After reading up on the Camera Connection Kit and many of the issues with the power reduction and compatibility, I decided to go for a cheap one off the auction site to see how it performed.
I'm actually quite impressed. First up, I got a 2in1 usb/sd version for £8.80 delivered instead of the official one at £25. This has worked flawlessly for me so far with SD & SDHC cards and also the same via a USB card reader. I also connected my iPhone to the iPad 2 to test and it worked perfectly.
I was also impressed that RAW files from my Nikon dSLR copied over fine and you could swipe through them just as quickly & smoothly as if they were small JPG files.
I can actually see me now using this on holidays to offload and edit pictures on the go - looking at FilterStorm & Photogene for the editing part. I do like how the images are organised in the Photo app although I would love to see more flexibility in managing these albums in the iPad photo app.

I used a cheap 2 in 1 cck on my recent holiday and it worked perfectly too.

Anyone got an eBay link? I've only ever come across the official ones.

In for the link as well.

Just search for "iPad 2 camera connection kit" and you will find loads. Below is just one example.

Refine your search to UK to exclude the Hong Kong ones.
