The biggest mistake made when buying iPad devices is to buy too little storage memory. I would consider 32 G an absolute minimum... 64 or 128 G are better.
Yes, you can read from SD cards with the Lightning SD card connector. You need an app to write to an external file system like a disk drive (I've never used one) and you can use cloud services like DropBox for file transfer too. Software on Windows and OS X facilitate transferring files and data from the iPad to desk or laptop systems. I just received my iPad Pro 9.7, with 256G and cellular. It's a terrific system, and the best at processing RAW files yet. As a test, I transferred 36 DNGs from the SL (24 Mpixel) and converted them to full resolution TIFF files. The raw conversion took about four minutes, quite a lot faster than with my iPad mini 3 due to much more RAM and much faster processor. I'm typing this note on it at present: the keyboard cover accessory is excellent. G > On Apr 18, 2016, at 7:19 AM, David J Brooks <[email protected]> wrote: > > directly, no mine does not.
