Does anyone know if it is currently possible to tether the iPod Touch device to the newer LiveView enabled EOS DSLRs and use the iPod as a LiveView screen?

no, the ipod can put out video, but it can't take it in.

Impossible. Not really because of the camera (video out works fine), but because the iPod just plain sucks at that sort of thing. There are plenty of media players it should work with though, just need to find one with video inputs.


I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

I was just wishing the other day (everyday actually) that I could save my pics from my CF card to my iPod Touch. It's a great external hard drive, similar to the current drives out there for this purpose. Even if it could only hold jpg files it would be worth it. I'm hoping someone creates a patch that will allow this.

You can do it. Go to the app store and download the Datacase or AirShare app. It makes the iPhone (and iTouch) a wireless hard drive. You simply load the pix to your PC, and then FTP them to the app.  :p Let me add my response is not for the OP but for the last post. Don't know about LiveView.... but you can transfer pix to the device.

Archos can record video and their screens are way bigger.
