One folder for the photos in a specific import and the second folder that contains all the imported folders. Of course each photo is actually stored in only one location, the photo app. The photos in the folders are just bookmarks for that photo, just like photos you tale from the camera roll to,place in other folders are actually stored only in the camera roll.

I find the connection kit useful. Downloads are fast.
However, I haven't seen the iPad screenful of thumbnails of the photos on the camera or SD card, as Scifan describes. I need to do some tinkering to discover this. At present, the connection options are like a "blunt instrument". Down load everything or delete everything on the camera or card!
What I do like is the appearance of folders which hold shortcuts to photos by the date taken.
I do use the facility to check and delete photos of my choosing from the camera roll, or chosen photo links in the folders.
All in all I have no regrets whatsoever in buying the connection kit. I guess you will be adding this to your shopping list for tomorrow's "Black Friday" discounts in the Apple stores, Skimonkey.

Thank you, sci and Richard for the info! I have put that down as one of my gifts to ask from Santa now.
