| ->> Butch can you save me a lot of reading please? Is there an app for taking control of the camera? Getting the images transmitted back to the tablet is nice but I want to be able to change ISO or shutter speed or aperture. Does such a beast exist for a tablet? Apple or otherwise. |

->> I work with a Tablet-PC. It s*cks.
I use it in a special matter, that's something to be said. In my normal job I'm a photographer in crash testing and I use the tablet to set up the high-speed camera's.
I plug in the tablet to a camera, make the settings, check the view, adjust it real time and then unplug it.
When viewing in live-modus, the tablet can't always proces the image from the sensor (1.5 mp) and it get's locked up. The framerate is 30 fps, so there is no big amount of data goign over the gigabit. It's not like real-life-modus (at least 1000 fps)
The tablets we own (3 or 4) are simply not fdast enough to keep up with the job. I rather use the laptop instead. Much more stable and much more rigid. The tablet pen always gets lost, the turnable screen gets lose after a while (these things are used daily, but we do not throw them around)
For reading out the camera's the tablet is way to weak. A powerfull laptop even takes enough time (normaly 20 minutes fot four camera's)
When shooting indoors (not on location) we use a normal PC with three slaves and even then it takes 15 minutes to read out 10 camera's (2GB of dat from each camera)
But a tablet won't cut it at all. It would probably give me the results the next day. Some customers expected everything (high speed video and normal pictures) within 4 hours after the test.
If I have to use something to have portable acces to a camera or to shoot thetered, I will choose a laptop.
And, secod to that, the screens are better and bigger. |
