Re: [APML] OT: Pleiades Mosaic

["Mike Unsold" <mike@mlunsold.com>]

HocusFocus has been used with the CoolPix Nikon cameras but I am not sure if
it is still under development or if it works with the D100. A quick search
in Yahoo should list some links.

I am interested in supporting the Nikon DSLRs. Currently I am busy
completing focus, remote capture, and transfer of images from Canon DSLRs in
ImagesPlus. Here is a preview of Canon DSLR support in ImagesPlus.

The foevon chips would also be good to support once they mature.

Have a nice evening.

I am interested in supporting the Nikon line of digitasl cameras
