Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Cannot connect camera because it draws too much power.
Cannot read SD card because of the format Hero3 requires.
I can still use it as a usb midi interface, so it gets 2 stars.

I have the new GoPro Hero Black HD camera with a top of the line Ultra 64GB Micro SD XC and it says "Cannot read the connected storage media". I found an old old 1GB SD card in the bottom of a junk drawer, plugged it in and it works great! So from my experience it only works with old technology, not new technology. My little backup drive and my GoPro it says "The attached accessory uses too much power". So I can old use it if I have old equipment I suppose. I want a refund as its useless for me.

I purchased the camera connection kit for my iPad 2 and couldn't be more pleased. I took several test photos with my T3i, plugged the SD card into the adapter and into the iPad. It was immediately recognized, brought up the photos and gave options for importing or deleting. Once imported I could delete the photos from the card and it was ready to go back in the camera. This couldn't have been easier. It does exactly what I expected it to do.
I haven't tried the USB adapter yet but that wasn't crucial for my needs. If that works well it will just be an added plus.

This product is really good it lets me chose which photos i want on my ipad and I find the best way to do it is to take out the SD card and use that. The picture quality is awesome ever so clear and it only takes 2 seconds to complete one picture and the instructions are well organist and easily understandable but it is very straight forward anyway. I am very pleased with this camera connection kit and is well worth the money. !!

Only works with a very limited number of products, even has problems identifying apple products. Micro sd adapters for example will not be recognised by the sd plug, most USB devices will also be unable to connect including apple products. None of my USB devices works with the USB plug. Ipad 3rd generation crashes or freezes for long periods while using any of these two devices. I find this another example of apples demise and out of touch with the wide range of products consumers use these days.

This is an excellent device very easy to use
quick and easy way to import your pictures/movies from your camera to your iPad.
very self explanatory when you plug it in, like most apple product this was kept simple so you can't go wrong.

however I just upgraded my SD card to a 64GB SDXC (newer Larger storage SD cards)
before purchasing this card I was unsure if it would be compatible so had to do some research,
no where does it say it is or isn't - you would think it is obvious that it is not compatible
however my old CD card was a 32GB SDHC, (also no where does it say if it was compatiblee or not, but it is)
so eventually chatted with Apple online help centre, and they confirmed with me it was compatible ......
dun du dunhhhhh.... to my surprise IT IS NOT

very disappointed if apple support can not give you the correct answers who are you to TRUST ! ! !

I can't be sure about all the different Gen iPad but I have an iPad 2
so be warn if you have an SDXC (64GB / 128GB) card it will not work

to be safe use SDHC...

I highly recommend this product for those photo enthusiast
very happy with my purchase,

not so happy with Apple's support

My gopro cam uses micro sd card. I use 64gb micro sd card and sandisk adaptor. It does support. I cant transfer anything. Its wortless.

If I connect my Canon 350 to my iPad (3rd Gen, iOS 6.1) I got "device not supported".

If I connect my Olympus TG 620 (purchased today) I got "device uses too much power".

How comes? Am I doing anything wrong?

If I connect my iPhone 5, it works.

If I connect the SD card from my Olympus, it works. Cannot connect the Canon 350 card, as it uses Compact Flash.

Please Apple fix this thing!

When I load pictures from the SD card that has been in the camera it works, but when I upload other photos to the SD card from my computer to transfer them it doesn't work. The same camera, same tag, same SD card. I was under the impression this would make uploading photos easier than syncing to iTunes. Not! Oh.. and the only idiot is one who answers a question without understanding the question first.
