Well mine arrived just now, and I have done a few tests. I took 9 RAW images with my Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) on my 512MB Crucial compactflash card. Importing from my 300D took…

does anyone have an unpowered USB card reader they can test with the adapter?

Well mine is powered by the USB port if that is what you mean. Hey, I just tried the memory stick from my Clie in my card reader and the iPod imported the pictures!

that is what i meant, thanks. so this means that if you're out in the middle of the jungle taking pictures of tree snakes and your memory card fills up, you'll be able to offload p…

LukeGX Yes the camera connecter does transfer RAW images, but no the iPod does not preview them. It just says that this photo format cannot be viewed on the iPod and to transfer …

has anyone done a battery life test? you know, to see how long the ipod photo can last while transferring photos from a camera. how long while transferring from an unpowered card r…

I haven't noticed a big difference hood. I mean I am sure it takes a bit, But then again I have never ran out of juice on my iPod.

Do I really have to manually set date & time on my iPod? I couldn't find any setting in iTunes to have the iPod's date and time set with my Mac's time when I sync the two. I al…

When my iPod had a dead battery (total failure, not just wear and tear), it would die after 20 minutes and shut off, causing it to forget the time. Syncing it always set the time f…

Mine gets set during syncing.

Mine does not get it during syncing and occasionally the time will just start being wrong I have a 3G 15 gig

My 2G does not automatically synch, even with the latest firmware. My 3G certainly does, though.

Right next to DSLReports' speed tests are their Java-based Tweak tests. These tests will determine whether or not your particular computer is set up to efficiently use the availabl…

That tweak page is pretty unclear in its instructions for Mac OS X, and I don't trust that which I don't understand. As for downloading an app whose instructions are in Japanese, w…

As it says on the Mac FAQ page, this little application is pretty self-explanatory. And besides, all the controls and windows of the app are in English. If the Tweak Test says to…

Skeptical at first, I went ahead and downloaded the app. There's this nifty "Optimize" button that chooses better settings for you. You hit apply and indeed, your connection immedi…
