[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1193817"] Good news for the OP: you're not crazy! The camera connector kit DID used to work differently than it does now! The change happened in iOS 4.2: Apple reduced the amount of power the CCK would supply. This was done to preserve the iPad's battery life, and also (possibly) to put a stop to Chinese knock-off accessories. The solution to the "problem" is to stop using a self-powered card reader and use your actual camera's USB port instead: the camera has its own power supply (the battery) so it will work fine. As for the SD card reader portion of the kit, it only works with SD cards. [/QUOTE]
