I got one of those new shiny things for myself, now I'm finding it hard to justify once the common sense kicked back in.
Obviously the v3 vs 2 was very straightforward - the screen in v2 just wasn't right. I even managed to get 32GB (more like 26 to be fair) to make it worse (or better).
So what do I think? It is nice to read news, ebay, books - all the small things. It is probably a great travel companion. Email is OK, but rather poorly executed (where is the delete option? and the horrible layout), calendar works badly with gmail.
Then came the big shock - and I was aware already that it was problematic with photo stuff. So:
Probably if MBP 13" gets proper upgrade to USB3 + Retina display this is what I'll get - obsoleting this once and forever :thumbsdown:
Anyway - I am still interested how to incorporate this into PRO photo workflow, and any on the spot up selling in weddings, etc. Please share.

Then came the big shock - and I was aware already that it was problematic with photo stuff. So:
- Zenfolio app works - fine I can show my portfolio on
- My (Zenfolio) website opens and in theory a poor soul could be images on the spot from me, and get them delivered next day
- BUT only 1D III talks to ipad. The Ds2 takes forever :bang:, unless I shoot to SD card (quite slow - and no way to split JPEG / RAW into SD / CF). Why no FW, or CF card download?! No camera control!
- RAW support is shocking bad! They only open previews and mess with them. iPhoto is a waste of money. As much as I looked elsewhere I couldn't find anything worthwhile.
- As above, I can't find a single really useful app for photography (RAW support, metadata, 16bit, basic editing, and full size jpeg export)
- where is my FTP + file manager?
- why can't I even delete anything except in original photo app?
- no USB storage?!!!! WHF apple?
