Does any of you have experience with the Pentax *ist DS and iPod Camera
Connector? According to the Apple webpages the Pentax *ist DS is a
supported camera, but before coughing up a lot of money I would like to
check if it really works so well as I like to expect.
I'm using a PC, is there any extra software that needs buying before I
can transfer the photos from camera to iPod and later from iPod to PC?
The apple webpages are not very clear on that.

I discovered that a 1Gb SD card will take more than 40 minutes to
download onto the iPod Photo, so it seems to be too slow to be really
useful.

FWIW I download 1GB from a Nikon D50 to the Ipod in about 36 minutes.
>From Ipod to G4 Mac in about 5 minutes using USB2. If you already have
the Ipod 29 bucks buys you a lot of storage without carrying a laptop.
Go have lunch while it downloads.

If you had a USB 2.0 hi-speed reader, the 1GB card might be much quicker.
I measured 30MB in 12s, so a 1GB might take around 7 minutes....

My USB2 reader (Billionton) just took 2' 41" for 1GB

That's more like it! The OP had talked about an hour, IIRC.
