iPad and photography

12 years 7 months ago #155620 by mj~shutterbugg
I am debating buying an iPad and using my phone as a mobile hotspot. I am thinking it would make doing shows much easier. I could show images on it as well as ring out customers. BUT I am not sure I want to spend the money for basically 6 wks of work per year. So here's my question- how useful is an iPad in photography? What do you use your iPad's for? TIA.

I don't have an iPad so I can't sufficiently answer your question, but my thought is that once you got an iPad, you'd probably end up using it for a lot more than just photography. That's my two cents worth.

Just a bump but judging by responses no one uses iPads for photography. I am just wondering as we are debating buying on for the business.

I think if you got one you would really like it. They have very useful apps for a lot of things. I also don't have one but am anxious to see what others have to say

No, it's $30 for 2gb if I do the 3g iPad, $50 for 4gb and turn my phone into a mobile hot spot.
