I'm an extreme beginner with DSLRs. Just purchased a D5200 with NX2. Will this software allow me to create photo and video albums?

Capture nx2 isn't designed for making albums, specifically it is designed for editing photos, color correction, enhancement etc. To create albums use the viewnx program that came with your camera software. Congratulations you have one of the best dslr's on the market today.

We've been using "MAGIX Music Maker 2013". We got it cheap and it's works pretty well. Very easy software to learn. Depending on what you are doing with it though, it can get kind of glitchy to work with. We record several tracks together on a compilation, and we've been running into lag issues with it. As long as you can work around it, you should be fine. Just be aware that it IS a pretty big problem with this particular software. But you can't beat the price!

Well I can't tell you what to purchase BUT I can tell you how I arrived at the decision to buy my Nikon D5200. I made a big list. First I listed the things that I wanted on my camera and the things I wanted to do with it. Next I listed the different cameras that I was interested in and what they would do, out of the box, and what they could do with add-on (accessories). Finally I put the price of each different camera on to my list. Now the hard part. Deciding which camera gave me the most from my list. I chose the Nikon based on my needs and wants. I would also suggest you go to your local Best Buy and camera shop and look at and try each of the cameras you are interested in. Look for package or kit deals as they will save you $. I am very happy with my D5200 but just so you are aware, Nikon has come out with a D5300 which has a couple of added features over the D5200. Good Luck

A word about the D800. I downloaded the 20 megabite sample jpeg image files nikon provides and tried my hand at working with them in photoshop and Topaz filters. I see some color banding in the shadows, hmm? Has any one else tried working them?The other thing is that I noticed is with 36mp images at 20MB's your post processing times to slow to a crawl.

Yes you can. I never loaded any software. I just plug and load my photos. Very simple :)

Sorry but I have no experience with the Nikon D5200. I have a Nikon D80 and the Yongnuo RF-602 performs very well for me.

I also have the pro 4x, I have never had the issue you seem to have. other than the 20 overlay tracks and the 3rd party add on's with the ultimate I can't see any difference. the main reason I upgraded was for these features as well as the price. I got it on sale at amazon and used rewards points on my credit card so it only cost me about $15. When I do a project I always seem to have alot of stills as well as video, for that reason I make several 3 or 4 minute clips saving them in mp4 format, then I stitch them together. That way if I'm well into the project & decide I want to make a change near the start It's no big deal, just change the one clip. Dave

I use Paint.net (free) and Photoshop. I don;t know what, if anything, comes with the camera software-wise.

My NEX didn't come with an SD card and I don't know what, if any, small onboard storage exists. I would recommend an SD card no smaller than 8GB so you can really take a lot of photos and not worry about what you're going to do with them. Also, if you're going to shoot RAW, consider going at least 16GB as you'll fill up your card even quicker.

Yes, I think this will be fine for basic still photography and editing. My wife has this unit with over 40,000 photos, and PhotoShop 12 on it, and LIghtRoom as well, and it works fast and smoothly.

I have a NX100, and it doesn't include flash. However, I've used three different types of flash units on it, Bower, TTL and Autos, and everything works really well. In low light situations, you can go down to as low as 1/5 shutter speed with ambient light, and it still looks great. The flash unit itself is very affordable.

I cant comment on the quality of RAW Vs Jpeg as I stick with Jpeg. I can say however if you want to use most of the cameras apps it will force you to use jpeg witch is why I hvent been using RAW format. Also the camera is amazing, excellent photographs and user functionality. Ive used it for a year as my first dslr, so im still a novice. I do love this camera though. You should be able to track down som RAW reviews online though

no. I have several Canon cameras and have never used the software. Any photo software will work

Yes. I've loaded and used this software on my windows 7 computer for over a year. every feature that I've needed functions seamlessly. I use it to edit photographs for engineerinig and metalurgy work. I have not used the more "artsy" features, but I'm confident in what I have done, that it will perform as designed. No worries, no regrets Good software.

Checking in eight months later, does it support other camera apps that support "RAW" files (645Pro, Manual, CamearPlus, etc.)?

Hi, Chris.Not sure since I only did it a couple times with my A2000is. You WILL have to load the program disk into your computer, that much I remember. Also, that program has to be loaded in order to play back any videos you might make. If you have the instructions, time to put on a pot of coffee and crack that book! :-) If you don't have them they are available at Canon's website. I research new stuff by reading its manual at the company site. Oh, yeah. The program allows you to stitch the separate pictures to make the panorama shot.

It works great for RAW file photos. I've used it many times for video and photos on my Nikon D5200 and Friends 5D Mark iii.
