I found the specs for it on Apple US's website:
With the iPad Camera Connection Kit, it's incredibly easy to download photos from your digital camera to your iPad so you can view them on the gorgeous iPad display and share them with family and friends.
The kit includes two connectors, each with a different interface:
The Camera Connector features a USB interface. Just plug it into the dock connector port on your iPad, then attach your digital camera or iPhone using a USB cable (not included).
Use the SD Card Reader to import photos directly from your camera's SD card. Connect it to your iPad, then insert your digital camera's SD card into the slot.
After you make the connection, your iPad automatically opens the Photos app, which lets you choose which pictures to import, then organizes the selected photos into albums. When you sync iPad to your PC or Mac, the photos on your iPad are added to your computer's photo library.
iPad and the Camera Connection Kit support standard photo formats, including JPEG and RAW.
What I'm really hoping to find out when it comes out is what it's ability is for sharing full-resolution photos on the go to sites such as Flickr & Picasa, as well as imported video to YouTube etc.
I'd also like it to be able to recognise the GPS location tags from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ10 (http://www.panasonic.net/avc/lumix/compact/zs7_tz10/index.html) (awesome camera BTW) - but the description seems to state "Places" support only when synced to iPhoto on Mac.
Reason? This would be an awesome "travel/backpacking" machine so as I am on holidays or travelling for work I can post photos, blogs, twitter etc without requiring me to carry a laptop.
Here's hoping it can do these pretty simple things.

Shane.
