So after one day of owning the 16GB IPad with Wifi, I became addicted to Apple's products. From playing with sudoku, reading the Vancouver Sun, viewing my photos and surfing the web, my whole life style changed from just this one simple product.
No longer was I chained to my desktop doing my daily emailing and research. I was now able to lounge around on the couch doing all my normal work.
However, I figure if I can do all this on my couch, wouldn't it be better if I could do it on the road? Thus digging deeper into my shallow artist account, I returned my 16GB Wifi IPad and went whole hog for the 64GB 3G version and activated my Rogers 5GB data plan.
Having the internet on the road was a mixed blessing. Although I love the fact that I could access the internet sitting at Mcdonalds, I was constantly checking the amount of data that I was consuming. It was disconcerning to find that after browsing my facebook account and a few photo pages, my internet consumption was already 10MB. Until someone can offer unlimited internet, working on the IPad with a limited data plan is not an enjoyable experience. The option is there.
Now lets get back to the original topic of the USB Camera Connector.
One of the reason for the 64GB Ipad version was the thought of using a camera connector to upload the intermediate photos like the wedding ceremony to the IPad for viewing during the reception. It is a $40 investment which opens a lot of doors for other USB attachments.
I am happy to say that my Lexar CF card reader does in fact work in standalone mode with the connector allowing the import of the photos while my camera and I continue shooting with a new card. Also the Nikon D700 does in fact connect directly to the IPad as well without any problems.
With the photos imported into the IPad, you have a choice to delete all the photos from the card (as a photographer, this is a dangerous option). All imported photos are now found under Event and of course as you upload other photos, newer event folders are created for you automatically. The only problem is that you cannot delete the imported photos from your IPad; however after connecting your IPad to your PC as a USB device, you can actually see the imported photo folder under DCIM and actually delete the photos. I know of no other way of deleting the photos.
A nice VGA pocket projector and a VGA IPad connector might provide a nice complementry service to my wedding package; however as mentioned before that this Artist has very shallow pockets.
