Reviews for Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader

I love this connector. It works perfectly, although I use SD cards only in the 8-32 GB range so I don't have problems with larger cards. I find it especially useful when traveling since I can back-up my photos occasionally, while sampling the local wine or espresso, and then send them up to the cloud each evening.

I would recommend this accessory for ease of photo transfers from camera to iPad. Very compact and works with several models and makes of cameras.

For the manager at Fairview Mall's Apple store, please advise your staff that yes video can be imported from SD cards to the ipad. I was told that it couldn't by a staffer there!

i got this to move pix and flix from my camera to the mini iPad. the transfer was fast and accurate. it works GREAT!!!!!!!!

Worked perfectly

Bought one last week and it worked ,flawlessly,downloaded all my pics from my tours in europe .very happy with this and all apple products.soory pc emancipation from you is keyword..

Bought this to transfer pictures from my point and shoot camera to my iPad 4. Having this ability is great because I can leave my expensive lap top at home and just bring my much more portable iPad on trips. It works perfectly.

As an added bonus, i found that it also transfers video from my GoPro Hero 3 action camera too! The GoPro uses a micro SD card so i used a micro SD to SD adapter and it worked perfect. I bought iMovie and now I can also edit the videos as well. This card reader really makes the iPad that much more usefull.

Please see review dated Nov. 6, 2012 answered by Josh S. on Nov. 15, 2012. His instructions work. If you are not using an SD card that was used to take pics with your camera, you have to create a DCIM folder and a sub folder inside of it named 100DICAM on the SD card. Then place your pics in the sub folder and they must be an 8 character format such as DSC_1234. I used a number scheme to name each pic such as 100_1111, 100_1112, etc. See the review dated Nov. 6, 2012. I have an IPad4 with Retina display and purchased the Lightning SD Card Camera Reader today. I just finished making the folder, sub folder, and renaming my pics. I then was able to import the pics to my IPad 4 using the SD Card Camera Reader. Works Great!

I have tired it with 5 different SD cards. Works with all of them. Does what it states nothing more nothing less. If you are looking to add more storage to your iPad your'e looking at the wrong solution. It was made to go along with a digital camera. Not replace a laptop to someone of you reviewers.
This is what it is for. I am on a trip in say Cuba. I just took some amazing pictures with my digital DSR. Now I want to share some of those pictures on Facebook. This device will allow you to upload pictures to your iPad and view them. Then with your iPad connected to the internet via wifi or 3G you can share the pictures whatever way you want. It goes great with a digital camera. You can edit/photoshop the pictures on your iPad and make room on your SD card for more pictures.

If your SD card isn't working then check the lock toggle on the side of the SD card. It is sometimes hit while pushing the SD card into the slot.

If I had one problem with the reader it would be that there is no cover over the SD slot. While not a big problem it would be nice to protect from dust and sand.
