Yep. But just to be on the safe side, I checked. Took a picture with the camera (cannon 40d). Connected it to the iPad, told it to import and delete. Picture turned up in iPad. There isn't much info there, so all you can do is look at it. Then connect to the macbook. After the sync, it appears in iPhoto, and after a short while the pictures all appear, including the one I just took. Then import that. In iPhoto it shows as: kind: Canon Raw Size: 2592 x 3888 12.2MB If I export it it appears as IMG_9901.CR2. Get info in the finder says: Kind: Canon Camera Raw file Dimensions: 2"5"9"2" X" 3"8"8"8" Device model: Canon EOS 40D etc. So yes, it works. -- Woody www.alienrat.com
