ipad2 + card reader + Hawaii

[Nia]

That last part got ya, didn't it? Lucky me, we leave for Hawaii in 9 days. This will be first trip to Hawaii and first trip with dslr so I have some questions.

Has anyone tried the apple memory card reader? My only possible means to upload while away would be through the ipad.

How much memory should I take? I am going to be snap happy :)

Appreciate any help, Nia

I use one all the time - or I did while I was still shooting on digital. Works just fine. As for how much memory you need? Depends on a lot of factors - whether you shoot in RAW or JPEG, how much storage space is on your iPad, etc.

Depending on how many apps, etc. you have on your iPad, you should be quite fine. Mine is only 16GB and I did okay on a weeklong trip.

We use ours with the iPad all the time too. Never any issues.

You should be able to save your images into iCloud once you upload them onto your iPad and then you won't have memory issues. (if you use iCloud)

Memory cards are so cheap... take a lot and keep your originals on them until you get home. Backup to the iPad. Here's a workflow article...

I use the reader with my iPad and it works quite well. It's nice to be able to do a preliminary sort and delete the obvious bad shots. Even if you have several memory cards I like to have the iPad as a backup. Space shouldn't be an issue, even on a 16gb iPad - I know someone who has several hundred raw files on an iPad with no issues.

@beautifulthing @danacarruthers @heatherwilsonaz @aspada @ronah thank you all so much, bought the card reader today and think I am good on memory cards. Will look at that workflow article Amy.
