BIG Canon News: Canon EOS Digital Rebel T2i
At $899 with an 18-55mm kits lens, this puts DSLR filmmaking into the hands of almost anybody.
Do you know what type of cards the iPad takes? Yep, that's right. SD cards!
Let's hope that this all works together and will be a happy marriage.

The iPad don't take anything out of the box. You have to by a camera adapter which comes with a SD Reader and a USB Host into which you can plug any camera. So the only benefit is that you don't have to use your camera as a cardreader.
Soph,
Yep. I know you need an adapter.
The question will be if Apple releases iMovie for the iPad, will we be able to edit on the road without a laptop.
The intermediate codec is the big ?
We'll see when it's all out. It would make doing gearbox from the toad a lot easier.

Edit on the iPad? Dude - you can't be serious (doing my best John McEnroe impression)!
The only way in which the iPad could possibly be useful would be as a production tool for previewing, logging, shedules as per your previous post but as an edit device? It simply wont have the power to do it!
Mark,
I'm VERY serious.
The iPad is more powerful than many systems of past that have been very capable of editing. Also, check out ReelDirector for the iPhone/Touch.
Apple could definitely release a version on iMovie and if it had a good intermediate codec (think Apple's iFrame codec), and we could feasibly do simple editorial (think gearbox), on an iPad.
This would not be a solution for anything but simple projects that may have a logo bug, but it is very, very possible and I hope it happens so I can do gearbox from the road without lugging my 17" MBP.
