Definitely. That said, a bit off topic: Nikon Capture is a lot better
handling Nikon's files than all the other 3rd party converters
including Adobe Camera Raw (wrt shadow detail, shadow noise and colour
rendition). On the other hand Nikon Capture is slooooooooooooooooow
and unusable on anything but the best systems today, if you actually
want to preview your settings.
Still, quite bad marketing strategy... even worse than Pentax's
alright!
Good light!
