Compatible Card Readers for Camera Connector?

Has anyone found a media card reader that is compatible with the iPod Camera Connector? There are none listed on the Apple's official list of devices compatible with the connector.
As I travel and take photos at various sci fi and comic book conventions, I'd really like to get the camera connector to help with storage issues. An iPod is so much easier to carry than a laptop.

I tested out my Canon Digital Rebel (the original, not the XT or XTi) and it will also download to the iPod using the iPod Camera Connector. The only problem is it kills the iPod's battery almost completely to download a 1GB Compact Flash card.
I found that my Lexar USB 2.0 Multi-Card Reader does NOT work with the camera connector. I have to go find one that does.

Compatible digital cameras for camera connector

Hi there!
THis is my first pot here so I hope you will accept me fine.
And a Merry Christmas aswell!
Well I have decided to buy me a mp3 player, but as I always carry my digital camera with me I wanted to have one with the capability to hold pictures so I chose ipod.
But when I looked for compatible cameras I havent found my camera amongst those. I own a Konica Minolta DiMage A200.
I will not buy it if it doesent supporty my camera, but at that page it says that there is still a chance it will support it, so I turned to you, the users!
Does anyone own the same camera and ipod with camera connector? Do you have a friend that does?
Help me out please!

anyone?

Can anyone recommend a USB CF card reader that will work in my Macbook Pro Retina? My USB card readers for CF cards do not work

At present, the only way I can load photos from a CF card to my new Macbook Pro Retina is by loading them onto an external hard drive via an old PC that can accept either of my USB card readers, then plugging the external hard drive into my MBP. Neither the USB card reader or the cable that comes with the Canon HDSLR camera will transfer photos directly to my MBP. I find it unbelievable that I have to go to a PC to load photos because I can't do it with my new MBP.
Has anyone found a reliable USB CF card reader, or one that connects via thunderbolt or HDMI, at any price, that will work directly with the new MBP Retina?

This is what we need:
Location photoshoot - we use the Canon EOS 5D Mk II still camera & the Canon FX100 pro camcorder.
CF cards are: SanDisk Extreme UDMA & SanDisk Extreme Pro UDMA 6 for video (I think they are both Type II) My Mac recognises them both as FAT 32 format
My MBPRetina is on the latest version of Mountain Lion OSX 10.83
the files from the camcorder will transfer to my MacBook Pro Retina directly via the camera's cable but it is quite slow & it means I cannot continue to film while downloading files but this we can live with.
the files from the still camera Canon EOS 5D Mk II will not transfer directly via the camera's cable - have yet to get the Canon software to download, but via the camera's cable will not help anyway as we need to have the still camera free to keep shooting.
We need to be able to take out the CF card from the first part of the shoot & download the still shots while just on the Macbook's battery power, while we insert a fresh CF card back into the still camera to continue with the next part of the shoot simultaneously (while the first card is downloading.)
The files from the first part of the shoot will be both in RAW (.CR2) & Jpeg format. We just need to quickly transfer the jpegs, then I do a quick sort, batch the best ones as black/white images, & use these in a client slideshow immediately after part 2 of the shoot.
Obviously we need fast data transfer speeds, & rely on the MBP's battery power while on a location shoot.
The card readers I have tried are an older specific CF card reader branded as Palm, & a USB 2 multi card reader branded as Travel Flash. With both readers, the lights on the readers flash on & off, & the MBP recognises the card & the files will even appear both in Finder & in i-Photo, so it starts importing, then aborts with an error message saying:
'The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)'
& another message saying:
'the disk was not ejected properly'.
So it appears the MBP does read the CF cards but the card readers don't stay connected, no matter what angle I put them on or however many times I re-connect them.
Yes, they are probably cheap & I want to buy a decent one.
So, in summary:
the card reader needs to work when the MBPR is only on battery power (I read in some forums that some USB card readers aren't so reliable on the laptop's battery power)
the card reader needs to be quite fast. I have read the USB 3 readers won't read CF cards at higher than USB 2 speeds. Is this true? Are the firewire connected ones faster, & if so, are they still reliable on the MBP's battery power?
From research, it appears my problem is associated with my specific model of Mac & platform, being MacBook Retina on Mountain Lion OSX Version 10.83. If any of the recommended card readers have been successful with this, plese let me know.
Thanks heaps for the suggestions so far.

PCMCIA media card readers - suck 100% of CPU for copy?

Hello!
I've bought two media readers - for camera memory cards - for my Powerbook. They are PCMCIA cards, one is a Sandisk card, for SDs, MMC, and Memory Sticks, among others. The other is a no-name brand for CF cards.
While the Powerbook (10.4.11, 2 GB ram, 1.67 Ghz) will recognize the readers - and the cards I insert - should I attempt to copy anything to or from the card, the entire computer gets thrashed. The CPU usage (Finder, Kernel_task, etc) go to 100%, and iStat Pro has shown CPU load numbers between 15 and 25! What the heck?
At the same time, if I insert either PCMCIA readers (with cards) into my old PowerBook 5300CS (OS 8.5, 48 MB Ram, 100 Mhz), the CPU is not fully used. Ditto for my 2.2 Ghz Macbook Pro and a Belkin Expresscard SDHC reader - in fact, it copies at the card's full speed and uses only a couple of % of CPU. It's running Leopard now, but it didn't have any trouble in Tiger either. That's why I think it's a Powerbook error.
It will happen with either reader, any brand/type of card, and has been occurring for quite a while - since sometime in early 2007. I don't remember it always acting this badly, so it may have been related to an OS update.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem could be, and any fixes?
Thanks

Hi, N23. That's interesting. It was just a guess, as I said.
Since the beginning of 2004, when I bought my Titanium Powerbook as a new, recently-discontinued model, I've read everything in all the Tibook forums here at AD on a daily basis. Though my memory isn't what it once was, I can say with pretty good confidence that this problem of unreasonable CPU loading only when a CardBus card reader is in use has very rarely, and maybe never, been reported in those forums. This despite the fact that every time someone has posted there to complain that their camera won't transfer pictures to their Powerbook, I've recommended using a CardBus reader instead of connecting the camera. No one, to the best of my recollection, has ever posted back to upbraid me for giving that advice because it didn't work out for them. And this has included lots of people who were running Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger, and a handful who were running Leopard. So I agree with you that the problem is rare and weird.
I don't understand why this is, but I know from experience that some card readers (CardBus and USB; I have no experience with FW readers) can't properly handle cards with capacities higher than 1GB, which of course are much more common now than they were a while back. So I wonder whether a mismatched card and reader might be at the root of the problem for some people who have it. Unfortunately I don't recall exactly what sort of misbehavior occurred when I tried to read a 2GB card in incompatible readers. I know that whatever it was, I didn't check Activity Monitor at the time to see if it could shed any light on the problem. I don't have access now to my daughter's camera card or the readers in question to run any new tests.
I also wonder, without directly disputing your view that pre-Spotlight OS versions might have had the same problem, whether CPU-hogging Dashboard widgets could be implicated in some way. Widgets were often found to be consuming outrageous percentages of CPU cycles in the early days of Tiger. Might there be some widget most people don't have or use that swings into action when a CardBus reader is connected, but not when a FW or USB reader is? Sounds unlikely, but I have no idea. I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who can confirm that the CPU-overloading problem also occurs in Panther or Jaguar, and not just in Tiger and Leopard.

Camera Connector & EOS 300D

Is the EOS 300D compatible with Apple's camera connector (as it supports PTP transferts, but isn't included in Apple's compatibility list) ?
Thank you,
Léopold

The helpful folks at the Bellevue, WA Apple Store assisted me in a little test to see if a current iPod with the iPod Camera Connector would work with my Digital Rebel 300D.
The answer: yes.
I brought my 300D in. It had a 512 MB card, with a handful of photos on it. Using the camera's menu I switched it from "Normal" to "PTP" protocol. Our first test failed: plugging in the cable to the iPod and then plugging into the camera and turning it on resulted in "no card attached."
The second attempt worked, however: turning on the camera FIRST and then plugging into the iPod. All photos transferred successfully.
I don't know if the first attempt failed due to the order in which we did operations, or for any number of other reasons. It also occurs to me now that we should have done a second test using the "Normal" protocol to see if that worked. But I didn't do it. In any case, I'm now satisfied that a current-generation iPod will communicate with my Digital Rebel 300D using the Apple iPod Camera Connector.

Why can't I use/build an SD card reader for iPhone?

I have searched and searched for an SD card reader for iPhone. Apple offers the camera connection kit for iPad but for some reason they have made it incompatible with iPhone. This doesn't make a whole lot of since to me unless they are trying to drive users to buy an iPad. So far I have only found one SD card reader that claims to work on iPhone: http://www.zoommediaplus.com/index.html . If they have actually made it work with iPhone and the app is in the App Store then Apple must allow apps to transffer data from SD cards. If so I can make one myself and build the hardware to go with it since the Apple SD card reader doesn't work on iPhone.
I guess my main questions are:
     Does Apple allow SD Card readers for iPhone?
     if not:
          Why don't they?
          Can anyone tell me where it is documented that you can not use SD Cart readers with iPhone?
          How does ZoomMediaPlus get their app in the App Store if it isn't allowed?
     if they do:
          Why aren't their more SD Card readers for iPhone?
          Why doesn't Apple's lightning SD Card read work with iPhone?

Of course they forbid it. You realize that an iPhone 6+ owner cannot use the Apple Lightning SD Card Reader, don't you? We know the support for their own SD Card Reader is built into iOS 8 because it works with iPads. Therefore, Apple intentionally turned the support OFF for iPhones.
and it appears no one else has bothered to attempt to produce one
No, Apple forbids any third parties from producing one. They produce them for iPads but they cannot work on iPhones, because Apple chooses not to permit such functionality (i.e., they forbid it). Third parties produce such adapters for Android, so obviously they would want to do the same for iOS so they could sell more.
You're recommendation for AirStash is uninformed. I've tried it and found it to be a clunky time-consuming workaround if all you want to do is import some photos from an SD card. Using Photos in iOS to import photos is a far more elegant solution - an Apple solution that just works (if you purchased an iPad).
If it bothers you that iPhones do not work with Apple's own Lightning SD Card Reader, then I suggest you leave feedback instead of attacking those who point it out:

Fuji finepix 4800 zoom and camera connector

Anyone know if the fuji finepix 4800 zoom works with the ipod camera connector. I took my camera along to my unhelpful apple reseller in Glasgow and they refused to let me test it with my 5G and said I would have to look up the compatibility list. I explained it wasn't on it and just got a shrug of the shoulders.

hiya!
hmmm. that particular model of Fuji Finepix isn't listed on the compatability list:
http://www.apple.com/ipod/compatibility/cameraconnector.html
... on the other hand, that page also says:
The cameras on this list have been tested for compatibility by Apple or the camera’s manufacturer; other digital cameras may also be compatible with the iPod Camera Connector. Some models may lose compatibility due to modification of the camera’s specifications by the manufacturer. If your camera is not on this list, please consult your owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to verify compatibility.
... so it might be worth checking in at Fuji about this.
love, b

Camera connector with 1.0 firmware?

Ivan,
The version 1.1 requirement refers to iPod photo software version 1.1 (for the older iPod)
The 5G iPod version of 1.0 should be compatible with the iPod camera connector.

Camera Connector with Cannon Camera

Hello. I have been having problems with uploading the photos from my Powershot SD400 Elph camera on to my 30GB Video ipod. I have downloaded photos on to my ipod before from the same camera and it worked. But now it isn´t working. I have followed all of the directions off the apple website about downloading/uploading photos with the camera connector and it still doesn´t work. I was wondering if someone could tell me what I need to do to make it work again? The camera, Cannon SD400 Elph is not listed as a compatible camera, however, the camera Cannon SD400 is listed as a camera that should work with the camera connector (from ipod). I am not sure if the inclusion of the word "elph" makes a difference. I am in somewhat of hurry to get any advice. Thanks for your help!

Ivan,
The version 1.1 requirement refers to iPod photo software version 1.1 (for the older iPod)

Camera connector and Kodak camera

Hi all,
will my Kodak DX7630 camera be compatible with the iPod Camera connector? It doesn´t show up in the compatibility list, but perhaps it will although work...

The Camera Connector is a USB adapter. If your camera can unload via USB to a PC it should probably work. Haven't tried mine yet but it looks slick.
Actually I just did. Hooked up my Sony T1 docking station to it and it works great. Perhaps a little slower than to the G5 but very acceptable and potentially very handy.

Can we integrate credit card readers into a web app?

Most readers have companies that support them . . . I was wondering if it's possible to build a web app, through the online store, to utilize the plug in credit card readers for your phone??

Web apps are not eCommerce and have no public access (outside) API so ignore those.
You can create 3rd party solutions that read that data and send it to BC via the API and you can source build that if you need to.
There is nothing in BC directly for what your asking for.

OS X 10.4.x on PPC and Intel having problems with Card Readers

Hello,
I am in charge of a school district running about 75 client macs, all PPC G5 and Intel mixed. I have been having reports that the Lexar card readers for the digital photography lab sometimes do not auto-mount the media that is inserted into them. Apple System Profiler detects the card reader, but when the card is stuck into the reader it does not appear in finder at all to retrieve the files.
Upon testing, a reboot usually alleviates the problem, but the teachers feel that the interuption in class and productivity time for a reboot is unacceptable.
I have the user accounts managed through Workgroup Manager on my Xserve, and I have it set so that they have access to auto-mount media (unless I'm missing a setting somewhere. But i'd think if the setting was off, the reboot wouldn't matter and it wouldn't fix the issue).
At anyrate, my question is has anyone else expierenced problems with card readers and auto-mounting the media in OS X? How about in a multi-user environment. Does anyone have any suggestions? All are welcome.
Thanks so much for your time.

Since the latest update Mac OS X 10.4.9, my USB card readers have stopped working. The media is recocognized, but the transfer rate is so slow I could manually write the binary.
There were no issues prior to this update, and card readers work on machines NOT updated.

There is not such adopter for an iPod. One for an iPad. However, there are wifi card readers like:
