I find a laptop invaluable on site and have a G4 powerbook. I download all my files through a PC card onto the laptop. I went for a Mac over PC as at the last look, the 1Ds is only capable of tethered shooting through a firewire connection. I added a firewire on my desktop PC (with much struggling and swearing) which means I can do tethered shooting in the studio. If I need to do any sort of tethered shooting I use the laptop nowadays.
I have a digital wallet which I download files onto but I use it really as a backup now. There is a great peace of mind knowing the images are on screen on my laptop and ready to work on as soon as I get back to the studio. Battery power is my big problem though. >Don't know if you NEED it or not but it will certainly be very useful. >Use it to download images and critically evaluate them onsite... or >even better, use it for tethered shooting. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
