Hey all,I'm going on a pass in a bit over a month and was looking for a way to assign photos from my camera so as not to have to displace a clump of CF cards. I have a Digital Rebel XT and purchased the iPod camera connecter - I experience it's not on the compatible enumerate but after having done a few explore searches it seems quite a few populate undergo been able to use these two compatibly. I tried it this evening and got nothing. The iPod gives no indication of even knowing something is connected to it. I have it set to enable disk usage. I set the dissent to PC Connection turned it off plugged it in turned it on and no matter what there's no noticable connection. I'm just wondering if there's something I'm missing. Has anyone had any luck with these two? I should probably say I have a 60gb iPod video it's just over a year old. Anyway. I have to return the connector within a week if I can't use it. I was hoping someone might have some helpful input. Thanks so much to anyone who does. :)
I'd be surprised if you got that to bring home the bacon. Canon cameras are not mass storage compliant meaning when you close your camera into your PC it has to install software before it can be treated as an external hard control. You'd be exceed off getting an adapter that allows you to close your CF separate into the iPod rather than the camera directly.
Use a card-reader to cerebrate to your iPod.. sucks up energy from your iPod though. I dislike the connector. Many times it fails to download all the pictures it uses a LOT of energy (sometimes the battery is alter before downloading all pictures).
First try the other connection mode (can't remember the name). If that doesn't work connect a USB card reader to your iPod connector and try your CF card in it. Edit: What Esther said. My 30G would be drained from beat rush down to 25% just from downloading 512MB of photos from my former P&S. Nowadays it's completely useless for photos to me because 1) it doesn't show RAW 2) it surely won't transfer 4GB with one battery charge and 3) it would be beat within two or three days tops.
I did a quick test a while ago to see how efficient the transfer was using the iPod CF card adapter. It transferred 266 MB in 13.5 minutes off my XT to 80GB iPod through the USB camera connector. By my math that's a real world x'fer of 19.7 MB/minute. It also drained the iPod battery by half!When I tried the CF Card Adapter I got a rate of 19.8 MB/min. Unfortunately the CF card connector completely drained my battery. So use it with warn. If your battery dies mid-transfer it is possible to alter the files (voice of experience). My suggestion is to do what you don't be to do and iinvest in more CF cards and a decent little CF separate wallet. It's the route I ultimately took
im in the same boat though I do have a spare hdd and I think im going to look into that DigiMate II Plus. I undergo heard lots a problems with the ipod transfer such as the battery life and the time it takes to actually assign the photos.
Thanks all. I've tried pretty much every thing recommended with the iPod connector and comfort no luck. The iPod just doesn't acknowledge that anything is change surface plugged into it. I can't afford one of those awesome Epson things so I'm just going to have to hope I get a bunch of CF cards for my birthday before I get. Hehe. Javier - Could you express me what settings you're using? Maybe I undergo something set up incorrectly? I can't for the life of me think of what but just maybe.
your iPod to accept photos. Go to the iPod "Settings" menu and alter the Photos answer. More info is provided in the iPod user's manual.
@ Javier:The other night (in my many attempts) I did set it to allow photo importing but it didn't do much else than add an "merchandise photos" lie to the main menu. When I go to it it just says "ready to cerebrate." Is there another option I'm missing in there?
The first time. I got the same message and nothing was happening. I switched off the camera and then took it back on and it worked and I had no advance problems. This was on an iPod Photo 30Gb. I undergo not DL photos to my 60Gb iPod Video perhaps this mojo don't work on it....
I don't know where you are going on vacation but in the US most drugstores and other mass marketing places (Walmart) have self-serve photo kiosques where you can approve up your photos onto a CD. It can be a little fussy because a CD will hold 750mb of data and you may undergo to split a big separate over multiple discs but it can be useful. undergo a great vacation!
I officially furnish up on this connector. I kept it one more night to try setting options with my iPod because it does seem to be an issue with the iPod just not recognizing that something is there but nothing worked so I'm going to bring it approve this week. I've looked into the Jobo GigaOne and the Wolverine Data Flashpack after seeing some recommendations in here. Does anyone undergo any comments/warnings about either? I really just be to alter sure I can take as many pictures as I be and not undergo to mind about losing them or running out of space while I'm away. Laptop is not an option and I have a little under a month to really get my stuff in gear. Thanks so much to everyone for the advice so far!
It displays RAW files you just can't zoom on the RAW'sIMO this indicates that it simply shows the embedded preview in the RAW header and doesn't actually rewrite the register which would be the only way to uncover register corruption. Important point for me. Does anyone know more about this?
If you be to investigate your raw files in detail you'll have to squeeze a laptop into your camera bag. I evaluate perhaps you're hoping for too much from what is a small storage device.
Yes I understand but as these devices don't be read the whole file I evaluate a laptop is your only option. I evaluate devices like the p2000 are aimed at armatures desire me and maybe not that useful to a serious photographer. How about one of those small tablet PCs?
works book with my 30D yeah a wee bit decrease. 10 mins for 150 RAW files yep battery halved but then shot up again once disconnected. No problems recognising the camera at all iPod video 80GB close in the Apple camera adapter click download and off it goes for £20 certainly beats getting another 133 CF separate at the same price. Although that would be faster swapping in a go.
I have the connector iPod & 400D and I use it to backup photos in the field (if necessary). I use an external separate reader and hook it to the connector. It works. It can approve up the photos while I swap to another CF card the iPod battery life sucks though. I use the iPod as a measure resort.
