No, in my case definitely not. While I'll chimp a little, I also carry little and shoot raw. Reviewing in the field would not only be a distraction, but often I'm previsualising what I'll be doing later in Aperture or the Gimp, and then moving on.
Which isn't to say I wouldn't use the device to display my photos later to others in portable form, but that would be after they're culled, organised, Apertured and occasionally Gimped, and then their "rating" and tagging is automatically syncing selected photos (assuming the same way the iPhone does it) via iTunes.
I wouldn't miss it, and I wouldn't buy the card dongle either (even assuming it could display raw photos). It's just not how I work, nor want to (like the iPad, I'm not an adept multitasker
, and so I tend to need simplicity, focus, and a lack of distractions that aren't photogenic
).
As previously, of course...my requirements. Others photographers may find that item you specify a significant lacking. I'm just not one of them.
Cheers,
