Tour de France TABLET CAMERA
What the iPad needs, aside from a kick butt camera, is an app that can let you adjust your shot on the touch screen as if you're operating an old fashioned rails and bellows camera. Because if you're going to haul that bulky-ass thing around and get in people's way, you ought to be doing it because it provides something that your phone or pocket camera doesn't.
On our bus tour of South Korea last year one of the fellow tourists was hauling their ipad up and down mountain trails and through rocky paths. Ended up kind of admiring their commitment to using a digital camera that requires two hands to operate while trying to not fall off piles of rocks when everybody else was able to hang onto the railings while making their shots.
