Update: If you alredy upgraded to Snow Leopard, its updated Image Capture utility now lets you specify which application to open based on what memory card you inserted or what camera you connected. That renders Cameras obsolete unless you want to preview your images, which you cannot do in Image Capture.
If you are like me, you have multiple cameras, that all get connected to the same computer (in my case, a MacBook Pro). However, when I connect them, I don’t want to import every single image into the same app. My iPhone snapshots typically get downloaded via PhoneView, whereas I use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to organize all of my DSLR images. And whenever my wife uses her point&shoot, her pictures go into iPhoto.
The problem is, though, that MacOSX opens all attached cameras (or memory cards in my case) with the same app. Not any longer. Cameras is a free preference pane that does one thing only: Specify which application will be used when a certain camera or memory card reader is connected.
I’m not sure how Cameras works if you want to transfer video that was shot with a still camera, but in my case, I don’t typically do that. Thus, once set up, I started to rely on Cameras very quickly and would miss it, if it was gone.
