Since everybody is talking about how great he thinks Lightroom 3 is, I thought I’d talk about what I miss in Lightroom 3 First off… I’ve been using Lightroom 3 Beta exclusively since the beginning of this year and I also think it’s new features are great, BUT:

• Tethering! I don’t really need Live View, but I at least want to be able to change basic settings like aperture, iso and shutter speed from Lightroom! I only use this feature when my camera is on a tripod, so I don’t want to run back and forth!
• Remote Tethering or whatever you call it… I want to be able to tether my Camera from my iPhone, just as with the OnOne solution, but from within Lightroom. Oh… don’t tell me it’s useless. Again… handy when on a tripod. Think about shooting still lives in the studio… no more running from the object to the laptop or even to the camera! Or Startrails in the cold, or, or, or…
• Publishing Service … O.K. Lightroom 3 now has Social Media, especially Flickr integration. Awesome! But why does this only work for images I upload trough this new feature? I want to be able to link my existing images back into Lightroom! Or did I miss something about that feature?
• Video, though not a killer feature for me some basic editing features would be nice. (Just as Aperture does)
