Capture NX can control the camera, do time releases etc, even just use the hdd as a memory card if you want. It's best feature is one of the editing tools that allows you to isolate and edit a radius of pixels, it's hard to explain it without you seeing it, but believe me, it's a bit good, and it's all non-destructive, so you can apply anything and easily remove it without having to backtrack over steps, remove the offending filter and then re-do all the later steps.
