    Does exactly what the name suggests.

    • Written by from LOWESTOFT

    Although some people complain that you can't transfer other things like music or games over this peripheral, that's the nature of Apple. What you can do though is exactly what the name suggests and what the thing was made for.

    Whilst out and about I can easily take pictures using my SLR and then put my SD card into the Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader and pop that into the lightening port. This then allows me to transfer my pictures straight to the iPad and into it's camera roll without needing a computer.

    Although it may be a bit pricey, the iPhone 5 doesn't support it and it's only limited to transferring pictures, it does exactly what I need and is very simple to use whilst also being compact.

    Does not work with the Nikon D600

    • Written by from London

    Cannot read photos shot with my DSLR. Doesn't seem to handle common raw + fine jpeg file formats and displays error warnings every time the adapter is connected to my iPad mini.

    Works for me - NEX-F3

    • Written by from London

    I have a Sony NEX-F3 and it works fine with my iPad mini. I place the SD card in the reader, attach to the iPad and the Camera Roll pops up asking to import the photos. You can then import them into the camera roll which can then be accessed in iPhoto or synced to a computer.

    It would be nice if you could browse the photos on the card in fullscreen prior to importing, but just like in iPhoto on the Mac you can't, for some strange reason.

    Will be handy on holidays when I don't have my Mac so I can save some storage on the SD card by importing to the iPad.

    Easy to use

    Read negative reviews and was doubtful of this SD card reader,
    however this works perfectly! Does what it says, easy to use.

    Doesn't work for me.

    • Written by from Nether dallachy

    I have the ipad with the plug in sd reader device, my wife has the ipad mini with lightning sd card reader. I have made a file of wedding photos, taken by various people at my son's recent wedding, and transferred them onto a sd card but neither tablet recognises the card. Any reason why this is happening? This is the reason we bought the readers. All photos are jpeg, no videos. The publicity material suggest plug and play - not for me it isn't!

    Lightening SD Adapter

    • Written by from Lincoln

    Still trying to upload or view a few photo via the SD adapter, I think it was a waste of £25, Apple is either love or hate and I know where I stand after 2 months
