Nikon Sales Rising

[NormanBates]

Canon's DPP is a joy to use, simple and effective. Nikon's ViewNX is a nightmare that takes ages to update the metadata on an image and crashes more often than any other piece of commercial software I've ever used.

IMO, DPP is a joy to use in much the same way that a visit to the dentist for a root canal is a pleasant experience.

DPP's UI reminds me of WordStar (I know, I'm dating myself here). If ViewNX is worse, that's pretty bad.

OK, DPP is not "a joy to use", but it's moderately fast, and it works. ViewNX can't say any of those. Real nightmare stuff.
