Well I have two issues with a brand new IPad. I saw the camera connection kit that you can buy for it, but there is always a catch. I wanted to use it as a light weight image back up. Well the brain trust at apple only made a port for an SD card and no way to get a compact flash to get the images into the device. It does have a US mini port where the camera could do it, but that also means I am not taking more photos while its doing it and its slow. I am using a Canon 50D. There must be a practical way to get images into the Ipad without waiting on the camera download. Also any suggestions on must have photo apps for the Ipad. There has to be a few apps for that. I just fell off the hip train about a decade ago and have no idea what they might be now. I am probably the only person on the planet that hasn't played a single game of Angry Birds. Mark
