Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Purchased CCK for my holiday trip. Shot hundreds of photos each day and used Ipad for rewiev/backup. First problem:

- when you import the size of the thumbnail is waaay too small. Had to import everything from the SD card

Now, after a week of photoshooting got to organize stuff. So I created the 'BestOf' album and copied good stuff there. Now the second big problem emerged:

- There is no usable way to bunch-delete photos. It is really annoying having to select each pic separately. And no, I dont have a Mac/Pc/whatever with me - that is why I took Ipad!

And then:

- You cannot delete whole album either
- when you delete a picture which is in another album, there is no way of telling which album(s) was ment. If picture is deleted, it disappears everywhere. This makes the idea of an album kind of useless.

Summary: hardware works, software is useless.. The combination of Ipad+ CCK is not practical.

For my next big holiday I will take a bunch of SD card and organize my photos when I am back home. I will definately save a lot of time.

Just purchased for Nikon coolpix S8000. Hooked it up using USB cable. Immediately downloaded around 30 pictures. Am looking forward to trip to Italy in June without having to lug around laptop. $29 price seems about right.

I'm using a transcend 16Gb SDHC card. The iPad doesn't recognize that the card reader is plugged in.

i have just tried to use my connection kit with new ipad 3

it just doesnt work..can anyone suggest another way to get pics onto the ipad

I paid $45 for this piece of junk and it won't import videos. Thank you Apple for misrepresenting its capability.

I'm now in Europe and completely knackered because it is pointless now to shoot videos.

Neither my iPod, nor my iPad support the SD card reader or the USB reader. What gives Apple? Why would you sell something like this?

so i bought this connector kit for a trip to the tropics and it worked fine by transferring photos from my cannon s95 with the SD card reader just plugged into my ipad3 and the upload took about a minute for about 300 pics.. pics look awesome on the new ipad with the resolution and all. So now i want those same pics on to my wife's macbook air but wait a minute some how i cant transfer any pics from ipad to mac ????? there are all these wireless ways and methods to do this but come on this should be basic technology for anyone using a computer no matter what brand??? so now i tried the connector that uses a USB connector ok lets plug it into the ipad and upload those pics on to my 4gb USB...... OH my usb is to much power for my ipad ???????? the point of this adapter ??? to transfer the pictures that were on my camera back to my camera?? I read reviews that this use to actually work but apple put a stop to it.. shame on you apple

I bought this with reservation as the definition didn't clearly state how raw files were handled. CR2 (Canon RAW) images are imported extremely fast from my DSLR; And display immediately when complete. When editing in iPhoto, there is no need to convert to jpg; you edit the RAW file and then can email (at which time it is converted to jpg automagically).
I would recommend this to any pro photographer who wants to shoot, then display at weddings or at family photo shoots.
I love this product!!

I purchased the CCK to import photos. Needless to say after over 4 hours of researching why it won't work, I'm giving up and returning it. I've tried 4 different brands/sizes of SD cards to no success. They have all been formatted correctly. They all have the correct DCIM root folder with 8 figure names plus extension .jpg . The iPad 2 recognizes the reader. Put any of the cards in the slot... nothing. It doesn't just work. I've been a Mac fanatic since the 80s, but since the iOS reign, I must say that no, Mr. Jobs' ghost, it doesn't 'just work'.
