I had a video on here earlier about the 7D – and after watching it realized that it kinda seemed like I was ripping on the 7D, which I wasn’t. I am going to remake that video because the 7D is a really great camera and Im not dissing it at all.
Today I picked up my iPad. I know many of you are probably convinced right now that you are not going to get one – in fact we had a poll on here and many of you said you wouldn’t. I am absolutely sure that this is an extremely revolutionary device, mainly for the “user experience”, and many of you who swore you wouldnt ever buy an “oversized” ipad, will.
I opted for the 64GB, 3G model because we are going to be doing some testing with some new video products. Not exactly sure if this is something I will be doing for sure or not, but I am looking at it. Many of you have wanted downloads for a while, this would be something I would be comfortable with.
I’m going to continue testing it and iPad apps. One of the one’s I am really interested in is Netflix but I hear that it is having some streaming issues. If they can get that sorted out- wow- that would be HUGE- unlimited movies direct to your iPad? Anytime? On 3G? Please tell me someone can get that working right!
Michael, I purchased your 50D video and have really enjoyed it. I never could get a good answer on the differences between the 5D and 7D. It didn’t appear to me that you dissed the 7D. They are different cameras and I learned a lot in planning toward my next body. Thanks for your hard work. I check your blog regularly. Thanks for being a great mentor! =) p.s. looking forward to more Haiti pics. My dear friend is headed back there in a week…..
the netflix app works great over wifi (I don’t have the 3g version, so not sure about that). also get the abc app. you can stream almost all of the current Abc program lineup. it keeps me caught up on lost, if that is possible. there are apps that do a good job with word documents, excel spreadsheets and powerpoint presentations, I am drawing a blank as to what the names of the apps are, but I can look when I get home and post it later if you are interested. not sure if you are a big reader, but the ibooks app is a fantastic e-book reader and the main reason I can’t ever use the ipad because my wife is always reading books on it. 🙂
@ Adrian- Thank you for the tips- I will be trying them out. I am especially interested in the Net Flix App, it would be huge for me because I typically watch about 5 movies a week. If any readers out there have suggestions on apps, I would absolutely love to know what they are.
@ Jules- Thank you! I need to redo that video for a few reasons- I was amazed by how many emails I got from people who regretted owning a 7D after watching it, and they absolutely shouldn’t. I love the 7D! I also have additional information about both cameras I should share.
