Is there third-party software for Canon tethered live-view shooting?


I can use Canon EOS Utility to shoot tethered so that the live-view preview is displayed on the computer screen.


However, I would like to know if there is any third-party software (non-Canon) that supports Canon DSLRs and live-view shooting. I am using Mac, but feel free to suggest software for any platform.



(For example, Apple Aperture supports tethered shooting; however, it does not display the live-view preview.)




PS. Tip of the week: If you are using Mac OS X Lion + EOS Utility, do not upgrade it to the latest version. Older versions (2.8.1) seem to work somewhat ok on Lion; the latest version (2.10.2) simply refuses to start and displays the message "Cannot be used with this version of the operating system".

I know gPhoto does this (free), i am just not sure if it's available to non linux environments.
