I am looking to see if there is a small monitor of sorts that I can use during shoots so that I can see the pictures as they are shot. I know about thetering to the laptop, but was looking for something smaller that I could use. It does not necessarily have to save the photos cause that would be on my memory card which I would then transfer to my desktop for editing and such. Could I do that with a good version of a Samsung pad??? Not a Apple user so Ipad is out of the question. Thanks in advance.. Connie

Yes, no and it depends.

With many cameras that have built-in WiFi or can be fitted with an accessory wireless transmitter, you can monitor what the camera is seeing real time. In other words, you can see the image before it's shot on almost any WiFi-enabled monitoring device, be it a desktop, laptop, tablet, pad or even a smart phone.

However, what you can't do on all of them is review images after they've been shot. In order to do that, you have to copy the images to the monitoring device and many of them simply don't have the storage space, fast enough WiFi data transfer rate or large enough WiFi range to be practical. You also need a software on the device to be able to catalog and access the image files... for example Lightroom. Especially the smaller tablets, pads and phones have very limited data storage space, a practical a working range that's only 15 or 30 feet, and operating systems that only use smaller apps instead of full-featured software programs.

Small devices are improving and getting more storage... And some of the large programs are being reduced in size or new, more compact versions are starting to be offered, plus apps are being written that can do more. And some of these devices may be able to work in conjunction with some sort of external or cloud storage, if internal storage isn't adequate. But as of now many of these options are sort of leading-edge and likely to be costly. Right now, it's probably more practical and affordable to work with a laptop, if you want to be able to review and work with images after they're shot.

My Samsung Tab 3 does that extremely well with a usb cable. Might even be able to do it over WiFi, but probably slower.
