Ooh, I've just been reading up on tethered shooting with lightroom elsewhere and noticed this thread. I've been thinking about trying to get this setup with my Nikon D50, I've not had chance to play with it yet, but from what I understand i have to set the camera to some PTP mode or something for it to work. I'm assuming you just connect the camera via a USB cable? an extra long one if possible lol. It would be nice to get a larger preview of a photo after I've taken it because quite often I take a picture and think it's sharp, only to discover it's horrible when I open it in Lightroom.

I'll keep in mind the workaround you suggest too when playing with it.

are there any kind of wireless devices to do this too? or does the Camera have to natively support this option?
