iPad Camera Connection Kit my new gadget | Apple | Immediacy, immediacy rules nowadays. Followers want to know what you are doing to the minute. Hotels, airlines, destinations want to be feature on the spot. And I like to tell everything is going on right at the moment is happening. For month I have been researching on a way to do this, without compromising video of photo quality. You know the iPhone is great, but let’s be honest, it is not a professional Canon or Nikon. So I found this simple and portable Camera Connection Kit that allows me to connect either my Nikon camera to my iPad or my Memory Card to my iPad, and be able to upload high quality videos or photos right on the spot. Isn’t it a great gadget ? and only USD 29. Of course I need to have either 3G or WiFi connection, but hey I am working on owning my own satellite anytime soon, so for now I am just browsing around looking for alternative connections. Cool Travel Gadgets. CM
