Which cameras are compatible with iPad 2 and iMovie ?

Hi,

Let's start a thread to help users figure out which HD cameras are compatible or not compatible with the iPad 2 with iMovie for a truly portable and convenient video editing solution. I'm only interested in cameras that work with iMovie on the iPad 2 without ever using a desktop or laptop.

My Canon T2i HD video 720p or 1080p video is not compatible. It won't even play on the iPad, but it does import into a grey box.

As a side note, a review on slash gear of the iPad 2 claims that the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF2 imports into iMovie via the camera connection kit. Has anyone been able to do the same with your GF2?

Thanks,

GP

Very good topic. I have a grandson with an iPad2 who is really wanting to 'make movies' and we are looking for a good solution he can carry with him which is more durable than the iPad.

Here is the link to the iMovie for iPad support page.

I just started wading into the topic.

The new Galaxy Camera is NOT compatible with iMovie. It does play in Quicktime, but when imported into iMovie you lose picture/sound sync. If you still have the old Flip editing software you can import the files into that and it will edit without losing sync.

I tried exporting from my Galaxy Camera into Flip software, then downloading onto my desktop... and then uploading into iMovie... but I still lost picture/sound sync.

The video from a Nikon P7000 is compatible with iMovie on the iPad.
