Has anyone tried transferring RAW files from a camera (Canon or Nikon)? Someone was telling me the tablet might try to convert the files for display.

Your tablet isn't going to "try" to convert the raw files. However, you can get an app for the tablet like DSLRController that will allow you to control the camera and view images off of the card.

I doubt that a tablet would try to convert the file formats, but it could if it doesn't recognize the RAW formats. Do a google search for your tablet model and see if anyone else has ever tried this. If you can't find anything, I would just give this cable a try. What's the worst that could happen? Paul

You need to transfer 3d photos into PC then transfer to tablet. 3d photos look Ok "not great", but you can see them in 3d without glasses.

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

Unfortunately this camera will not shoot RAW files. If you wish to shoot in RAW you might be better served with a camera utilizing a larger sensor.

Hi Bob, I want to know that answer also as I'm interested in using the Zen Vision as a photo bank for my Nikon DSLR's. I went to the Creative webpage and couldn't find anything about RAW file compatability, so I left an email asking the question if the Zen would diplay a RAW file or not. I'll let you know what they say if I get a reply. Steve Smith stephen.smith.ctr@diego.af.mil

I just bought this device, I am a 5d mark II user, you can use this to export/import .CR2 (RAW) file to IPAD without any problem.I can preview CR2 in my IPAD.

I cannot get files from the camera connected to the computer.However, using a usb card reader works perfectly. It only cost me a couple of dollars as well.

We have a newer model but we did have the camera you are talking about and all we had to do was take the sd card out and put it in the sd slot of our computer. I also don't know about a tablet.

Wade, have you tried just loading the SD card after you have got video or photos on it to the computer? I do that instead of putting what is on the disc on computer. I get the videos and photos that way. Mine works awesome that way. I hope I explained that right.

I was wondering the same thing. Here's what I got from the Google developer release notes on Honeycomb 3.2 "Media sync from SD card: On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store." So I agree with yendred... this appears to be a Honeycomb issue. I'm thinking that there's a chance Google will add more SD functionality with a Honeycomb update in the future (they have been gradually ratching up SD functionality with each update of Honeycomb). But, that being said, I wouldn't hold my breath. It seems like manufacturers aren't pushing Google to develop a way to let consumers spend their cash on some third party's SD card when they'd rather force you to shill out an extra $100 to them for the larger internal memory version.... Go figure. I'm reminded of how users figured out ways to connect usb flash drives to ipads using the camera adapter so Apple quickly rushed out a software "update" to iOS that reduced power to the port rendering USB drives unusable via that "work around" (which, incidently, made it hard for photographers who were actually trying to use the "camera adapter" for their camera's CF card, to get their pictures off the card) So long as the business model is designed around tiered pricing for tablets based on internal memory, I don't think any of these manufacturers really want us to be able to add our own memory. I do hope I'm wrong, because the ability to fully utilize removable memory is what's holding me back from any tablet purchase. Sony, Apple, or otherwise.

It has not worked well for me. The SD slot was a disappointment since that was something not on my tablet so I have to use another way to access photos from my camera.

Since I don't have Windows 8, you might want to check with their site for that info. But, it does not have a RAW converter, when I visited there last. The program takes the standard files from images. You can always find even free software to adjust and convert RAW files to use in this program to even better define your art.

When I installed my sketch tablet on my computer, I downloaded the files onto a flash drive then transferred the files to my computer. Maybe try the same thing?

Yes you can i've just purchased a 64gb sdcard i use it to transfer movies as well as documents but make sure you get a usb with a slot for the sdcard i found using the sd card in a usb plays alot of your movie files opposed to inserting the sd to the into the tablet

I think you should be able to, though I never tried. I did try to import photos, which worked. But, if the file is large, it may take a long time.

If it has a mini USB connector, give it a try. If it doesn't work, return it. It's a good way to transfer photo's from your camera SD card to your tablet if you don't want to use the cloud.
