Hi All

A quick update on the usage of the EyeFi

I used the Eye fi in conjuction with the tab for a first time during a shoot with a client present.

They loved the fact seeing the pictures of their 6 month old baby pop up on the tablet.

And also me lighting up hearing the ooohs and aawss :)

Unfortunatly it is't all oohs and aahs as i experienced a lot of err2 and cam would lock up remove bat and power cycle it to get it working again.

I see great potential in this setup but it still needs work, I'll see if i get steadier results when i remove the metal protector.

I've tested 2 scenarios

a) DLINk 615 Wifi router / no internet

b) HTC desire with hotspot activated / internet connected

To my surprise the HTC desire using as a hotspot works the fastest and most reliable.

and has the extra advantage of being mobile and not need the extra router/power-plug.

I can not explain why this works better, but maybe eyefi needs/checks a internet connection wait for timeout end then continuous his upload...as the wifi router isn't online it makes this slower.. but again this is some guessing maybe somebody can confirm this..

Adding a network to the card requires the network/accesspoint to have access to internet which in my view is a serious flaw...

regards

Using Remote DSLR also gave me some problems. The tab dodn't connect to te camera. This left the programm frozen. dion't remeber what I did to fix it, but I think a reboot did the trick. By the way Remote DSLR does work without the dock with the use of the special USB adapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrirvs:
We have been attemptig to use these cards during our event photography and with my 1D I had no problems but with a Nikon D300s the card kept locking the Cam up and in the end had to put standard SD cards back in.

The Nikon seems to support the cards as new menu options appear once the EyeFi is inserted but doesn't function well.

Motorola app development

Hey everyone,

I have a fairly unique opportunity today to meet 1-on-1 with some developers at Motorola for app development. I am thinking it is just going to be a watered-down introduction to app development, but hey it is a good opportunity.

If anything good comes out of it I will certainly pass that along here. I wonder how they will feel when I break out my TF instead of a Xoom?! haha
[Eee Pad Transformer General] kiama:
You mean crop and straighten? Picsay Pro does that.

Sharing what's on my TF for photography:

*PicSay Pro

*Photoshop Touch

*Photo Mate

*Photo Transfer

*DSLR Controller

*QuickPic
[Eee Pad Transformer General] colonel187:
Real photoshop is available now. Dslr controller is the #1 reason I ditched my ipad2 for android.

Pre-View...as opposed to Post View?

Is it possible to get an HDMI cable, and hook from the TF to the HDMI on a CAnon and effectively have a 'live view' on the Asus?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gkillerx:
Uhm don't think so since both are HDMI out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mattlward:
All I can say is buy DSLR Controller.

This program is 7.99 and it is worth twice that. I shoot IR and having this software and tethering to my 7D and T2i is painless. Work great for HDR as well. I have adapted a tablet mount to my tripod and if the tripod goes, so does the TF101.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
Sounds like I need to look at this. I guess teh keyboard is a must for usb :rolleyes:

Can you provide more info on how you set up the mount on the tripod? Maybe a picture?

Oh, by the way. What type of cable is needed for the USB at teh ASUS? The software talks about an 'On the Go' cable for hooking to phone. But I don't see an 'On the Go' cable for standard USB. Maybe a standard USB works...?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] teva:
i dont have a pic with transformer, but it works the same.

this is my portable setup for interiror, transformer is used in studio on the same mount without keyboard.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
Thanks for that.

Is that a mount sold for that purpose, or did you rig that up? Would like to know what it is. Looks nice.

Although, I don't see how that would work with the transformer, as you need to have the keyboard on to hook to a USB.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] P500:
There is an ASUS Dockconnector-USB adapter out there afaik.

ASUS USB Extension Kit.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ewingr:
Interesting. Thanks. I found that now via Google.

What I can't seem to find is a tripod mount. Well, I find all kinds, but they are for mounting the tripod only. Uses the camera mount of the tripod, hence, no mount for camera.

I'll keep looking.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] beckywc:
I would love to know where you got the mount for your tripod as well.

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] npompei:
Haha, I am glad you edited that! Because I was just going to quote the last 3 paragraphs from that article that explain that. The only difference is that you can plug the camera directly into the Ipad (I can now with the dock) but who knows if my camera would not work, just like its doing now. So nothing different here at all.

The Ipad advantage (again, please no Apple vs. Android) is that it is possible to shoot wireless onto it using a few different apps or a jailbroken Iphone frome what I have read. But, I really dont see the TF being far off just in the fact that we HAVE to be able to come up with something for this shortly. And my goal with this forum is to get some devs working on this!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
lol @ the iPoop suggestion. :P
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
So I noticed an odd thing on this page so far... everyone has a Canon while I've got a Nikon... I'm not going to go off on the whole Nikon vs. Canon thing... I'm sure there are advantages to both. I did get me thinking though, maybe I should go ahead and plug my Nikon in and see what happens.

Attaching the cable from my transformer to my D7000 in this case a funny little window called Gallery popped up with the words "Nikon D70... Touch here to import". Being the naturally curious sort of guy I touched here to import and up came my pictures.

If I had know it was going to work I would have cleaned my screen and not shot at ISO 1600 but pics attached should help with seeing it in action.

Caveats....

The pictures did not seem to refresh until I plugged in the camera again. Or to say it another way, If I had three pics on the camera when I plugged it in, the gallery only saw those three even if I took five more, at least until I re-plugged it in and then it refreshed. There may be an option in the program I didn't really look for it. Also, I set the camera to shoot JPG instead of RAW given that it wouldn't have any way to decode the RAWs in the Gallery. I'm sure if I was going to shoot tethered like this I could do RAW + JPG and Gallery would just see the JPG's whenever I plugged the thing in for some quick proofing.

So on the off chance there are any other fellow Nikoians out there go ahead and give it a try, just seems to work by default. It looks like the only thing keeping this from being a fully tethered solution is the need to import and the need to re-plug in the camera to force a refresh... both seemingly easy software fixes down the road.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the great posts. Will try with my D700 when I get home Sunday.

Canont T2i

I've been planning on going down the path discussed here. Was hoping, but doubting capability yet, that I could monitor pictures via a tether. I do have an SD card, but doesn't sound like the WiFi SD is a great route to go.

I just tried hooking my T2i to the TF via USB. Now, the USB on it appears to be a bit different, in that the USB cable that comes with it is just RCA plugs, on the other end, and the mini USB port to plug into the camera has an extra ridge on the bottome. But, I did plug a standard mini (or is it micro?) and plugged it in.

When I did the TF sees the EOS camera, and appears to have thumbnails of the pictures. The initial thumbnail of the EOS pics has a subtitle that says to click it to import pictures. When the screen opens, it starts to read the images, but after displaying half a dozen or so, the camera display gets an ERR 70, indicating Shooting is not possible due to an error. NOt sure if it is because of the cable, or the issue with Canon not supporting Android. I haven't checked the Canon forums yet.

Looking forward to discussions here.

By the way, for an app, I am pretty happy with Just PIctures. However it does nto display RAW files.

Oh...one thing that might be interesting to try, is that the T2i has a mini HDMI, as does the TF. I don't have a cable though to test.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
Got my 50D hooked up via usb right now. Nothing. Zilch. :(

...Sent via Asus Transformer...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
Just tried the video out (not hdmi) from the camera to a usb video grabber and can't even get a live view on the TF. Disappointing.

...Sent via Asus Transformer...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chimphappyhour:
Another Nikon user here. I have a D700 and D300 (only shoot raw, 14 bit at that) that I'll have to try out it looks like. Currently, I just display edited photos on my TF using Quick Pic. The gallery app under 3.0 (maybe this has been fixed?) couldn't render the converted jpegs properly due to resolution I guess. Quick Pic did the trick though. At this point, I'm just loading the edited images onto a SD card for display.

An interesting note is that Nik has just released an app for the iPad called Snapseed. I've already emailed their wishlist with the suggestion that they need to develop it for Android tablets. If anyone else is interested, I'd suggest you email the wishlist at Nik too.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] findmike:
I've got tons of photos from the D700 viewable through the default gallery. My workflow is normally 14-bit raw to Lightroom to export 90% quality JPEG. It should be working unless you're doing something vastly different. You'll still want to use another app to view though since the built in one does an odd reverse sort and doesn't let you hide galleries.

Thanks for the tip on the Nikon app. I'm not really sure I'll ever use the tablet to edit pictures but options are always nice. There's an Adobe program for iPad called Nav that lets you use the tablet to control Photoshop menus from the device. It sounds simple but think of it as a customizable Photoshop touch sensitive keyboard. Something like that for Android would make my day, something like that with Lightroom integration would make my year.

@Nmpopei

No you are right this is infact double work, Mostly in studio work my laptop is not near me or in a direct line of sight... and then maybe it is alos handy to have it diplayed on the tab as well.

Or the Make-up artist who is sitting in the lounge to check her work in detail by zooming in on the image thus leaving my pc/laptop alone.

Lol the more I think about the more I want to use the transformer for this :)

I don't have the dock yet so I can't plug in my cam so no idea what would happen.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Nazgul:
have you tried quickpic as a gallery app? I am not a photographer, but it refreshs pictures faster than the stock app. Also you can hide folders or pictures.

Very interesting topic though.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] deanhatescoffee:
I'd like to second QuickPic as a terrific alternative to the stock Gallery app. I haven't used QuickPic on my Transformer yet but I've used it on all of my Android phones and it's extremely fast, plus you can hide folders and choose to sort by chronological or reverse-chronological order.

I have a Sony a200 that uses CF cards. I don't have a dock yet so I don't have a way to test the USB connection from a Sony camera; however, I wonder if there's some sort of adapter that would read a CF card and then send the information through to a microSD-sized "plug" that could be inserted directly into the microSD port of the TF? It seems like this would be possible since it's just transferring digital information from one thing to another, but I wonder how feasible something like this would be to actually manufacture. The more I think about it, the less hopeful I am about the prospects of such a device. :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
No, some of us have Pentax :) I have a K-7 and LOVE it! I am what is called a 'Pentaxian' ;) One app I've found VERY useful is PhoforPho, it's free on the Android Market.

Edit-It uses SD, SDHC and SDXC cards, so I can just plug the memory card into the Dock's SD Card slot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] npompei:
Wait so its not even showing the pictures up at all?! That is crazy. I dont remember from your older posts but do you have the dock? I am guessing you have to since there really isn't another way to hook it up! I can't imagine that my 7d would work and your 50d wouldn't?

I also love QUICK PIC. All my pics look amazing on it and its easy to use. I use that over the Gallery but that also has improved as others have said.

Tonight I am doing a shoot in my studio (garage!) and I am going to try and rig this setup up and see what happens. Its a self portrait for my 52 week project so I will be running back and forth so I will see if having the TF setup will be a nice addition or not. I will post back tomorrow with my setup and results.

Thanks again to everyone for posting. Its great having a growing number of photogs on here to see what works/doesnt.

I actually want to propose a question: Can we post a request in our Development section for our needs? I figure if we get this post somehow cross linked into the Development section we might get some interest from a developer who would be willing to help. Any suggestions?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
Yes I have the dock. I've exhausted my options.

Tried:

50D -> USB -> Dock (both ports) = nothing

50D -> USB -> Female USB Adapter -> Charger Cable (40pin) to both the dock and the tablet itself = nothing

50D -> Video Out Cable -> USB Video Capture Dongle -> Dock = nothing

With all of the above, each time I browsed in Gallery to see if a folder popped up but nothing happened - at all. Even looked around in File Manager HD and can't find anything.

Installed QuickPic and still nothing. Even opened up Movie Editor (updated to 3.1) and - you guessed it - nothing....

Quite disappointing. I was hoping for the very least to have Live View or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stuntdouble:
The Canon 50D doesnt have mass storage support so nothing you do will help you. With the exception of maybe an eye-fi card in a CF adapter ofc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] npompei:
Ok what about a card reader? I know I tried using a card reader when I was on 3.0 and it worked (again jpeg) and I know it still works with 3.1. So shoot a few jpegs, plug in a card reader and put your card in. See what happens. Again, sorry if you have already tried this. But I know that worked for me. Also, if you have access to various card readers, try a few just in case.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
I don't have a card reader, have never really need one. But I'll see about picking one up to try.

Right now I'm researching CF wifi options... or something.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] chimphappyhour:
Ah, what I meant is that the photos have rendering issues like straight lines aren't rendered in enough detail in the gallery to show up as a straight line. Instead, they would show up as jagged lines. It just looked bad. Haven't checked 3.1 though as Quick Pic rendered them just fine so I stuck with that.

And make sure you're asking Nik about Snapseed and not Nikon. ;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acomiskey:
Found a great picture gallery application, it is a lot like the playstation 3 photo gallery app. Would be a good presentation tool.

It's called "Floating Image". It's free in the market and has a lot of options on how the pics stream across the screen etc. Can stream local files or facebook, flickr, picasa etc. It is very well done and works great. Check it out.

Oh ya....u can also set the stream as a live wallpaper which is way cool.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
For those with a Pentax K-7 (myself being one), it has Mass Storage Support. One for Pentax, 0 for the Canikon :D

SD to MicroSD/TransFlash Card Converter Module

For anyone using SD cards, this little adapter ( < $6.00) can be plugged directly into the TF microSD slot and is compatible with SDHC cards ( I tried it with my 16Gb Patriot card). Available from Dealextreme.com

It will come in handy when I dont want to take my dock out with me.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
Are you guys aware that most photoviewers are not capable of viewing displaying the photos in full resolution?

Has anyone found an app that can view >10 megapixel jpegs in full resolution?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ThaiM:
I just want my 50D to be recognized on the TF. :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mb2k:
What I don't understand is why Adobe (or Canon/Nikon/etc) haven't taken the opportunity to come out with a solution or app for this situation. I too have a 40D and have tried both RawDroid and CR2 Thumbnail. RD is a bit basic (though still in dev stage I believe) while CT so far only recognizes some of my raw files. It doesn't seem to be a compatibility issue as the tab recognizes the 40D as soon as I connect to the dock usb.

Ideally, there should be an app that extracts the jpg file from a raw file and allows either basic or full (paid version?) editing of the raw files. If the processing power of the tab is the bottleneck for manipulating raw files than so be it, but it seems that the Tegra2 should be capable of at least some processing functions.

Course, there's still no native functionality built into to Windows, so what's the chances of development in the android environment??
[Eee Pad Transformer General] matrix311:
Got my tf. Cant wait to do some testings with my cameras.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryusen:
Hey all, amateur photographer here. i was thinking about the same thing. I wanted a tablet to use with my photography. I have no yet gotten a TF, but i'm thinking about that or perhaps the toshiba. Well basically, any tablet with a USB host is on my list of possibles. I'm glad to have found this thread. Here are a few things i wanted to add.

1- eye-fi has recently release official android and iOS apps for their x2 cards.

2- there is a really good collection on information on a specific SD-CF adapter that has worked for almost everyone who tested it: http://danylophotography.com/blog/?p=439 The caveat is the camera must support UDMA. It links to the thread on the eye-fi forum that is being unofficially moderated by one of the company founders.

3- on what's going on when we plug our cameras in. The USB host to the best of my knowledge is a mass storage host, so it's not really connecting to the camera any more than just to read the storage on the card. Since USB host has only been officially supported since HC3.1 and only a few models have it, i suspect it might be a little while before the big names spend the resources to develop full tethering software.

I do think after the more tablets have USB Host support, there might be more support from the companies.

I have a 5dMKII, a 40D, and a 1dMKii. I'll try and update if i buy the TF, to let you guys know how it works. I might give the eye-fi thing a try, since i also have a SD camera i can use it with (or give it to my mom).

Oh yeah!

4- i have been using Just pictures. I like it a lot. Especially because it will link to my Smugmug account.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
WOW, with that stable of cameras (nice ones!) I think you are a bit over most of us amateur's in the photo department ;) I'm loving my new Pentax K-7 and Transformer, thanks for the info and advice! I lost my USB Cable for the K-7, but I have a new one coming Monday from Monoprice, so I'll do some fiddling around and see what I can come up with, the does K-7 support Mass Storage Class and Picture Transfer Protocol.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
Is there an app like that for Pentax PEF RAW or Adobe DNG RAW Formats (my K-7 will do both)?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hotelmode:
I want this, as well.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HuMa892:
Best Picture viewer for full resolution jpeg´s is IMHO Quickpic!

I testet floating image, gallery, Fish Bowl an Quickpic with a 17MP File...

Zoomed in to 100% Gallery and Quickpic gave back the same quality!

Quickpic is just faster.

Edit: reference was my PC with lightroom and a calibrated monitor!

It doesn´t matter what App i use to view the Pic´s... on the TF they are all a little bit to red...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryusen:
Ok well technically, i guess i'm semi pro, cause i occasionally do freelance stuff, but i still mostly consider myself an amateur, cause most of it is just for fun. As for the cameras, i started with a Canon G1, then the original digital rebel, then a 20D, then the 40D (which is pretty much just a backup now). The 5d2 is my main Camera and i got the 1D2 as a really lucky used find (someone sold it to me for $350). Of course my purchasing habits need to change soon, cause my fiancee and i are finally house shopping. *sigh* there go all the expensive toys.

Back on topic: I am getting more and more tempted to try that EyeFi/CF adapter trick. I'll let people know if it works. A friend of mine told me about another cool photographer's tool:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.applicationgap.easyrelease I haven't tried it myself, but i'm tempted.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] californiarailroader:
I can relate to having to change purchasing habits, maybe robbing a bank is in order? Nahh, forget it, I couldn't use my Android at San Quentin :D lol Good luck on the house hunting and marriage!

That looks like a great app for model photographers, though all my subjects don't require that, I only do nature and outdoors stuff :D I guess a Deer, Lizard or Bear could ask for it, but if that happens I might need to see Dr.Robert Hartley in Chicago lol

I am totally in it for fun too, I'm fairly new to the SLR world though, the K-7 is my first one, though I've been dabbling with photography since I was a kid in the 70s (I'm 39, 40 in Nov...uhh I mean 30 :D).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] ryusen:
Cool. I just turned "30" myself haha. I guess i'm like you. I've been dabbling and playing with cameras since a kid in the 70's. I remember in the 80's when i convinced my mother to buy that AE-1 Program... It wasn't until about 1999 that i got into a more serious surge. Luckily i have a very understanding girl.

As for the money thing, My photo buddies and i joke around that sooner or later we're going to need shoot Porn in order to support our addiction.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] matrix311:
Agreed! Just make sure it's softcore and not hardcore or the wife wont be happy. I have a friend here that shoots softcore every Sunday and he makes between $1,000 to $4,000 per shoot for 8hrs of shooting. All he does is drop off his CF cards at the company when he's done and thats it. No editing involved which is the best part. I've been trying to get in to be a 2nd shooter or a backup for him if he can't make it, my wife gave me the go-ahead after i told her i can't bring the CF cards home which means i can't come home and look at the photos. If i can average $2,000 per shoot for 4 sundays a month she wont have to work anymore so thats our trade off. I shoot softcore and she doesnt work = win/win for the 2 of us :) Lets hope someday i can become a full time shooter for this company.

I shoot with a 7D and 40D currently and I'll go FF once the 5DM3 comes out or buy a used 5D2 and keep the 7D and 40D as my backups.
