After all Camera Connection Kit can be a good purchase for those who travel a lot and take minimum things with them every time trying to leave more free space in their bags. The first obvious advantage of iPad+CCK suit is that you do not need to take with you ponderous notebook which is often used as a temporary storage for raw material. The “tablet” will play its part. It will also help to solve some simple work tasks that require receiving emails and writing replies, internet-surfing, some documents editing and so on. Secondly the process of file copying and transferring takes little time. It took me about two minutes to export 1 GB consisting of one 700 MB video and about 100 photos. In other words you can clean your card fast and simple, even when it is vital to shoot photos continuously. And thirdly, both adapters can fit into any, even very small pocket.
I almost forgot that iPad + CCK pack is not a solution for professional photographers who any way prefers to fill up their bags with working tools. That is to say not for those who patiently use 18’’ screen notebooks, not for happy owners of image banks, that keep all the material accumulated during work process and drained by their owners at the end of the process. In the end such a suit is not for those who love to delve in crude RAW files. iPad together with CCK is more likely a solution for amateur photographers like me. For those people who get up early during vacation in order to take packed lunch, get in the bus, and only on the road to another site seeing tour they realise that two- or four- GB card in their loyal Lumix is full of very important material.
The price in US Apple store starts and ends at $29 plus traditional tax. Russian underground channels sell such a simple kit for the sum that is at best equal to 5000 rubles what makes about $170. The conclusion is forced upon you: the kit is worth having but you should buy it abroad.
