I have a pretty specific question...
I'm a travel photographer on the side, a lightweight backup solution for my Canon 5d. It uses CF - not SD. Curious - will the host usb port on the keyboard dock allow me to transfer pictures from camera to SD card? to internal memory? anybody willing to try?
Or are there any other ways to do this that I don't know about? currently I use an ipad with a camera connection kit, but I'm not really a big fan of apple's software.
If your camera supports itself as being a mass storage device then yes it should work fine.
couple of issues that i have seen
1. Cannot scan images on camera sd card when inserted into dock. I can see the image files using a file manager and you can view/open the pics one at a time but cannot multi select so that you could flip thru them in gallery. Opening them one at a time is cumbersome especially if you have hundreds of them.
2. Image quality is subpar when viewing your dslr highres pics. I dont expect a lot but clicking on an image should not show a picture with jagged edges. The pictures are not vibrant at all like you would expect them normally to be and how they are shown on my monitor.

For your first issue, you can use Quickpic. I think it scans for sd cards by default, the but even if that doesn't work, you can set folders to scan.

How long did you wait after opening a picture to judge its quality. Android has always taken a few seconds to fully render the quality of a picture in the gallery app. We are talking about low quality, small files taken by the phone camera. I would imagine these files are much larger and would take much longer to open at full quality see as they are from a much higher quality camera.
In short, I hope you were not judging the quality based on the preview that is provided before the full pcture loads.

Hmm...I was accessing the sd card (class 10) via the slot in the dock and when I'd browse a picture, it would not show up properly and perhaps would not load fully? I was using one of the file managers that I downloaded. I'm pretty sure that I waited a long time since I spent several minutes zooming in and out of the partially rendered pics.
But mirumirai's suggestion for using quickpic worked wonderfully. I can see all the pictures in full clarity even though they are around 5mb average in size.
Thanks for the help!
I have been using my transformer to view 4-5MB images from my dslr. I have been reading from sd card and using QuickPic, can view the pictures in the same maner as if transfered to the main drive.
It takes in the region of 1 second to fully resolve image quality for each image, which is slightly faster than some viewers on my PC.
I have had no problems with copy and pasting the entire image folder from the sd card to the picture folder within the file manager.
Going off the OP's question, has anyone done this with a COMPACT FLASH card, NOT an SD card? I am wondering what would be the best route to take for transfering from my Canon 7d onto the TF. I would love to view files in the field somehow, easily.
I know the Eye-Fi SD cards work as I have seen a youtube video of that but just wondering how the CF cards would work? Anyone?

USB card reader?

I preordered the Toshiba Thrive today as it is the only tablet (currently) to support full size sd cards (without a dock). My main reason for ordering this is to take along with me on photo shoots, to be able to review pictures quickly and easily without needing to have a laptop with me. Can android deal with RAW camera files? Or are there any apps out there that can?
Anyone? Or do I have this posted in the wrong section??
Hi everyone,
I've had a Galaxy Tab 10.1 (the original, that is) since last June. I just picked up a GT 2 7" the other day, to use with an Eye-Fi SD card (specifically http://www.eye.fi/products/prox2). The tablet will live in a camera bag. Its sole purpose will be for reviewing photos and video from a Canon 60D for social photography scenarios (in which the tablet easily one-ups the articulating screen on the 60D).
I'm currently experimenting with BlackICE Kangorade and AOKP, however I would like to remove the clock and all icons from the lower-right corner, and center the navigation buttons on the nav bar.
I'm always interested to hear feedback on how I'll be using the tablet, but what I'd really appreciate is some guidance on making these UX modifications.
It's a shame this won't work with raw images. I'm guessing you shoot in jpeg. Nice little setup you have.

I shoot in JPEG in more casual situations, but I do shoot RAW when the quality of the end result is of vital importance. The Eye-Fi Pro card has full support for RAW images, and I plan on writing my own application for the viewing of images and videos (RAW included) on the tablet. I've worked with Canon RAW data formats in the past.
But yeah, even if I don't end up with full RAW support it will be a very nice setup indeed.
You know, you can buy a USB adapter for your tab and plug your camera. Then you can find some existing apps to visualize and to trigger you camera from your tablet.
The adapter is about $30.

Of course, I did consider that. The point of the Eye-Fi card is to do it wirelessly and automatically, and I already have it working. That functionality outweighed any wired solutions in my opinion. Any photos and videos I take are already visible in the Gallery on the tab within about forty-five seconds, no action necessary on my part.
I have a a Canon 7d camera and would like to be able to take photos without the tablet attached and then either downloading them into the memory or be able to display the photos directly from the camera?
It would be nice to see what we have taken when far far away from a computer. Just me the camera and the tablet.
Thanks

Hey all - I have a couple of different accounts for putting photos on web folders - but not sure what would be best (get the most resolution for our screens) as it seems that most the web folders shrink photos by default... maybe the shrinking isn't that big of deal for us, but wanted to know what folks are using to show off photos that they've put up online.
DeviantArt doesn't shrink...
As for viewing photos on my tab, I use the folder on my MicroSD, not a webfolder. On interviews, presentations and the road, I don't exactly have WiFi available.
