iPad mini Lightning SD card reader or wireless reader?

Looking for an accessory to carry with my travels for reading RAW photos off my DSLR onto my iPad mini.

Does anyone have experience with option?

It seems option 1 is to buy the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader or buying a wireless reader like this one http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-Mult...65473&sr=1-1&keywords=wireless+sd+card+reader. (I'll be staying in hotels/places with wifi, not sure how spotty the wifi is. I also plan to use Dropbox if I were to get the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader)

I read another forum post saying that the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader compresses the photos to JPEG, is that true?

Thanks for the help!

I actually use the RAVPower File Hub http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L9TEIMW
and the Apple Lightning Card Reader. I like the File Hub because it gives you twice the size of a battery backup and you can also use it to create your own Wi-Fi Hotspot. This is a great feature while traveling especially in Europe where a lot of hotels still have wired internet. It is very easy to transfer files from my Camera Micro SDHC card to a backup USB thumb drive, and I also use it to stream movies during long flights.

I also use the Apple Camera Connection kit to transfer photos from the Camera SD card to my iPad. I do not believe it compresses files at all and have always had my full sized photos transfer over.

What app are you using to stream movies from the device? Something in the Appstore or is it JB software like XBMC?
