I intend to use LR with my D800 and am looking into a suitable tablet for my studio. I would shoot in RAW+jpeg, and display the latter, right? As I understand, wireless is still too slow to be practical; is this correct? Any experience or advice will be appreciated. Thanks Hoggers!

I use a laptop to shoot tethered because I use lightroom installed to do it. On ebay there are several companies that refurbish older computers they put new batteries an upgrade ram I get used macbook pros for around 300.00 for my teams they work great

A laptop would be better suited for tethered shooting than a tablet, more horsepower, storage space and a much larger viewing screen. Buy as much laptop as you can comfortably afford.

For seniors and kids with a parent, I like to tether to my laptop and do initial RAW image corrections automatically as they come in and I also add directly to a sync'ed collection. I let the parent handle my ipad where they can see the pictures. I also show the parent(s) how to pick the ones they like. At the end we all go thru the picked ones on my laptop and get the initial selection done quickly. This method may not work with every parent. I have also used this method for a client during a business shoot except that the client was in another state, but I sent her a link to the Adobe online gallery. It worked incredibly well for her to call her local contact and make suggestions.

I agree, wireless is still too slow and unreliable to use full time. It is getting better, and if you only sent jpegs, it probably OK. Raw files are still (almost painfully) slow.

Good advice! Thank you. Since it will be a dedicated machine, I can use a (somewhat) older one as no gaming, etc. will be needed. Gracias!
