Apple shipped my camera kit to me last week and it works exactly as the ones available on release day before the overwhelming demand that far exceeded Apple's expectations caused them to receive more orders than they're manufacturing facilities could keep up with.

But the question is...when did YOU order yours?
 
You all are going to LOVE the Camera Connection Kit!!!

I must say that the CCK is awesome. My mother-in-law sent my kids customer Birthday cards and asked that I take pictures and send them to her.

Since I recently got a P&S with an SD card, I was able to take the pics, transfer them to the iPad and e-mail them to her in under 5 minutes. I loved it and she was so surprised since it would take MUCH longer when I used my DSLR, which consisted me booting up my laptop, opening Lightroom, transferring the pics, exporting to JPG, and them e-mailing them.

Love it for those quick moments where post editing is not a major concern.

Now if video transfers and YouTube uploads could be done as easily.
 
Finally got mines it came early, was suppose to received it on July 1st but got it today (delivered). :D
 
I've got an upcoming trip to Australia where I'm ONLY taking my DSLRs and two iPads. I haven't placed an order for a CCK because I thought I could snag one at my local Apple store... but now, a month in it looks like it might not work out (doh!).

I've seen some CCK's for around $60 at various vendors on the net. Does anyone know if any of these are reputable? $60 is nothing compared to the total trip cost... as long as it is a genuine part and works properly.

Has anyone ordered from somewhere other than Apple and had it work out?

Thanks!
 
Ordered mine yesterday from the UK Apple store. Estimated delivery August 12th...Which is the day I fly out to America and the exact reason I want the camera connection kit. It's like it's taunting me.

Similar situation for me. I have a trip to Norway coming up and can't wait for the CCK to ship from Apple. I ordered one yesterday for $55 from a well rated eBay seller and he shipped it the same day. The Apple order that I just canceled came to about $40 with fast shipping. An extra $15 to be sure I get it in time for my trip is well worth it.

Who was your seller? Mine is arriving the day I leave on holidays also, and I would prefer to play with it for a while before I leave to make sure it works with my camera/card :(
