Viewing camera roll on ipad from mac

Question

When my ipad is connected to my mac is there a way to just view images on the camera roll, not to include all imported photos as well? 
I have 4400 images on the ipad and only 126 in camera roll on ipad.  I want to be able to just import the 126 photos in the camera roll to the mac (I've just moved these from ios iphoto).
I tried various options in the view menu but there doesnt seem to be anything that enables a sort?
At the moment I'm having to go to the respective dates and to select images.  Is there an easier way.

Veronica, do you only want to view the photos on your Mac or archive them in full quality on the Mac?
The "Shared Photo Stream" suggested by Old Toad  is great for browsing the photos, viewing and sharing, but it will compress the photos slightly and not transmit at the full resolution. If you want to download them in full resolution from the Camera Roll, to archive them finally on your Mac, you could try to save selected photos to iTunes:
Save photos to your computer using iTunes
Connect your iOS device to your computer.
Select a photo, album, event, or journal and tap the Share icon  > iTunes.
If you selected an album or event, confirm or change the photos you want to share:
Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
In iTunes, select your device  icon (below Devices) and click Apps at the top of the window.
Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the photos.
To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.
