Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

camera connector does not work with olympus xz1. sd card adapter does not work either. incredibly shoddy product, cheaply made, overpriced, and worst of all 100 per cent non functional.

Works great except you can only transfer from card to ipad - not iPad to card!

After reading some of the reviews I was a little leary of placing my order, but the camera conncection kit is exactly what I was looking for to round out my iPad use. Decided to go for it and if it didn't work, send it back. Just got the camera connection kit and tried the camera memory card, then the camera cable. Both worked like magic. I know I'll get a lot of use from this little kit. Thank you Apple!!

The adapter is decent for attaching a camera to an iPad. Should also make one to connect to the iPhone.

Huge software improvement would be to add an interface so that the camera can be controlled directly from the iPad or iPhone, especially adding a live view function (see what the camera sees on your device). It would turn iPhones and iPads into great tools for video shooting, since their resolution is so much better than a camera's LCD screen. Right now companies sell (Zacuto, SmallHD, etc.) LCD screens to attach to dSLR cameras for video shooting, charging $500-1000. Why not let us use the super hi resolution screens that we always carry around with us instead (i.e. iPhones and iPads)

Dosen't work what's the deal

Overpriced and underperforming. Direct camera connection won't work with any of my cameras. Apparently it draws too much power. Obviously I should have heeded the reviews and not bought this product as majority of purchasers experiencing similar problems. More obviously the folks at Apple should read the reviews and correct the problem. I didn't return it, just threw it out. Will not buy anything from Apple in the future

This little device is great to travel with. We use it all the time with our iPads. I really don't understand why Apple doesn't make it iPhone compatible. I have wished many times that I could import directly to my iPhone when I don't have my iPad.

Attached the USB adapter to my iPad, attached camera USB, turned camera on and voila photos transferred! No fuss at all. Transfereed 109 HD pictures in under two minutes. Couldn't ask for a better result.

This is a great product, wonderful to access and store/backup the photos off of my camera which I can than send out or post while traveling.

I never write reviews for things, so at least I now know how cross I need to be before I do so! I selected the more expensive Apple-branded product over the much cheaper versions, as I stupidly assumed it would be more likely to work.

I've just wasted the past few hours of my busy life trying to get the SD attachment or the USB connector to work with anything. It doesn't. I've tried files and photos, different SD cards, the camera lead versus a USB stick, etc. etc. I wish I'd read one of these reviews before bothering, as by a strange coincidence I too am running the new OS.

Very disappointed with you, Apple - I won't be buying any more of your expensive accessories. Would have picked 0 stars if that had been possible.
