Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Bought a camera connection kit and discovered it will not work with the original iPad. I received a refund for the kit after the techs at the local Apple store could not make it work either.

I can't save anything on SD card, Not every digital camera works with this device. it's read only solution (when it works). I can't understand why is so difficult to install a SD card slot?!

Apple! Please listen to your customers and accommodate what they request. They are the people who pay you hard earned money.

To provide a SD option for the masses is fine but if you use a high end camera, you are most likely to have a CF (compact flash) card. My Nikon is such a camera. I was looking at purchasing an IPad to replace the Dell laptop that I carry around to download my pictures on. Well, the IPad is not an option. I have an IPhone and an IMac and am now stuck with a Dell Windows PC for now. When that goes my option will be anything but an IPad because the CF card is not supported. That is disturbing as I am an Apple convert and was really looking forward to dumping my PC for a more elegant solution.

I received my IPAD2 as a gift at Xmas... bought the camera kit, plugged in the SD card from my GOPRO... nothing. That's right nothing at all happens... tried a different SD Card... again, NOTHING... so now I'm off the the Apple Store to get the IPAD checked out? I would think that APPLE would have checked all of the IPAD functions before boxing this thing up for shipment. Isn't that called quality control? or is it out sourcing? BAD karma APPLE!!!!

Beware, this kit allows one way transfers only from the SD card to the iPad. For this it works just fine. However, I want to select certain photos from my iPad and transfer to the SD card that I use in my digital picture frame at work, but it WILL NOT DO IT! C'mon Apple, open up two way communication here!

Waste of money!!! I bought this with my Ipad 2 for a trip to Germany. I thought I would be able to transfer photos from my camera to my ipad but that Never happened. I even tried downloading from friend's cameras and it gave different errors. What a waste of time and money. Does this work for anyone?

What the, i plugged it in and NOTHING pops up!!! not USB or SD card reader. FAIL

No official instructions and it turned out to be just another Apple control rip-off, overpriced and does not work; what's worse you don't know it won't work until you've paid for it because neither the box nor any Apple publication on the web tell you of its limitations. I bought it hoping to effortlessly transfer files to and from my iPad, of course this is not possible except in very specific circumstances. I'd be happy with it if I could just upload photos from my memory stick or camera, but this is not possible unless I create specific subdirectories and use a very low powered USB stick. Too much faffing around. The UI is bad enough with the iPad, despite what Apple believe, but the camera connection kit is possibly the worst consumer experience I've ever had. Is it too much to ask that I can use my iPad on the move to show my photos to friends or shall we continue to have to squint at the 2" display on my camera?

Big disappointment. My photos are on flash drives. I was hoping to download them to my iPad. But I get the error message "not enough power"
