Review on πŸ“· Belkin Digital Camera Link for iPod 3G (White) - Seamlessly connect and enhance your photography experience! by Sean Bouchard

Reliable Product, One Fault

The Belkin Digital Camera Link is by far the best way to back up photos straight from your digital camera to your iPod. I use my DCL with a 20GB iPod 4G and it works fine. Because it's USB 1.1 based, the transfer isn't as fast as the FireWire card reader connected to my G4, but the speed is decent. You connect the DCL to the iPod and then connect the camera. When the camera is ready, press the button on the DCL and the front panel LEDs will animate to indicate a transfer is in progress. When the animation stops, the transfer is complete. If the LEDs turn red, this is a problem. It only turned red for me when I tried the MicroDrive in a card reader (see below). It works fine on my Canon PowerShot S50. It also worked with a CompactFlash card plugged into a universal USB memory card reader. This did not work with IBM MicroDrive. It transfers photos and movies seamlessly. One disadvantage: photos are not deleted from the camera after uploading. You have to do it on camera.
