Great improvement over Apple Camera Connection kit. . .
First some background. We own two iPad's, oldest since July of 2009. We were fortunate enough to receive the Apple Camera Connection kit on Christmas Day, and had great fun importing photo's that we'd just taken of our family festivities. Never really saw the utility as a necessary accessory before then.
This kit improves over the Apple kit in one important way. It's ONE device as opposed to TWO to carry around! You see the Apple Kit has a separate dongle for USB, and another for SD Cards. This merges them all into one kit.
The benefits of this are more compatibility with a broader array of input devices (including some USB keyboards, etc. that you will read about with the Apple Device). . . and 1/2 the chance of losing this important accessory.
Now, we have grown to use this kit during photoshoots, and it allows us to view comp's within seconds on the iPad screen, rather than removing the memory stick, uploading to the desktop computer, viewing, etc. etc.
Improves a photographer's workflow 1000%, and improves over the Apple kit by at least 100%.
Keep in mind our testing of the kit with the Micro-SD slot was limited, however the SD Card and USB slots work like a charm.
