Customer Reviews

nice option to a pocket full of memory
I bought this for my iPod Photo just before a trip to Italy in September 2006. We were gone for three weeks and took photos everyday (100-200 each day). Each night we downloaded the photos onto the iPod without problems. Yes, it took a bit of time but it was done while we were in the shower and dressing. Later in the evening we enjoyed the photos played back on the TV (if we had one available). We are now preparing for another trip to Italy (wine buying in Tuscany and Piedmont) for three weeks and looking forward to the same experience with the iPod Photo and the photo connector. Oh, yes, bring two iPods. One for the music in the car while experiencing Tuscany, Piedmont and Italian Riviera and the other to hold those precious photos. CIAO!

Possible power issue fix!!!
I have been racking my brain trying to solve the power issue of trying to transfer large amounts of pictures to the iPod without it dying. Here is an idea that I haven't seen anyone mention yet, that involves not buying this camera connector at all: Apple sells a Y cable (or "splitter" cable) that has a male usb connector on one half, and a male firewire on the other. The intention of this cable is to allow charging of the iPod (by connecting the firewire half to a wall AC Adapter) and transfering to a computer (by connecting the USB half to a computer) at the same time.

If you can charge and transfer at the same time in this situation, couldn't you also, in theory, connect a female to female usb gender changer to the male USB half of the Y cable, and then plug in your camera or a USB card reader to the resulting female USB plug, allowing full AC powered transfer?

Not nano compatible
#1 it is slower than a USB 1.1 synch.
#2 it eats battery fast.
#3 not for a pro photographer or digital point and shoot cameras over 7 megapixel.
#4 does not synch to nano 1st or 2nd generation.
