Hello everyone!

Thanks for your patience and following me here on my backup blog. I set this blog up when my main blog at terrywhite.com/techblog was having performance and virus/malware attack issues. The issues continued so I maintained both sites. Network Solutions continued to get attacked seemingly every weekend. So I couldn't take it any more and moved my blogs off their servers to a NEW hosting provider. Things have been going smoothly there and therefore I see no need to continue to post the same thing in both spots. I will still maintain this address and blog setup as a backup just in case there is ever an issue again you'll have a place to immediately go to to see what's going on. Also moving to the new host seemed to fix the various RSS feed problems people were having. So from here on out NEW content will be posted at http://terrywhite.com

Thanks!

iPad Camera Connection Kit Review

Monday, April 26th, 2010

As a photographer one of the iPad accessories I was most anticipating was the iPad Camera Connection Kit. This kit consists of TWO adapters that connect right to the iPad's Dock connector. The first one is a standard SD (SDHC) Memory Card reader. You connect it to your iPad and then insert a memory card with images/videos on it and transfer those images to your iPad. No software to install because the iPad already has this ability built-in to the Photos App. The second adapter has a standard USB port on the oppositie end of the Dock connector. With this one you can not only connect your camera via USB and transfer images directly, but as my video above shows you can even use a Card Reader with it! This overcomes (although not as elegantly) the problem of wanting to use Compact Flash or other card formats.
