Rating: - Doesn't work with Nikon 8800
This product may work well with some cameras, but it doesn't work with the Nikon 8800 at all. The camera doesn't recognize media attached through this connector.

But they need to do one like this to video cameras too not only photos
Rating: - Easy to use digital camera photo importing
There were several options available when I was looking for a way to transfer my digital photos from my canon digital camera to my iPod while traveling so that I would have plenty of storage space without lugging around a computer. I have the 60 GB video iPod and thought that it would be an ideal storage solution while traveling. The iPod camera connector works as advertised but with a few notable limitations.
1. The photos are imported slowly - at least 15 seconds per photo
2. The battery life of the iPod is greatly affected. A transfer of 250 photos will drain about 40 percent of the battery when it was fully charged. This means that after each day, I was forced to charge both my camera and my iPod.
3. The photo orientation is lost - when importing directly to my computer the landscape vs portrait settings of the photos are retained so that the photos are displayed correctly. However, while importing via the iPod Camera Connector that information is not retained and photos must be manually rotated if shot with the camera rotated 90 degrees.
Overall, the product was helpful and satisfied my requirements. I would recommend this product to others if you have similar requirements.
Rating: - Works, but slowly.
It gets the job done and is very easy to use. The only drawback is that it really drains the iPod's battery and is very slow. If you are concerned about speed or battery life, you might want to consider another portable storage device. I bought it to back up my pictures on a recent trip to Costa Rica and it did the job.
Rating: - Works Just Fine
The Apple iPod Camera Connector works just as it is supposed to. It was my experience that transferring from cameras producing large(r) images takes some time, so be sure both camera and iPod batteries are charged.
