Carrying a tablet for displaying portfolio?

Does anyone do this? Ive checked out many tablets and for the price it seems like either the ipad or the nook would be the best for carrying around to display photos.

any insights?

PS

i searched

I use an IPAD and it works great

yea this may be my next buy. nooks have such a great screen for only 150 used

I use an iPad for my portfolio. The app I use is actually called Portfolio for iPad.

Clients love it. Just make sure to give it a quick wipe down before handing it to them. Don't want to give them a tablet that is already covered in fingerprints and grime!

I do this as well.

Unfortunately I bought a Droid xyboard which does not have a standard SD slot so I have to use a microSD with an SD adaptor in my camera and then use the microSD in the tablet.

i use both a micro sd and the normal its pretty handy cause then i can send pictures straight from the camera

so for the most part its very effective for business?

i also need business cards, too many people have been asking me for them which i havnt had anything to give them

Cards are the most basic, and probably the cheapest (other than word of mouth) advertising you can do.

The tablet has been really good. I'm going to use it more extensively this Fall for youth football.

I picked up an HP Touchpad at the firesale last year. It was around $180 out the door delivered to me for the 32gb. I've loaded it up with some photos and used it in a meeting with a client one time. It was effective, but the negotiation really didn't require the tablet, nor did it really change the outcome (I was already the photographer who was getting the job, it just confirmed their comfort with me). The majority of the time, the touchpad sits on my coffee table and is used for casual browsing while watching TV, or watching movies on a plane trip.

I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a tablet for photography purposes, but having a tablet is handy overall for multiple reasons.

im mostly interested in having it on hand when im commuting or shooting in public. many people are stop and ask about photography and i figured it would be nice to show them my portfolio on the spot to make a good impression.

I think it's a great idea, I have a direct link on mine to my smugmug website, plus several types of photos depending on their interest, and I can use it to accept cards on the spot.

I was at a Home & Landscaping Expo this past weekend and one of the vendors had a tablet to show his work. I thought it was a great way to show his work. He could sweep through many categories of work (deck, yard, stucco, etc.) then drill down to individual photos if necessary.

iPad 3 coming out March 3rd, so wait for that and see if the specs fit your fancy. Retina display is expected.

i just know i will never use an ipod to its fullest and im on a budget.


on a side note.... I shot at 100 iso for the first time.....

i prefer a book of 13x19s myself but i guess that's not something you would carry in your bag at all times
