Product Description
With the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit, it child'splay to load photos from a digital camera to the Apple iPad, and to view these directly on your iPad-Display and show it to all your family and friends.
The kit contains two interface connections. The camera connection offers a USB interface. Simply connect the Dock-connection to your Apple iPad and shoot with your digital camera or your iPhone via USB cable (not supplied). By the help of SD- card reader, you can directly import photos from the SD card of your camera. Simply shoot with your Apple iPad and put the SD-card of your camera for the provided plug-in slot. As soon as the connection is established, the Apple iPAd opens the Photos App automatically and you can now select which pictures need to be imported and those which need to remain in the albums. By Synchronising Apple iPad with the PC or Mac, the photos are added to the Apple iPad or photo-library of the computer. As the Apple iPad is also supported as a camera, the Camera Connection Kit supports all Standard photo formats e.g. JPEG and RAW.

I picked up one of these from the airport, prior to a safari in Kenya.
The box comes complete with 2 "dongles" that you plug into the Ipad - 1 that has connection for USB lead & the other which supports SD cards.
The USB dongle is probably the more useful of the 2 if you have a digital SLR, as it lets you connect up to your camera and copy the photos from the memory card directly onto the Ipad. It also creates a specific folder with the date of the import.
To have had the ability to view photos at the end of each day on an Ipad was marvellous - after dinner we would sit around and flick through the days snaps and delete any we didn't like there and then. Sure, you can do this with the camera display, but it is so much easier on an Ipad as you can see so much more of the detail! This meant when we got home, we had a perfect set of pictures to upload to our collection on the PC, without having to spend hours and hours checking over the photos (which, lets be honest about it, rarely gets done because when you get back from holiday you have a million other distractions that mean it gets left!!!)
I was very pleased with Apples own device, but please note, there are 3rd party connectors available on Amazon etc, which are a lot cheaper, so it may be worth looking at the reviews that other people have contributed, before you decide which to go for.

This is an important bit of kit for the iPad, because it lets you plug in a serious camera such as a Nikon D3, download the pictures, email them, upload them, or whatever else you want to do, and get on with shooting. For a professional photo shoot on location, it means you can check the images for focus and other flaws on a bigger screen without having to pack a laptop. Nikon used to sell a dedicated device for that, at several times the price of an iPad.
Since the advent of iOS 4.2 you can also use the USB connector for midi connection, with the appropriate app, and it can also (again, with the appropriate app) be used for getting sound in and out. Other uses are bound to follow, since Apple has obviously left some of the protocols open for this device.
All in all I'm very pleased to have this, though I would quite happily accept the USB port only, since I don't use SD cards. This appears to be priced at the bottom of Apple's range, though, and they may have decided that users wouldn't want it if it were just the USB.
When you see how small it is, you may baulk at the price. When you begin to use it and discover how useful it is, that price begins to seem irrelevant.
Recommended to all serious photographers who use an iPad.

Very good item. You can upload your photos all in one go (and skip duplicates), and have the choice to keep them or delete them from the camera afterwards. The photos can then be sorted by date or upload, and be accessed directly on the iPad as a mass storage device to be copied or deleted (this is the only files you'll be able to access directly from your iPad in Windows XP without going through iTunes).
So all in all very useful piece of kit.
PS: I've got the iOS4.3 upgrade and this works no problem with my Canon camera...

Great ipad solution for loading pictures
I used to load my pictures from my camera to a PC and then use an app to transfer them to the ipad. What joy to discover a kit that allows direct connectivity.

Bought this for GoPro Hero3 Black to ipad 2
One half of this is pointless for what I need as when I plug the Camera -> USB -> iPad2 all I get is a "this device draws too much power" error message. Read more
