Hi.I have a D800 with updated firmware, Camera Control Pro 2 with the latest version and using Windows 7 Professional.  The D800 is not recognized by the Camera Control Pro 2 nor Lightroom 4 but is recognized by Windows as a disk drive.  The D3s is no problem with Camera Control Pro and Lightroom.Since the D800 will not work with Camera Control Pro 2 nor with Lightroom whereas the D3s does I have ruled out the software programs and think it is something in the D800.It seems that the D800 will, once in a blue moon, connect to Camera Control Pro and I was looking for a menu item in the D800 to act as a PC or Mass Storage Device and do not see it.I am using a laptop and desktop one with USB 2 and one with USB 3 and both work great with D3s but not the D800.Am I missing something?Thanks,

My D800E was not recognized either until I installed the most recent update, now it works great. (I use Mac) So double check the website to make sure you have the latest update to the app.glo

Did you try a different USB 3 cable?That was my issue.

I have a D800 and camera control pro 2 on a PC with windows 7 and with windows 8 and it works fine.  Also works well with Lightroom 4.  I would suggest the cable as well and if that doesn't work, uninstall the driver and the device, reoboot and reinstall.Hope this helps.jp

It's more powerful and flexible than Nikon's software and it supports the D800.

THIS is the problem.  Nikon can't be arsed to put the latest download on it's download link.This linkhttp://www.robgalbraith.com/bins/content_page.asp?cid=7-11675-12333Should help.Perfectly amazing behavior on Nikon's part.  The longer I hang around them, the more I find that the ONLY thing they can do reliably is make cameras.  Selling them, supporting them and software, not so much./rant off

I have been using Nikon Camera Control 2 (NCC2) for a few years.  I just tried ControlMyNikon (CMN) and it is clearly better than NCC2 in a number of respects (price being a big one of them).CMN enables the ability to capture to the PC and display stills as they are being captured or in live view and, it allows the images to also be saved to the camera CF card(s) and/or just to the PC. NCC2 only allows you to capture the images to the computer when connected via wired USB or Wireless USB. CMN is also better than NCC2 in it provides a full size Live Preview; NCC2 has a smaller Live preview display. Of course you get total remote camera control with either.I connect to my D800 wirelessly to my Windows tablet, laptop and workstation mostly using a compact high speed wireless USB 2.0 transmitter/receiver pair.  It works great - up to 6 times faster (480Mbps) than any of the commercial 802.11N products (~60-120Mbps), including EyeFi - some of which cost up to $800.  In  the studio I shoot wirelessly unteathered from my D800 to my studio workstation when then displays the images instantly on a life size 80" Sharp LED TV at 1080p - big, fast, beautiful.

Have you ever had to switch between the 2 programs and did it do it seamlessly?

I wanted to try if it works for me, and have found that I am unable to upgrade CCP 2.8 to 2.11 or 2.12, the update terminates saying "wizard was interrupted...".Anyone else has this problem ?

I have the same problem now after I uninstalled Camera Control Pro 2.  I get the same message.Removed that I could find in reference to it from the Registry and still does not install the updates.I was able to Control My Nikon v4 to work and it works great.  And was able to get it work with all my USB 3.0 Cables.Joe

I use also CMN since I discovered it and there is no question. Way much better. So could you give me the ref of the "compact high speed wireless USB 2.0 transmitter/receiver pair" You use ? Thx V much.
