However, what I would like but I suspect it is a very faint hope is tethering and remote control via the USB cable for the M9 to an iPad screen. I don't know if the S2 has remote control and tethering via the USB/firewire cable.

Wilson,

 

So far as I am aware, the only way to achieve remote control of a camera on an iPad is via a server on a PC (or Mac), as Apple does not allow direct access to the iPad USB connection.

 

There are a couple of such on the App store, but the server requirement makes them fairly fragile in use, and also not useful if you're in the field.

 

Hopefully Apple will do away with some of its current restrictions over time.

 

Regards,

 

Sandy

Sandy,

 

For me I don't want to do anything on an iPad other than check general composition and lighting. I think trying to do photo-maniplulation and/or correction on the non-calbrated screen by poking around with your finger tip, just doesn't make sense. I don't even like using a mouse and on my iMac, I use a small Intuos 4 pad and stylus. Once you get the hang of using the buttons on the pad and configure them to your liking, it speeds up use of CS5/C1 a whole lot, particularly for limited area alterations with brushes.

 

However, what I would like but I suspect it is a very faint hope is tethering and remote control via the USB cable for the M9 to an iPad screen. I don't know if the S2 has remote control and tethering via the USB/firewire cable.

In general, there is a need for better support of external screens in the S2. I purchased the DP6 HD screen from smallhd.com to review my photos (and in particular to verify focusing and sharpness) while being on the move. The screen is excellent, but I can only use drive it with the slideshow mode of the S2 over HDMI. There is no way to let the S2 mirror a recently shot image to a stand-alone screen - which would have been very desirable to the way I work with the camera. Tethering to a standalone HDMI or display is definately on my wish list of S2 improvements.

Yeah, we are waiting for iPad, but it we are not sure that it have S2 fetuses or not. Most surprising is that we are even not know price of it. how it screen react. So wait till 2012 to know about price , about its screen. iPad 3 have all those features or not which iPad first and second generation have.
