Reviews for Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

Rubbish. I bought the camera exchange device for my ipad so I can load pictures onto my ipad but now can put them back on to a memory card or USB stick. Not very good for some one who is traveling. I never bought anything from apple until I bought this ipad. Big let down. Last time I buy an apple product

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)

I have a Canon Rebel camera that is 2 years old. The SD card does not even fit in the SD card reader - the opening on the SD card connection device is too small. Is it possible I received a defective camera connection kit? It seems strange that the SD card for one of the most common DSLR cameras out there can't even fit into the SD card reader.

Dosen't work what's the deal

Just get the connection kit , it is recognized by the the IPad2 OS5.1.1 and I can see it in config menu but nothing happened when SD card or camera ( Canon with DCIM format) is plugged in .
The picture wiewer apps which is supposed to pop up automatically don't open , and there is no way to import my pictures. I tried also to connect from my iPhone 4 as it's supposed to get my iPhone picture file , it doesn't work.
Shall I return this Kit , I was reading on forums this problem is very frequent

PLEASE HELP

. Can't download from my video cam, sd memory card (or any memory card for that matter), or my camera. These are a waste of money which wouldn't even allow me to transfer one single picture. NOT HAPPY and seriously never gonna buy any more apple stuff.

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'.

Doesn't work with my Fuji W3 or the SD Card.

Failed at first hurdle! Plugged the USB cable from my Leica D-Lux4 into my new iPad3 tWhich was faulty as well and ive just had it replaced at the Apple Shop!) my camera says chose Pictbridge or PC, it recognises the PC option and then informes me there are no photos to import...yet if I unplug everything, plug in the SD card reader plug and then insert the 2GB SD card from the same camera it immediately recognises it and lists all the pics on it! Odd! I had high hope for this kit, I'm hoping it doesn't let me down when I try it for the other main reason I bought the kit for, to connect it to a MIDI keyboard, don't feel confident, will update review again when I've had a go. May try it on my old iPad2, just for fun....I'm not holding my breath...my former confidence in Apple products is now shaky!!! Should have read these reviews first, far too many one star reviews!

Bought the iPad3 specifically for loading my vacation photos through the SD card adapter so I wouldn't have to bring my laptop along. It only worked the first time I put a card in. I tried 6 different SD cards to see if the cards may have been the problem. Still nothing. It just doesn't get recognized. Now I have to make a trip to the Apple store, bringing my cards and computer with me, to see if they can figure out whats going on. What a pain!!! Seems others are having no issues. Wish that were me!
