The battery gives me 10 hours of portability which slips easily into a
camera
bag, and provides me with all the function I need on the road, and then
some,
all with less weight and bulk than even a notebook PC.

But there is no need to lug around the tablet the whole day, while you
are taking pictures, right? Just leave it in the hotel, or why would you
want to carry it around?


There is no need to lug it around, but if you needed to the bit of added
weight is negligible.

Instead of the tablet you can bring along another lens, a flash or piece
of photo equipment, which improves your photo capture capability in the
field.


With my Fujifilm set up, I have my camera, 4 lenses, extra batteries, some
filters, and a few other goodies which all fit handily into my Domke bag.
Moreover, I could if need be, slip the iPad into the back sleave of the bag.


JOOI, what sort of case do you use for the iPad?


I bought the Apple Smart Keyboard, which folds to protect the display. I
might get an additional sleeve sometime in the near future.

I've had a succession of iPads - wonderful things. But I've never found
a case that protects the iPad without doubling the bulk and adding about
half to the weight.


At the thickest point (the keyboard) it adds a bit more than ¼” thickness
(about 7mm) and at its thinest about 1/8” (about 3mm). The added weight is
barely noticable.

Of course, we all have a different view of 'protect'.


Yup! We also, all have a different view of how to care for stuff.

While there is a 12? iPad Pro available, the 10? is the better choice
when it comes to portability. The resolution provided by the Retina
display
is superb. I can edit 6000 x 4000 images down to a pixel level if I need
to.

Maybe your eyesight is better than mine, but if I have to go through
200-300 images in the evening, a big screen helps a lot. For my
purposes, a 10" screen is just too small. I cannot zoom in and out all
the time. Actually even 12" is too small. I'd like to have at least 14".

snip

To start with, the Apple A10X with M10 coprocessor is as fast for my needs
as
most laptop/desktop machines, and in some cases faster.

But tablets are optimised for battery life, not performance. When you
quickly browse through hundreds of images, open RAWs for editing trying
out different settings, use panorama software to stitch images - that
all drains the battery quite a lot.


Just for the Hell of it, since I had yet to stitch a panorama with Affinity
Photo on the iPad Pro I thought I should at least say I had done it.

To start with I took this sequence of three shots from last year, and from
my
desktop, dropped them into an iCloud folder.

I then went to the iPad and opened Affinity Photo - selected New Panorama,
and selected the three shots for stitching. Created the uncropped pano.
Cleaned up the crop so that the image is ready for any adjustments.

Other than picking out the shots on my desktop, the entire iPad pano
stitching operation took less than one minute.

Here is how things happened on the iPad.

Impressive! But those are 1MB files - do things slow up a lot with 30MB
RAW files?


I will run that same test with the three corresponding RAF files, and report
back.

OK! That didn’t take long, exactly 1 minute 41.44 seconds.

The RAF’s were from an X-E2, sized 33.8 MB, 33.8 MB, & 33.7 MB
respectively.

PTGUI merges a three pic pano (24MP each) in 5 seconds on my four years
old notebook with a core i7. That's 20 times faster than your ipad.

Though I haven't made any speed tests on it lately Hugin, looking for
Mumin I suppose is a free panostitcher with a GUI and it's based on
PanoTool too! Available for Windows, Linux and the Mac. Not for iStuff
though.

ios devices (ipad or iphone) shoot panoramas in real time, no stitching
needed.

you're also comparing different software and are probably stitching
jpegs (skipping the raw conversion), therefore a completely bogus
comparison.

Real time panoramas are vertical micro tiles stitched on the fly. Take a
better look. The arn't that good though, compared to the real thang but
for them holiday snaps they'll give you that wider view.

If you have an Android phone like my Xperia M4 you'll find "Sweep
Panorama" under the "Camera Apps" menu in the "Camera" app itself...
Quite good actually: No need for extras. :-))

iStuff panos are stitched micro tiles and limited by their tiny cameras.

This is the real thing...

I hope you are comparing a similar process workflow, not just the time the
merge/pano stitching took. If so I will retime for just that portion of the
test.

Just to be clear. that was for the whole task, which included selecting the
three RAW files from my desktop hard drive, loading them to the iCloud Drive,
opening Affinity Photo on the iPad, selecting the three RAF files from the
iCloud folder for pano stitching, and completing the crop. The actual
merge/pano stitch was probably in the region of 5-8 seconds.

Anyway, the bottom line is, given the negligible amount of time I devote to
producing panoramas when travelling, I am not too concerned if producing a
pano is going to take 5, 10, or 20 seconds or 1-5 minutes.I might take a road
trip where the thought of capturing a panorama never enters my mind. So for
that the iPad is OK if I ever need that function on the road.

Did I mention that panos are not really as big a thing for me, as they are
for you? It is not as if that time spent to produce a single pano, was a
massive part of my life wasted.
