I've purchased the very new DSLR Remote Professional Edition and made a short test with my Canon 40D and MacBook Pro. The app works as advertised and crashed once in 30 min (okay it's version 1.0).

Already posted here as a thread in this forum, but you're the first to report back on using it.

^Sorry.

It's funny you can make photos like the one in the attachment.

You can even "broadcast" a local video stream (the viewfinder preview) to all iDevices with the app. Maybe I'll use it for that. Some kind of a local webcam.
