://sdk.nikonimaging.com/apply/" title="SDKs for Digital Imaging Products" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Nikon SDK application page</a> and you are right of course. I appreciate the input. @Todd, Thanks for the clarification. Just double checked the Nikon SDK application page and you are right of course. I appreciate the input.

You are right about the D40 not having LiveView though but all other functions work fine. Hope that helps Todd TetherPro Author www.oxfordeye.co.uk www.NikonTether.com @irvin/Matt – Hi Guys, Actually, there is a D40 Nikon SDK – TetherPro uses it.

I have a nikon d40. Any software you can recommend that has live view and can print the pictures just like in the photo booths?

Most cameras will support very basic tethering using software such as the CameraBits one, but detailed control requires a more expensive camera where the manufacturer has bothered to create an SDK for it. Unlikely to be the case with cheaper point and shoots as anyone interested in tethering is likely to have a larger budget for the camera purchase. Can't really offer you specific advice on camera models as I don't have the experience to make a sensible recommendation for you. @Andre, Sorry about the delayed reply.

Sounds like it would be difficult to do reliably. @Flightfollowing, Haven’t tried it myself. Sounds like it would be difficult to do reliably.

Canon's EOS utilities is limited to a single instance and the Canon SDK says that it only supports 1 camera. However, I have been able to control several cameras relatively well using separate applications running simultaneously. Anyone tried this with Nikon? How about Canon as well, and any observations?
