I am about to buy an iPad Mini retina for traveling for both planning itinerary and on the road when we deviate from the "plan". I am a long time Mac user and have had an iPhone for a year. What I ...

Thank-you for some clarifications.
It appears that I can down load jpgs directly from camera (SD card for jpgs, CF card for RAW capture). I wanted a wireless remote like I plan to buy for my dSLR for tripping the shutter.
It appears that the iPad mini doesn't include earbuds but I can use the one that came with the iPhone. I don't buy music from iTunes (too restrictive) but do get tunes from Amazon and eMusic. Can you stream audio also?
When you synch with your Mac to copy folders (with pdsf and jpgs) can you select which files you want to synch or copy? I want it to be selective like you can with a USB thumb drive. I understand that the iPad mini does not have a USB port. It would be great if it had an SD card slot like my MacBook Pro (2009 vintage). I did get iCloud so will need to figure out how that works. My images are not on iPhoto or iTunes catalogs but in separate named folders on 4 separate external hard drives. Will I have to catalog them on iTunes? I want to keep iTunes for apps and music as I view my images in Adobe Bridge (Photoshop CS5). I am confused (right brain at work).
I will probably take advantage of those apps I have on the iPhone5 that are also offered as optimized for the iPad mini retina and download those. What you said makes sense. When I got the apps for iPhone 5 it was noted that they were optimized for iPhone 5.
"In short, you should be able to do what you want to do and there are probably more ways than one to accomplish those tasks." Your comment sounds like Photoshop: a million different ways to do the same action.
We are with Verizon so will probably just pay the $10/month for 2gb of data or whatever they offer.
Thank-you for your help. I will figure it out eventually. I am ordering it tomorrow as I found a great price online with a trusted vendor that I have been buying form for years.
