Ipad uses with a DSLR camera?

Can an ipad be used for live view with a DSLR camera?

Several problems in the way on this, likely to never be solved on current generation HW.
1) USB 2 doesnt have bandwith for live video.
2) Camera could theoretically perform live 264 encode and then output via USB. But I dont know of any DSLR cameras that do this, and then someone would have to write the SW on the ipad side.
Your best hope is non-live preview. Snap a shot and then view on ipad.
With the new ipads high resoultion the ipad has the potential to be a great external view screen.
I want to be able to make sure my shots are exactly in focus before I set up long time lapse sequences.
Neither the viewfinder nor the camera's screen resultion suffice.
The best (least bad) option I've found so far is the Eye-Fi pro card. The Pro version supports ad-hoc Fifi so you can beam photos directly to your iPad without carrying around a Wifi hub.
The ideal solution would be exactly the same app that works over USB so I dont have to disloge my 128GB SD card in order to put in the itsy bitsy 8GB Eye-Fi card.
You can do that throgh an arduously manual process of using the photo app to download, import, and then disply your photo.

Is Aperture Useful with unsupported digital cameras like FujiFilm S100FS?

I have been evaluating and comparing Apple Aperture with Adobe Lightroom. For me, Aperture would be my preference if my camera was supported. Note that I already am using Photoshop CS5, but could use the supplemental organizing capabilityies of Aperture.
Apple does not support my camera's raw format (Fujifilm Finepix S100FS). To make matters worse, it does no good to convert the raw files to the standard DNG format because Apple does not even support that format for this camera. Apple states that some cameras are not supported in DNG because they have different types of sensor. And one of the reasons I purchased the Fujifilm camera is that it sports a larger sensor (to capture more light).
Aperture does support TIFF files, however. So I considered the idea of converting files to TIFF before importing them into Aperture. An interesting aspect of this is that TIFF files tend to be very very large.
For example, compare the following file sizes (for the same photo):
Camera Raw direct from the camera (16 bits per pixel): 23.7 MB
Converted to very high quality JPEG (8 bits): 7.9 MB
Converted to TIFF using Finepix software (16 bits) 133.3 MB
Converted to TIFF with Esif using Finepix S/W (8 bits) 66.7 MB
Converted to TIFF using Adobe Photoshop (8 bits) 33.2 MB
Converted to CNG using Adobe DNG Converter (16 bits) 31.9 MB
It appears that the best route may be to use the Photoshop conversion to TIFF. But I would be concerned that the reduction from 16 to 8 bits may limit my ability to do extensive editing without ending up with high pixelizing results. One can see that working with the camera raw image would provide greater flexibility and use less disk space - if only it was supported.
I like the features of Apple Aperture. But, I am not willing to pay the price associated with the lack of camera support. I think that Aperture would be an asset to me if it was not for this great shortcoming. I am not currently interested in Lightroom 2 since it is a couple of years old and does not support sound and movie files to the same extent as Aperture. I may be able to use the sound organizational capabilities of Aperture since music is also one of my hobbies.
Has anyone else run into this type of problem? Is there something that I am missing? Is Aperture at all useful for a person with a camera that is not supported by Apple?

I guess the answer is digital is new and there is a lot of fighting for the Top Spot.
The way i figured things out was like this.
Best tool to do the job is what i wanted. What works for me, because i don't want to work for a computer or a camera. (but i have to) When i started looking i found Apple were the ones who seemed to make something that came nearest to working for me and not the other way round.
Of course Aperture is still very useful as it is a mega powerful Organisation tool.
If i were in your position now i would think new camera. Aperture will still be around long after your camera and hopefully getting better along the way. The camera won't, thats for sure.
A possible short, half term solution if Apple intend to support it in the near future. Would be import pairs then discard the jpegs when raw is supported.
Sorry probably not the answer you wanted.

IPAD use with Verizon Email --

When I send emails from my Verizon account, using my IPAD, the sent messages do not appear when I access my Verizon Account from a Desktop.
How can I properly sync the IPAD with my Verizon Account so real time information (viewing sent and read messages) can be seen from both the IPAD and Desktop?

Since Verizon's email is a POP service, the folders are not sync'd. If it were IMAP (like you can do with Gmail), then this would be possible. So, you can tweak the settings on the iPad to leave content on the server for received messages (this will allow you to see things in both places) but the sent messages folder will never be in sync.

Lightroom 5 Darkens Photos after Importing Images Used with Different Camera [NOT SHOOTING IN RAW NOR B

I seriously need help, my whole entire catalog of photos just got darkened for some reason after importing photos used with a different camera. What happened is that I imported photos taken with a different camera (Canon EOS 60D) and when I did that, it darkened all the rest of my photos (taken with Canon EOS Rebel T3). Why did this happen? This is making my photos insanely hard to edit.

If you always want Camera Neutral picture style to be applied, then open one of your images that you have imported and have changed nothing else in Lightroom. Set the camera profile to Camera Neutral and save new camera default settings. Then whenever you import that setting will be applied to all of your images.
If you don't always want that style, you could save a preset that applies the Camera Neutral picture style, and then you could choose to use that preset during the import process.
It is simply a matter of determining your workflow and then setting things the way you want them to work.

Lightroom, 5.5, Mac version: lens metadata incomplete and/or inconsistent. Photos taken with the same camera and lens display the lens metadata differently in LR 5.5, but are the same in the original files

LR is putting different descriptions of the same lens, used with the same camera, in the metadata of photos taken on the same occasion.
For example:
The following two images were taken with the same camera and lens.
They were imported at the same time into LR by copying.
The only difference in treatment is that the first was an untouched out-of camera jpeg, the second had been flipped using Preview on the Mac.
The one that was flipped has a full description of the lens, the one that was untouched has an abbreviated description.
When you show the file in the Finder and read the metadata using Preview, the correct full lens description appears.
Why is LR displaying the metadata differently for these two files?

Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

Camera connection kit for ipad 2. Can this kit be used with ipad air and if so what adapter(s) are required please

You can try the 30 pin to lightning adapter but I'm not sure if that'll work. So if you get it to experiment, make sure you can return it. Apple does sell a SD to lightning adapter for the newer devices. So that should be a sure bet. The main downside is that your 30 pin camera kit came with both USB and SD for 29 and now the USB adapter is 19 and the SD adapter 29, so more expensive.
You may want to look into third party adapters, but make sure you use a reputable manufacturer (ie not a cheap no-name off amazon) because iOS7 brought with it software that looks for a signed chip in the adapter. And a chip is 'signed' when a company gets apple's permission to make accessories. I would suggest sticking with companies like Belkin, Kensington and Targus. They seem to be of a better reputation when making things and would have a signed chip.

Can I use the USB cable that came with my digital camera to conect camera to iPad by connecying the camera cable to the USB end of the iPad cable?

Can anyone help me plz. My ipad will not charge. I am using the cords that came with it and it still wont charge

Can anyone please help me. I have had my ipad2 for about 5 months and it has worked fine. I am now having issues charging it. I am using the cords that came with it and the outlet that I have used to charge it in the past, but when plugged in it is recconoigzed, but states not charging. I have made sure all my updates are current and they are. Does anyone have any suggestions or helful advice that my help. Thanks in advance.

Are you plugging it into a pc? If so it will not charge the iPad as there is not enough power try the back USB ports, may work.
If it isn't plugged into a pc and plugged into your socket could be faulty socket adapter.

TS2634 Can I use my old ipod camera connector with ipad [3]? I keep getting accessory not supported message

I have tried to use my old camera connector and it doesn't work. many posts indicate the new ones don't work either. Anyone know if the USB camera connector would or should work with my ipad and my rebel T2i camera? Would buying a new connector work?
Thanks.

What do you mean by "old camera connector"? Do you mean the one that was put out years ago for the iPod? No, that doesn't work. The current Camera Connection Kit works just fine.

Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition videos from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?

Can now with imovie 1.2.2 and iOS5 edit 1080p high definition video from DSLR cameras like the EOS 5D Mark II on ipad 2?.
That would be great, you would open the door to professional video editing ipad 2. Is there an accepted camera list?.

There does not appear to be a list yet.

Can i use my old slr lenses with new dslr rebel T3i camera

I am contemplating buying the Canon Rebel T3i DSLR, but have read varying opinions on whether or not my older lense collection from Rebel Eos SLR will be compatible. Please help

All the Canon EOS lenses from a film SLR will work on any of their digital SLRs.
The sensor on the T3i is about the same size as a single frame of negative from APS-C film (APS-C = Advanced Photo System - Classic size). Those were the drop-in cartridge rolls that started to become popular in the 1990s. It's a little smaller than a single frame of 35mm film.
Canon also makes DSLR cameras that have "full frame" sensors -- which means the sensor is the same size as 35mm film.
When you shoot with, say, a 50mm lens on a 35mm film camera you are used to a certain angle of view. Since the sensor on a Rebel body is a little smaller, it's as if someone cropped in on the negative slightly and decided to make a print using only the middle area of the negative. This results in a tighter angle of view -- it's almost as though you've zoomed in a bit.
For this reason, the APS-C sensor is referred to as a "crop frame" sensor.
The crop factor is 60% (multiply by 1.6). In other words, suppose you had a 50mm lens on your film body. When you put that same lens on a Rebel T3i, you would multiply the focal length by 1.6. 50 X 1.6 = 80. This means the 50mm lens on the camera with the APS-C size sensor is going to provide an angle of view which is approximately the same as using an 80mm lens on the film (or full-frame sensor) camera. The Canon 6D, 5D series, and a few of the !D series bodies (such as the current 1D X) have "full frame" sensors ... the same size as a 35mm negative. (Some 1D bodies used APS-H size sensors which have a 30% crop factor but Canon does not currently make those anymore -- you can certainly find them on the used equipment market.)
Your Canon EOS lenses WILL all work on the T3i body, but you'll notice you get a narrower angle of view (and there's nothing wrong with that -- it just takes a bit of getting used to.)
Canon also makes "EF-S" lenses which reduces the cost to build the lens by using elements that are not designed to completely cover a 35mm negative -- it only project an image circle which is large enough to cover the APS-C sensor. The up-side is that they cost a little less. The down-side is that if you ever chose to get a camera that uses a full-frame digital sensor then you would not be able to use those "EF-S" lenses.
But Canon's EOS "EF" lenses work on _every_ EOS camera body, film or digital.

Have an ipad 2 and have bought the camera connection kit to use with my flip ultra. However when try to connect ot says there is not enough power to support accessory. Can anyone help please?

If you have ios 5.1.1 the output power is 100ma, on the iOS 5.0.1 the power output is 500ma! This may be the cause?

How would people like me link DSLR cameras to an iPad 2/3 for real time shooting control?

Is it possible to link a DSLR camera to an iPad 2 (and 3) via HDMI in real time? I wish to use the new iPad 3 as a high resolution preview monitor to help me frame my shots (still and HD video). I know a few users have been asking similar types of questions, but I feel that my approach hasn't been fully thought out yet. I know many people want to use the camera display kit in tandem with their DSLR and SD card to obtain this mythic ideal, but obviously the camera display connector seems to be too slow.
Will a hdmi connector theoretically help solve this or am I still at the mercy of the actual pin connector on the iPad itself?
Thanks guys and gals in advance.
Cheers!

Yeah I was wondering if I could patch both the camera kit and the HDMI connector together to make this happen... seems like some hig level coding would be needed to create a working solution.
Thanks for the fast reply!
