Both applications have their pros and cons. I always use Capture when I shoot tethered on medium format (which isn’t that often) but everything else – Lightroom is just simply faster.
I have jobs where I deal with 3000 frames a day that need to be sorted, exported etc.
And I just tested it today – Lightroom is still way faster than Capture. And when a production day with models costs around 10000 Euros every minute counts…

I still think you should do an in-depth post about it, Doug. And after seeing the comments here, I really am quite interested in what this program really brings to the table for a photographer’s workflow.

I tethered with a D800 and tested today with no problems at all.

If its as good or better than capture one 6 it’ll blow LR away. CO6 for me was stunning after I’d gotten used to it. Just wish it wasn’t so expensive

The price wont make much difference to pro’s that shoot Medium format or high end 35mm and want the best file’s,Phase is a small company and we need to consider that when we look at the price..

Why is it that they pack LR with blad’s? Phocus is the tethering app and best raw converter,and LR is an optional tether/converter but mainly the DAM app

If you make your living as a Pro Photographer $299 shouldn’t be a problem for the best image quality out there. You can “Capture” that back in 1 afternoons shoot.

If you are in Europe you have to add an extra 25% to the price which isn’t fun.

I’ve used Capture1 for a really long time, and its a nice piece of software in many ways. Tethering is way better then in Lightroom and for me it seems that the color engine is alot more solid then in both Aperture and Lightroom. There are however some downsides. One is that they seem to do alot of releases, and in some cases they are buggy as hell. The big deal breaker for me right now however is that they haven’t managed to sort out the tether issue with alot of the top end Canon cameras. So I wont be upgrading until they’ve sorted that out.

Also, I do use Lightroom as well, but the who programs are really good at different things. I use Lightroom for making fun, different and cool images that really look like they’ve been heavily retouch while I use Capture1 for the more natural looking result.
