Product Description
With the iPad Camera Connection Kit, it's incredibly easy to download photos from your digital camera to your iPad so you can view them on the gorgeous iPad display and share them with family and friends. The kit includes two connectors, each with a different interface: The Camera Connector features a USB interface. Just plug it into the dock connector port on your iPad, then attach your digital camera or iPhone using a USB cable (not included). Use the SD Card Reader to import photos directly from your camera's SD card. Connect it to your iPad, then insert your digital camera's SD card into the slot. After you make the connection, your iPad automatically opens the Photos app, which lets you choose which pictures to import, then organizes the selected photos into albums. When you sync iPad to your PC or Mac, the photos on your iPad are added to your computer's photo library. iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW.

 Perfect May 25, 2010

This does just what you need it to do, and it does it well. A gizmo that allows me to almost instantly review my photos (jpeg and RAW!) and videos while in the field is just what the doctor ordered. The fact that I can then EMAIL them via the field (with 3G models) is miraculous! If I had to be picky, I might agree with reviews which are critical of the fact that you cannot enlarge and inspect the previews before deciding whether or not to import. But like I say, that is being pretty picky. The connection kit is killer.
I can finally use my USB devices July 22, 2010

I found out that the camera connection kit has more uses than just to attach my camera. I use my flash drive to swap files, my USB audio interface to record straight to the iPad, my USB keyboard to type, my sd card to backup files when I am traveling. Money well spent. I live in Jamaica so I can't get access to the apple store so I am subjected to these high prices(Fail). Other than that exellent product to make iPad an even more useful gadget.

This device is GREAT - works exactly as promised, is extremely intuitive (in Apple's usual fashion), and does a great job of effortlessly getting photos from your camera to your iPad. From there they can be saved, edited, forwarded, etc....
I particularly like the SD card reader device, in which you simply load your camera's SD card and the entire card-contents are displayed on your iPad. From there you can import all the photos on the card, or any subset you choose (e.g., the newest photos). Extremely fast, easy, effortless. Typical Apple.
Great way to view pictures on vacation, plus it lets you use USB keyboards August 6, 2010

If you are on vacation and want to view or share the pictures on your camera, the iPad Camera Connection Kit makes it very easy to import pictures from your camera, an SD card, or a thumb drive. You get two adapters that plug into the iPad's dock connector. One adapter provides an SD/SDHC card reader for the iPad. You can just take the memory card out of your phone or camera and the iPad can access and import the pictures. You can even delete the images from the camera after importing them into the iPad. It supports JPEG, TIFF, and many RAW formats.
The second adapter provides a USB port for the iPad. This was designed for cameras or phones with a USB cable so that you could access the pictures without taking out the memory card. This adapter has an undocumented benefit of also working with USB keyboards. If you connect a USB keyboard, the iPad will display a message about the device being unsupported, but the keyboard will work anyways.
You can also hook up a "thumb drive" to the USB port. The iPad will be looking for files in a root folder named DCIM and if you have other images or even videos (in formats supported by the iPad), they can be imported in as well. If your camera uses Compact Flash cards or other types of memory, you can plug a USB card reader into the connector and bring the images in that way. You can even connect an iPhone using the standard dock cable to the USB adapter to import pictures taken on the iPhone.
The biggest drawback is that all of the pictures go into a single gallery. It would have been nice if the iPad could let you create or specify another folder for the pictures.
Works perfectly as advertised! June 20, 2010

Reviews are for the products, not the companies selling the products. Yes, they are priced too high by the retailers here on Amazon, BUT the product works perfectly as advertised ...thus giving it 5 stars. Please ignore the people who have rated this item one star simply on the basis of the retailers' prices. That is not how you rate a product.
