Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

I'm becomnig increasingly more frustrated with Apple as they don't consider their customers' needs. I've been using the camera kit for 2 years to backup my Canon EOS 7d RAW files. After the software upgrade the iPad will not copy the files from the camera. It displays the thumbnails but when I select Import All it appears to load but a red warning icon is displayed on each image, with no way to read the warning, yet the file does not download. Very annoying.

Unfortunately the connector only works with my iPhone. All my cameras get the same message: 'require too much power'
Makes the kit far too expensive for what it actually does . . . . Too bad! Thought we had a good device !

The 64GB Sandisk works in my Sony DSC-RX100 camera. It also works downloading to my computer. My computer can down load photos to my ipad using itunes and/or sincios (download for free). However it does not work direct from the camera to the ipad, using the camera connection kit CCK. Neither does it work using the CCK SD memory card connector.Bought a 8GB other brand SD memory card. Problem fixed, both direct SD connection and the camara connection now works.

I pretty much got my iPad for the ability to import images and video from my cameras using the camera connection kit whilst on the go. Since updating the software (thanks Apple), it now no longer works despite trying all the so called fixes available, and pretty much a blanket silence from Apple themselves on the matter, even though lots of people are reporting the issue.

Come on Apple sort this out please. I've been a devoted Apple consumer since the mid 90's, but you are about to lose my custom.

Tried on my iPad 2 (iOS6.1) with both the USB and SD card adapters. Not all USB sticks work, my 4GB USB initiative one does.

Plug your SD/USB into the PC.
Zip the files you need together and rename the zip file something like ZIP_1234.pdf
If its a single file, just rename it.

Make a DCIM folder on your SD/USB and paste the zipped.pdf file there.

Plug the CCK/SD/USB into your iPad and wait for the Photo app to start. Then import your PDF.

Now to get the PDF out of the Photo import folder, you can use the

Dropbox app, but you need wifi and to actually upload it to Dropbox first!

However, free App Store app iTransfer by ComcSoft works.
Select the ZIP_1234.pdf from the Photo Album/import folder.
Click on it then use Open In to get it to the file manager of your choice.
I use Files Pro. Once there, rename it to ZIP_1234.zip and then extract your files.
If it was a single non-zipped file, rename it back to what it was originally.

i plugged my go pro in and it said sorry this device uses to much power

The card reader component doesn't work with my Sandisk 64GB card, unlike the built in card reader on a Mac Air book. The USB component does work directly to my Nikon DSLR D3100 using the same card, but is deadly slow and when I shoot in both jpeg and RAW it will only import the jpegs. This is better than nothing, but only just. Not for serious camera users, probably ok for uploading point and shoot cameras.

Just bought this from Apple Store in Regent Street, London. It did not work with a Micro SD Adaptor with 2GB of Micro SD Memory inside it, but this could of been the adaptor itself as it was quite old.

I tried my Canon PowerShot A1200 digital camera's 2GB Memory Card in the Memory Kit and it worked straight away, as did my camera when I plugged it directly into the USB Kit. So overall I am satisfied, hence the 5 Star rating.

My Canon EOs30D would not download images to my iPad, very frustrating, full refund obtained from store of purchase

I have a Nikon D600 and a Nikon V1.. I shoot RAW with a wide selection of cards. Lexar Pro, Sandisk, Panasonic with varied sizes and speeds. I have an iPad 2 and iPad mini which I plan to use to save my images on while travelling and then upload to my iMac when I get home.

After reading all the bad reviews I was having seconds thoughts about this product. As a long term Apple junkie I had to give it a try. Well, I used every card I have in each camera with both the card reader and USB connector and it worked just as smooth as silk and all images loaded on to the iPad 2 without any problems.

My next concern was would the RAW images transfer from the iPad to the IMac intact or would they convert to jpeg. The RAW transferred over without issue and I am happily editing.

I liked this product so much that I bought the connector for the IPad mini the next day.

Apple has never let me down on any product and I have them all. My only negative comment about Apple is .... What's going on with your stock price? We miss you Steve.
