Hi everyone,
Not a very original topic but I searched and could not find a topic that really fit my needs or gave me the answer I'm looking for.
I shoot raw all the time, but when I travel I like the ability to sort and review my day's pictures, in order to avoid coming home with 4000 pics on the memory cards and spend an entire afternoon just for the sorting. I also like to review the shots and discuss them with my girlfriend, it's a nice way to end a busy day and talk about what we saw and liked.
Right now I'm doing it with my Samsung Note 10.1 tablet, using RawVision. I sort the pictures without exporting them, just on the card (using USB adapter + SD card reader). It works pretty well but I still find it a bit slow. Once I'm done sorting I backup the pictures on the 32GB micro-SD I have in the tablet, to be safe. This way I have two copies of my pictures and they are already sorted when I get home.
Now my first instinct, since I could have around 400€ to spend, would be to upgrade to a new tablet, faster and with a higher-res screen. I believe new tablets use USB 3.0, which would help (my card reader is 3.0) with loading the previews and transfer speed. After looking online, the Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 would be a safe bet - huge resolution, accurate colors, much improved performance, and I keep all my existing apps. Pricing is nice at the moment, the tablet goes for 350€ with a nice -100€ cash return.
The question is: do you think there is a better way for sorting your pictures while traveling, whilst keeping a similarly low profile and the same (or improved) functionality? For example, I do not plan on shooting JPEG or having to export the pictures to the tablet's internal memory (as is the case, I believe, if you use an iPad) because this would simply be too limiting.
Please, keep in mind that I have a limited budget (again, just 400€), and that any money I spend has to offer a significant improvement over the existing solution I have (which is already paid for and therefore, free).
Any input or personal experience greatly appreciated!
