iPod Camera Connector Review at Playlist

Apple iPod Camera ConnectorCharging $30 for something that should have been in the original design seems more than a little unreasonable to me, but if you own an iPOD Photo then you’ll naturally be interested in finding out if the new iPod Camera Connector actually works. Playlist have a review for you…

“A question on the minds of many of those with more expensive digital cameras is whether the iPod Camera Connector supports RAW images. The answer is “not exactly.” Although the device will download RAW images to the iPod, those images can’t be displayed on the iPod. In the thumbnail display you’ll see RAW images represented by the word RAW surrounded by a gray circle. When you select one of these images and press the Select button, you see this message: “This photo format cannot be viewed on iPod. Transfer imported photos to your computer and synchronize through iTunes to display them on iPod.” For professional photographers, this limitation may queer the deal.”

4 out of 5 stars for a device that can only transfer a 256MB card in 12 MINUTES?

That's really sad. That's a fan-boy "review" not an actual review.
