Jordon Nielsen posted his opinions on Aperture 2.0 and why he’s sticking with Lightroom.
Apple has kept it’s users in the dark for almost a year on the development of Aperture 2.0. Adobe has been very good in keeping its users up-to-date on its newest releases. Which I feel is a huge asset to keeping myself [...]

Apple has posted a list of the Nikon and Canon cameras supported with Aperture 2.0 tethering. My list of cameras is not as complete on the Canon side so I will update it shortly with what's on the Apple grid. I've been getting reports on Leica, Panasonic, Sony and Pentax. I will continue to update my list as other models are reported to work or fail. If you have a camera that's not on my list...
