Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

I myself was able to put my pictures on my IPAD 2 in a matter of seconds without even reading the instructions. .Yes and I am not a tech just a MOM

This accessory really completes the iPad. If only it was built in.

The card reader picked up the data off of a 2GB SD card from a Nikon Cool Pix P&S and I'm sure it will work for my DSLR as well.

The USB port works with a lot of peripherals as stated in other reviews but I have wondered for four weeks if it would work with the one sitting in my desk as it slowly made it's way from Shenzen. Sure enough, when you plug a bar code wand into the USB port it says that it's not a supported device but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. It picked up the two bar codes on the kits packaging quickly and easily. Pretty slick. Now to find the application for it.

Very satisfied.

It's totally worth it. Would have been nice if it was built in. But you can't have everything in the first round on this planet.

It worked great first, very useful kit but since the last update it does not work anymore. It says it is not supported.

FIX THIS ASAP

I have a Canon EOS 20D and the interface will not allow me to download my pictures to my IPad. I wish Apple had disclosed the limitations of this device.

The connection kit comes in two parts, which makes it easy to lose, or at least harder to keep track of. The USB kit works only with a limited number of cameras, and easily gives up saying the connected camera is drawing too much power (one wonders what the camera battery is for). The SD reader doesn't read micro-SD. In short, this equipment is not very usefull.

We bought two iPad 2 at the same time. This device works perfectly in one but it does not work at all in the other iPad 2. We tried everything possible. It should work in both of them. I hope Apple fixes this problem.

I see lots of posts that say this worked great, but I tried to import photos to my iPad2 from an SD card and nothing happened. The instructions say just to plug in the adapter and insert the SD card and there you go, photos. For me....nothing.

First off these do exactly what they say it will and a "little" more so I'm not going to say exactly what every other review has said. I'll say what the others aren't saying and see if it gets through the screener's:

This is another example of a capable piece of hardware unnecessarily limited by software. There is allot of opportunity for this add-on device that SHOULD give the missing capabilities that were not natively built into the iPad. Unfortunately it only does about 1/2 of what's needed..

I use my iPad mostly for work (and games). The only thing stopping me from switching ALL of my work email, correspondence, etc over to this is its inability to attach a file not created or downloaded from within the iPad. I'm not going to watch movies, listen to music or read books on it. Because of its awesome, simple, portable nature I AM going to use it for all the apps, web surfing, emailing, scheduling, flight planning, mapping, etc.... that it is SO good at! My biggest limitation is the inability to "easily" transfer files from my big 3D desktop workstation to this to email. If I currently need to send a file I have to bring up a clunky web browser based mail client and go that route. It's a pain. I so wanted to be able to copy a ZIP file to a flash drive, plug it in to this USB adapter, copy it to the iPad and attach it to an email to send. Doesn't work. Why? I have no idea. I don't see how adding this simple software feature would hinder itunes sales? It doesn't seem any different than adding a feature just like the current "Photos" or "Videos" accept it would say "Files".

OK, enough ranting. I hope in the near future they add this simple and much needed feature. I'm not holding my breath but I also never thought I would be carrying around 2 Apple mobile devices everywhere I go... and I do.

Ipad 3 is useless, I use a gopro 3 for video and the ipad 3 cannot read a 64gb micro SDXC disk from Sandisk. Apple get your so called great company together and provide an update.
