Hi Stephen

I had a feeling it was your computer rather than the NX v1.01 software that was causing your problem. I've used both versions without any hangups so far, in both cases rendering times were more than acceptable.

It seems to me that somewhere in the background, your computer is busy doing something that's hogging your memory, antivirus software springs to mind, but Microsoft are notorious for ringing home to do things to your computer without your knowledge! I make sure all the Microsoft useless rubbish is disabled, especially Windows update, you can always re-enable it again if you really need to, though why you would I don't know?

Get yourself a decent PC Steve!
I donwloaded and tried NX 1.01 yesterday and found it quite nice, especially compared to Capture ONE.
I could only use it on my old D100 NEF's. Oh, and standard JPEG of course with limited functionality due to not being RAW.
There was some talk of it being able to process some of Canon's files but this so far appears to be incorrect.

I am surprised to find someone who believes NX is that good they are prepared to get a camera to suit for the software's RAW capability. I think the claim that NX can read other manufacturers files is true but in JPEG format only.

Lifted from the Nikon USA website, below shows differences between 1.00 and 1.01.
  • D80 Raw files are supported
  • Batch processes have been improved
  • Browser menu, File Directory palette, Camera Settings palette and Control Points have been improved
  • Print Layout Dialog has been improved
  • Lasso & Marquee tools have been improved
  • Edit List has been improved
  • Options from the View menu have been improved
I think every NX user should upgrade to this version.
