Hi. I have an iMac 27 and an iPod touch - the older generation with no camera. Anyway, I was skeptical of getting an iPad but when the iPad 2 came out and with the addition of more features like the camera & smart cover and size it seems like a better buy.
I want an iPad because it's portable and I don't have a laptop. But I'm also interesting in filmmaking and have been considering getting the Canon Vixia, a camcorder that records in 1080p HD for about $600-700. But I'm also considering the iPad. I know that the HD is only 720p, but it has so many functions and it would be nice to have a mobile device.
I would like some opinions on getting the iPad vs. the camcorder in general, and a few other things:
--Is 3G worth it? And if so, what carrier is the best? And how much storage would you say is enough?
--How much iPad storage do you think I should get? And also, is there any way to use an external hard drive with an iPad?
--Smart covers?? Is that worth it, and are other extras worth it?
--Do you recommend getting a keyboard, or is the digital keyboard good enough? I plan do do a little bit of writing and journaling.
And if you have any other tips that would be great!
Thanks a lot!
