I am taking py ipad on holiday and plan to take pictures with my Digital camera and at the end of the day transfer the pictures from the memory card to the ipad via a card reader.
-
Will these photos go into the photo stream?
-
If I set up iCloud on my PC, which will be left at home will the pictures be synced to that automatically? In which case the 1000 picture limit wont be an issue?
-
Am I right in understanding that the pictures will lose some resolution when viewed on the ipad but will keep the resolution when viewed on my Windows PC?
-
Does all of the above only work when connected to WiFi?
Thanks

Yes, photos imported into an iPad do get shared through Photo Stream. This feature is mentioned in this Apple KB article.
The 1000 picture limit is a per hour limit. Apple says (in the same KB article) that…
In addition to the 1000 picture limit, there are further limits…
These limits can not be circumvented (as far as I know) by having your computer constantly sync to Photo Stream.
This Apple KB article explains Photo Stream resolutions:
According to the same Apple KB article as the previous, yes, Wi-Fi is required for Photo Stream to work (emphasis not mine).
