Pre-order the Canon 5D Mark III You probably know how much I love my camera gear, so when last night Canon announced it's allowing your to pre-order the Canon 5D Mark III I can't express how excited I was. I've owned the first Canon 5D, the 5D Mark II, and now my main camera is...
Well if that didn't get your attention enough, rumors are true [!!] and this coming December it looks like we're going to be adding another little member of the Grant family. Tanya and I decided back in January that we were probably due to have a kid after all we started with a rabbit, then...
Happy New Year’s everyone! I am so happy to say that 2010 was an amazing year for us at Ian Grant Photography. We’ve met a ton of cool new people, shot some of the most beautiful weddings, and we had the happy news that some of our couples welcomed new members to their families. On...
So this is my new thing, Tanya loves to make fun of me because I go through periods of being obsessed about things and then research them to death and then she laughs at me. It's pretty funny, so maybe every so often I'll do a big review about the current things I'm obsessed about...
I'm totally an electronics person, so it's kind of nice that buying cameras and computers can be part of my job...or at least it gives me an excuse sometimes. Anyway, people have been pretty split over this Apple iPad thing, and my take is it could be a really great tool for us photographers. I...

I've been all over the place in tech decision-making lately...it's not coming out for a few months, so I have some time to decide thankfully. I appreciate the info!

If you're out in the middle of nowhere, you will likely get Edge (that's the slow non-3G service) wherever you can get a cel signal. So if you have AT&T, and you know where your phone works, that'll help. I don't know if the ipad has edge capability or just 3G. Edge is ok on my iPhone, but it would likely be terribly slow if it was loading pages and such at a much higher resolution on something like the ipad.

Question for you then: Does it get regular internet service, and just not 3G? I don't mind having slow internet if I'm like hanging off a cliff or marooned in the middle of Death Valley. I have an iPod touch, and I agree with you- it doesn't really do a whole lot more than the touch...it's just bigger. I think it'd be great to take to meetings and franking I think I'm most excited about Square that's coming out soon.

stopping by from lj, just an fyi... you're not gonna get 3g coverage in the desert. I have an iPhone, and although the ipad is something I've considered, the fact that it can't do anything that my phone can't do completely turns me off. and my phone is already 32gb.

I'd just assume not jump on the AT&T bandwagon too- I really like the idea of the Mifi, though the idea of limited data kind of scares me...especially when you're getting nailed by the K with Verizon [I do like their service with my current phone though]. Its an amazing concept though!

Ian,
Thanks much for the plug, but we at J&R jumped the gun and put the iPad on pre order accidentally. Apologies for the bad link!
I'm more than likely going to get one myself, but base non wireless version. I'm thinking it may be more cost effective to purchase the Verizon Mifi ($60 a month data access). This way I have wifi data access to the iPad, notebook, and iPhone. Data service is iffy AT&T here in the downtown NYC area.
RE: Talking Tanya into this, being that you can directly import images from your camera to the iPad directly... Isnt this tax deductible? :)
This my friends has been my favorite new purchase as of late. It's called the Digital Harinezumi camera and it's about as cheap as it gets. The camera sports pretty much plastic everything, a joke viewfinder, and looks like an old 110 camera. That's where the fun comes in, this company called SuperHeadz which is...
