I knew that the iPod photo plus iPod Camera Connector would work with my Nikon D70; it's on the compatibility list. I was hoping it would work with my wife's new Olympus C-70Z (C700Z in the US), and it did. I wasn't sure if it would work with my old Sony DSC-F717, and it did. I was pretty sure it would not work with my USB 2.0 card reader, and it.... did!

My USB 2.0 card reader has no branding, and shipped as part of the Navman 4470 GPS for Palm OS 5 package. It reads SD, MMC, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, CompactFlash, and has a fourth slot for I don't know what media (it came with no instructions!). I just plugged it in and it offered to import from the inserted card:

Tip: You really need to fully charge the iPod before using it to import photos. For example, mine was nearly depleted after importing 141 photos (NEF + JPEG from a D70, 77 MB)—a process that took 34 minutes. Annoyingly, you can't import some pictures then pick up where you left off: you'll have to import the lot again as a new roll.
