Nikon image download - OSX Sierra
Recently bought a MacBook Pro and upgraded the OS to Sierra. Nikon's NX2 no
longer sees the camera (D7000). I've tried to DL the latest version from Nikon but it hangs part way through the installation. Any suggestions on how to fix, or suggestions for alternative image download software? -- Nige Danton - Replace the obvious with g.m.a.i.l |

Any suggestions on how to fix, or suggestions for alternative image download software? use lightroom, apple's image capture or plenty of others. another option is just put the card in the sd slot and use finder to copy the photos, but then you still need lightroom or similar to manage and process the photos, so you might as well use lightroom from the start. |

Yes, LR will do part of the job. But NX2 does a more accurate interpretation of what comes out of the camera. You are assuming he does not need that function. I agree that it is highly probable that many shooters do not need that function, but i have found it useful on occasion. -- PeterN |

OIC. I guess the Nikon professionals, who incorporate NX2 into their workflow should hire you to give them advice. -- PeterN |

LR does a reasonably good job at reading the encryption, but it is not as accurate as NX2. I doubt if most need that accuracy, but here we don't know if the OP does. -- PeterN |

I guess the Nikon professionals, who incorporate NX2 into their workflow he wasn't asking about workflow. he wanted to copy photos from the camera to the computer, which can be done in many ways. as for your ignorant comment, most professionals, whether it's nikon, canon or something else, overwhelmingly choose lightroom for their workflow versus the manufacturer's own provided app because it typically is not very good, slow and very limiting. should hire you to give them advice. yes, they should. nx2 is very poorly written. |

I doubt if most need that accuracy, but here we don't know if the OP does. he wasn't asking about accuracy. |
