Hmm.* 512 GB is quite a lot then.* No issue.* No cloud
needed.

When I was traveling I looked into the iPad. Because of my
workflow, it didn't work for me. Remember, I use a high
megapixel camera.

What's high?* What size raw file?

On an iPad one could easily allocate 400 GB to photography.
Say 30 MB per image.* That would be 13000+ images.* Say you cut
that in half so you can do lot's of roadshow editing.* How long
does it take to fill 6500 images that are probably worth
keeping?

In photography one tends to reduce stuff carried around that is
not specific to photography.* An iPad v. laptop is a no
brainer.

RAW size for a D800

Image quality*** Image size*** File size*2 FX (36x24)*1 NEF
(RAW), Lossless compressed, 12-bit*** -*** 32.4 MB NEF (RAW),
Lossless compressed, 14-bit*** -*** 41.3 MB NEF (RAW),
Compressed, 12-bit*** -*** 29.0 MB

Also, there were times I wanted to do some procession. My laptop
had a 17" screen. The iPad also belongs to my wife. Every day I
took the days shooting, and downloaded it onto the Notebook, and
backed up to 2 portable HDs. If I did any processing the file
size increased.

So, how many thousand photos do you shoot per week or so?


When on a photo travel, it would not have been unusual to shoot over
400 a day. yes I did get rid of most.


So an iPad with 512 Gb could handle that quite easily for a few weeks.
Not like you're really going to shoot that many per day, every day, even
less likely to do extensive editing on many of them every day.


I already had the notebook. I used what I felt comfortable using. While
there may have been a more efficient way, I no longer take trips of more
than a few days, and I am not going to get into a debate on the tools I
decided to use several years ago.
