I'm saying that the notes for the release candidate are incomplete at best. LR 4.2 now supports tethering for the D800 for Mac. I have only tested the D800 on the Mac platform.
So ... tethering has been added for the D4/D800 on only one platform ... in an RC version of Lightroom ... now this thread/feature request warrants an "Implemented" label?
I don't get it ... It's sort of like Bush's "Mission Accomplished" banner for Iraq ... and look at how much flack he received for that ...
I would think the term "implemented" would mean the feature is available and fully functional for ALL users ... not added to the growing list of caveats that is the supported cameras for tethering in Lightroom ...
According to the announcement of Lr4.2RC on the Lightroom Journal Blog ... it states "Tether support not working for Nikon D4, D800 , and D800E (win only)"
I don't use Windows myself, so I can't test it. If I assumed wrong, I stand corrected ...
It's fine, the release notes were - erm - a bit buggy!
Support was added for both platforms, and then the Windows wasn't working for a bit - hence a bug was written up and then listed in the release notes as a fixed bug.
Judith....as indicated in the responses just preceding yours, support has been added in LR4.2RC. I don't believe prior versions of LR4 will ever support tethering of those cameras.
Judith and Jim have clearly not taken the time to read comments above. Both cameras are now supported on both platforms. Follow this link:

Andrew ... and you clearly did not read Jim's comment ... he agrees with you by pointing out that the support is in v4.2RC ... not any prior version of Lr 4 ... also keep in mind that the existence of the Lr 4.2RC does not show up in the "Check for Updates" under the Help menu ... as it is distributed by Adobe Labs ...
We also must keep in mind that not all users feel comfortable using Release Candidate versions of apps for real world workflow ... not everyone wants to be a beta tester while on the job just to invoke a specific feature like tethering ...
Agreed. The good news is that I've spent many hours in a "real-world workflow" with a client sitting over my shoulder and close to 1,000 tethered images with my D800 and Lr 4.2RC and it all works flawlessly. On a Mac that is....
Andrew, that is encouraging. Unfortunately I am still running into occasional problems with tethering a D3 on LR3.6--which was supposed to have been fixed--so I am going to approach tethering with LR4 in a testing mode only. (I've backed off LR4 until they get it a little closer to right in other areas--maybe 4.2 will do that.)
Yes Andrew, I agree ... Lr 4.2RC does seem to behave well with the D4 and D800 ... though I and my partners had to resort to using Aperture 3 in June and July for tethering two big jobs ... over 8,500 images with four different cameras on four Macbook Pros ... not one glitch ... Sad we had to wait until the end of August for Lr to catch up. Because, we would rather be using Lr. for all our work.
