Full USB, HDMI, Micro USB and SD card slot. You could just put the JPEGS on a jump drive or an SD card and have all the flexibility in the world.

The iPad is light and thin and has a good photo app and others available via App Store. Canon born and raised, future Sony-convert?

Aug 31, 2011 08:08 | #9 the iPad. Just get the $30 camera connection kit - has an adapter for both USB and SD cards that plugs into the dock connector on the bottom. Battery life is phenomenal, and the screen color and viewing angles are amazing. It has an IPS screen. There are also tons of photo editing/tweaking apps on the app store, in some cases you can make quick adjustments on the fly. Cameras: 7D2, S100

IPS is essential for viewing if there's more than two people trying to see at the same time. Other screens start losing colour at anything but straight-on viewing angles.

There are, actually, some decent quick editors on the iPad. Luminance is one, as is Pixlromatic (although that is more of a picture effect generator), and I'm sure there are a few others. They aren't a replacement for a full blown editor on a PC, but they are amusing and useful for quick edits in the field. Cameras: 7D2, S100
