Tethering for fast/easy portraits on location - not usually. Though if you could easily/reliably tether to a iPad I would probably do so pretty often.Looks like a great portrait camera to me from what i have seen so far.
I don't really get the concept of tethering for portrait work though, are you sure you guys don't mean fashion work?
I have shoot portraits every day, in studio and on location and can think of nothing worse than tethering.
How did you guys get by with film?
Tethering for fast/easy portraits in studio - absolutely. I tried to give a very detailed description of some of the reasons.
I "got by" just fine with film, including portraits with 4x5 and 8x10 film and manual medium format cameras. I got by doing my own processing and printing. But if it was possible during those days to have a 30" Polaroid print magically appear a couple feet away 2-seconds after every shot I would have done it every time.
I could have "got by" shooting to card for the University of Miami Beauty Pagent Headshots example I went into depth on above but the time it took to complete the job would have been significantly higher - especially if I wanted to give each girl the option to pick her favorite image. I was done literally 10 minutes after the last girl walked out the door, which is just about when I would have STARTED importing/naming/sorting/editing/checking/adjusting/processing/uploading my images.
I guess my question is have you given it a try long enough to get comfortable with it and/or gone to a shoot/lecture/workshop where it was done by someone who has?
