I am a Lightroom user – have been since their very first public beta release. But this latest announcement from Apple has me interested in Aperture for the first time… tethered shooting, integrated into my digital asset management system? That would be great.

Apple says that they support only a few Nikon and Canon DSLRs. The list includes the Nikon D200, D300, and D3 as well as the D40x, D70, D80, D2Hs and D2Xs (that seems like a good list). On the Canon side they mention only the Rebel (not Rebel XT or XTi), 5D, 10D and 1Ds MkII – so basically all the recent Canon cameras are missing.

Let’s be honest, this is not enough to get me to migrate from Lightroom to Aperture – but maybe Adobe will integrate similar functionality into Lightroom?

Competition is good.
