Do you need to transfer photos from camera to the iPad? No worries then – Apple announced a Camera Connectivity Kit that should make it very easy to do so.
Here is the official Apple marketing pitch:
The Camera Connection Kit gives you two ways to import photos and videos from a digital camera. The Camera Connector lets you import your photos and videos to iPad using the camera’s USB cable. Or you can use the SD Card Reader to import photos and videos directly from the camera’s SD card.
