With the sudden influx of hot new gadgets and portable multimedia devices comes different and new proprietary connection interface. It’s hard to fathom why device manufacturers don’t just go with something universal and stick with it. Luckily, for the convenience of the new iPad (for the non-Apple initiated, it’s a no typo) owners, uploading all those pictures from your digicam to the iPad is made a whole lot easier with the new iPad Camera Connection Kit. For the low price of $29.00, this handy kit easily provides two easier ways to import images and videos from your digital camera via the camera’s USB cable interface or directly from an SD card to view them later in gorgeous resolution.
The Camera Connection Kit readily supports standard image formats and that included the popular JPEG and RAW. The first connector features a USB interface that you can just plug into the dock connector of the iPad. You can then connect the camera and the iPad thru a USB cable. The second connector is basically a small SD card reader. With this, your iPad can read and access your digicam’s SD card directly. After connection, iPad automatically uses the Photos app to import the images and videos then organize them into albums. When you sync iPad to a PC or Mac, the imported files can be even automatically uploaded to the computer’s specific multimedia library.
