There is more to how some photographers use an iPad than initially
meets the eye.

Thanks for those, Duck!

Oh, and my comment about looking stupid was generic about any
photographer, not just RichA. Not intended to be personal, but thinking
of situations where any of us might get in to to take a picture.

You might want to check the Eye-Fi cards out.
Note that if you are just going to use the iPad for Wi-Fi tethered
review, then sending JPEG only is faster and less of a burden to your
iPad/iPhone's memory capacity. This comes in useful if you have a dual
slot camera, as I do with the D300S. A CF slot for RAW and an SD slot
for the JPEGS.
So for JPEG only transmossion, they have their less expensive "Mpbi" 8
& 16 GB cards and for RAW files they have their "Pro X2" 16GB.

Large format camera shooters looks stupid behind their bellow and veil,
too.
I totally support the idea that composing on a screen makes people take
better photography.
I also support the idea that you make a better photography with the tool
you happen to have with you than with the tool you dont.

People who care about what they look like when photographying should buy
an expensive compact with a red point, retro look and leather case. It
is great for people who care about looking pretty and care about what
others thinks about them. And it is not a bad tool. Only the price is
ridiculous.

Definitively not my crew.

I cant care less about myself or others looking stupid. Or looking bad.
Acting stupid is another story.

Interesting! I don't do any tethered work, but the idea of instant
backup is appealing (although normally I would only use the iPad if
other cameras weren't available, or I wanted to post a tweet). I see
not only Eye-Fi offering cards, but SanDisk have cards with an "Eye-Fi"
marking, and Transcend with cards having a "Wi-Fi" marking. Are all
these compatible, or is it a minefield?

You need to read all the fine print. According to the SanDisk site the
SanDisk card is "available in select countries within Europe, the Middle
East, and Africa only"--I suspect that it's some kind of distribution
deal with Eye-Fi. It also does not support RAW, according to the
Samsung site.

Also, be aware that (1) the current cards from Eye-Fi are all larger
than 2 GB and won't work in some older cameras, and (2) while they have
been used successfully with CF adapters, Eye-Fi does not support such
use and pretty much says that you use them that way at your own risk.
Read the user comments on Amazon and B&H for more on the pros and cons
of using them.

Yeh! several weeks ago I was wondering why some of my images were
overexposed, and some severely underexposed. I had left bracketing on. Duh!

The country limitation could be because the Wi-Fi channels are limited
in certain countries - IIRC we are limited to 1..11 in the 2.x GHz band
here in the UK, whereas some countries allow up to channel 14.

Raw doesn't worry me.

I stopped using 2 GB cards some time back - it's mostly 8 & 16 GB now.
Having a 20 MP P&S and 24 MP DSLR have hastened that move!
