I would also run around my house screaming with glee when the day comes when I could use my iPad as an external monitor with my 5D.

Do keep us posted on any findings!

I have faith that something like it will come soon, at least for Canon since their API is quite open. I just dont know how compatible it would be with the iPad.

Depends of what you are planning to shoot. But for videos involving people, I think HDSLR are better because these subject benefit greatly from the shallow DoF and aliasing isnt as much of an issue. Also, HDSLRs are better for low light shooting.

Really, it depends of what you plan to shoot. But from my experience, I have seen a lot of EX1 left in their bags once their owner got a 5D!

Which would have better image quality? A Canon 5D Mk II or a Sony Ex1?

I own the EX1 and have a redrock package… I just wonder how the MKii would stack up to it when comparing image quality…

Thanks

Apple will have an iPad camera connection kit but like you said without the Canon SDK we’re limited …

I’m doing some dev work for the iPhone (although I only have 2 months of experience), if you’re still looking for someone.

I’m not sure about the remote monitor thing. It seems like this latest Apple product could be the jack of all trades though.
- Remote monitor
- Scratchpad for review

And my personal favorite dream

- A new platform for a new version of Photoshop, Photoshop “lite”. Think Brushes but from Adobe with perhaps a lightweight file management app and the ability to tether to a Canon 5D. If it could tether to a 5D via the new wireless transmitter that would be very cool too.

I can also think of a trick application for wedding photographers.

Fr the size of the ipad, youre better off with a laptop that has more power..
