I have a Nikon D800 a sales person told me that iI can not download These nikon raw files to an iPad but with the camera/card reader it will automatically convert these files to jpeg and upload those. Is this true? has anyone done this?
iPad 2
Wow. Why would you ever want to put the NEF files on an iPad? I do all my manipulation on my Mac (with LR4 and PS-CS6) and I use the iPad only for display of the end product.
I don't really want to put the NEF's on the iPad I just want to convert at download to jpegs to be able to display the images at the event. I have since read additional horror story saying that the iPad wont recognize any D800 files since nikon has switched to MTP (a newer version of PTP) and that I couldn't even download if I were to shoot NEF + Jpeg. And I thought Apple was on the cutting edge???
In my case, I have a memory card much larger than I need so I always shoot "JPG+NEF" and I'm always covered. Your reference to Apple and "cutting edge" is unwarranted. There isn't anything that Apple can do without receiving documentation from Nikon. I had one of my Nikons (D5100) for several months before Apple or Adobe could handle their RAW files. My only option was an Adobe utility to convert to DNG.
I download my RAW files with the Camera Connection Kit and use this app to get the best possible Jpeg.

Ok maybe the cutting edge remake is kind of a low blow, but iPad doesn't support anything larger than SDHC (32GB) wich is only 401 shoots NEF WITHOUT jpegs. When I'm out on a boat for six hours shooting a major regatta I'll have three times that many images, or more. Ski racing will yield about 600-800 shots. My G5 is now a boat anchor, whille I've rebuit my PC 3 times to keep up. What are my options?
With what camera and to which platform?

Larger storage card and/or multiple storage cards. No need to copy to the iPad while still on the boat. Another option is an MBP instead of the iPad (recognizing that the iPad, like everything in this world, does have its limits).
