Can I only import JPG for preview but not RAW? I take small JPG & RAW together. I don't want the raw file taking up space. I use the RAW files later
I shoot with the Canon 5D2 and the files are huge. I want to use the iPad for my customers to preview the images before they leave. It will take too long to download the raw as well as the great waste of space.

Best Answer:I hasten to add that I won't have my ipad and connection kit for just under 2 weeks but as a fellow UK photographer here is how I'm thinking just now.
1) For a 5d I'm assuming you are using UDMA CF cards. That means to connect you will use a direct connection via the USB adapter.
2) It is known that USB headphone/microphone set can be successfully connected to the USB adapter, as can a USB keyboard.
3) It is known that the USB adapter won't recognise external drives, only cameras. It might be that all external drives tested were USB bus powered and it might work with an external powered drive, we'll have to see.
4) It is known that while you can copy images and videos from the SD card reader to the iPad, you can't copy them from the iPad to the SD card reader.
5) It is known that the iPad shows reasonable images with Canon and Nikon raw files but terrible images with Leica DNG files which hold much smaller previews. This indicates that the iPad is not really reading the raw file but the jpeg previews inside the file package. Leica users are getting round that issue by shooting DNG+Jpeg and then the iPad works on the jpeg instead of the DNG file.
As such, right now, I think the answer is that you will still need the laptop for in-field editing unless you restrict your workflow to jpegs. However I'd expect that the demand for a fully raw capable iPad app will be high from photographers and if it doesn't appear in the form of an app with this itteration of the iPad, I'd think it will with a more powerfull 2nd generation iPad.- Answered by Anonymous A

Can you sync a 5th generation iPod nano with the iPad not using a computer?
I don't have a computer so it would be a fantastic way to multitask, I wear my nano for the pedometer and use the iPad at work.

AnswerI spoke with an Apple tech person yesterday. The USB device only allows downloading from a camera. There are no drivers in existence today that allow printing from the USB device. Can only print using a Wi-Fi printer.

AnswerThe Camera Connection Kit comes with two adapters. One to plug in an SD card and the other to plug in the USB cord from your digital camera. You can plug your Compact Flash camera into the USB adapter and import your photos that way.
