Is there a way to use the imac as a viewer for my Nikon Camera?

Sorry Aperture will not work that way.

For images to be visible in Aperture they need to be imported (or at least viewed in the import viewer). There is no live viewing.

The norm is for the camera to be used a data-gathering device and the computer as a data-processing device. Additionally, camera cards are thought of as temporary storage, whereas computer drives are thought of as perduring. I don't see any of that changing any time soon (with the possible exception of the now-arriving merger of hand-held computers and small-sensor cameras).

You would need something like this:

And software to view the image.

And how would one attach that to an iMac?

I said "like this", not "Use this". 8^)

I am just pointing out that the only way to do what he wants is to view the HDMI signal from the Nikon, and even then, he would have to step through the pictures on the camera. It is not a very practical solution, so I did not put much effort into it. 8^)

But people have done wierder things.

yes you can

Please, evo4mm, enlighten us.

If your Nikon camera supports it, you can do what you want with Nikon's software.
