Flawed but improving!
I have an iPad, but it is a pain to connect to my Canon 1D IV to import and view pictures as it insists on using the Imported Photos system which just puts them all in a long camera roll type album which is difficult to edit. To put stuff into albums I use my desktop PC and then then copy albums through iTunes to my iPad. This works, but isn't what I really want to do.
What I want is a tablet (preferably 10") with a USB connection that allows direct reading of my camera CF/SD cards (either by direct coupling to the camera or to a small CF/CD card reader) and a Windows type "File Explorer" interface which allows me to put photos from the cards into a (new?) dedicated folder to be able to view/delete/email them. In some cases, for long trips, this would also act as a form of back up storage.
I did look a couple of years ago, but couldn't find anything that seemed suitable. but time and technology have moved on. I haven't kept up to date with every twist and turn of tablet development, but hope a Forum member might be able to help or even provide a solution?
I have trawled through this Forum but can't see anything that seems to directly address this question ..... but I may have missed it!
Thanks in anticipation,
Michael.
