<p>I've seen a few people reporting some success in loading NEF files on to an iPad. Something I'm very interested in for a few reasons.<br>
I own a 32Gb model and would find it VERY useful for carrying in my kit bag to upload the content of afew 4Gb cards to (assuming it stores the files in the same format) as a backup of the card while out and about. It would also be a very good way to show the client the work your doing as you go. OK, it's only a 1024x768 display, but it's a pretty good one and it's immeasurably better than the LCD on the back of your DSLR!<br>
As far as the iPad is concerned, it's not a 1:1 replacement for a Kindle, Laptop OR card backup device. However, it IS a device that if owned, can carry out a good proportion of the functions of all three - within a single unit! The long and short of it is that it's probably not worth buying one specifically for this task, but if you have one, and could use it like this - it would be very useful and probably daft not to.<br>
Can you use the iPad to view and edit NEF files?
