Anybody out there with views/experience on the iPads for use with Sigma stuff etc.

The iPad cannot process a RAW file; I'm not sure there are good solutions yet for transferring RAW files into the iPad.

What I have been doing is shooting RAW+JPG, and using the iPad to review the JPG images using the Camera Connection Kit as it will take in the JPG files only and you can look at them at full res in iPhoto for the iPad. You can connect the USB part of the camera connection kit directly to the camera's USB port, or for the SD-15 you could use the SD card reader.

The only annoying thing is that I cannot figure out how to tell back on the computer, what I have flagged or favorited on the iPad. Perhaps that has been resolved by now though.
