4 out of 5 stars Nice to have fast CF and SD in one small package   August 14, 2008
Very handy to have Compact Flash and SD in the same small unit, as these are the formats I've been most likely to encounter with DSLRs and other digital cameras. Not sure why SanDisk split these formats in their newer readers. So far, it's much faster than transferring pictures through the built-in USB port on a Canon Rebel XT and 20D. And it looks smaller in real life than it does in the product photograph where it appears more elongated -- it's about 2.5" square by .75" thick.


5 out of 5 stars So nice!   August 10, 2008
It's nice to have a card reader that the card can be inserted and removed from so smothly without fear of ruining the pins and/or card sockets.

And this thing is blazing fast! With my Extreme III cards, I can transfer an entire card's worth of photos to my PC very quickly!



5 out of 5 stars OK so far   July 20, 2008

After reading reviews about it failing to read cards after a while, and having experienced that with other card readers, I was a bit hesitant but really needed a reader with a decent cable length. In the month or so I've been using it, it has failed to immediately sense an SD card a few times, but I believe in all cases it was really because the Mac had been sleeping and was not fully awake yet. I'd remove the card and reinsert it and all was well. I can't remember any failures with the compact flash slot. So I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt in awarding 5 stars. It seems faster than any other readers I've used.


5 out of 5 stars Best downloader I've had   July 3, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I got one of these are I now shoot 8gb cards, and want to download them as quick as possible. This is the quickest I've used yet, and the cards slide in and out of it very positivly. I've had other brands where the pins bent, but this is much better built. Also, it's tidy and small for travelling.

I just filled a 4GB CF card this past Saturday. As luck would have it, my card reader arrived that same day.

To test the speed, I transfered the files a total of four times:

- Camera to desktop via camera's USB 2.0 cable
- Camera to laptop via camera's USB 2.0 cable
- CF in this cardreader to desktop
- CF in this cardreader to laptop

The camera used is a Canon EOS 40D. Memory card is a 4GB Sandisk Extreme III CompactFlash. In each of the four tests, I transfered the files using Canon's ZoomBrowser EX transfer tool (included with the 40D).

Results:
Average transfer time via the 40D's USB 2.0 cable was 8:48.
Average transfer time via the cardreader was 4:36.

That's nearly twice as fast as the camera's USB 2.0 interface. Those 4 minutes could add up if you have several cards or a few 8 or 16 GB cards.

Other than that, I'm pleased with the appearance, size and feel of the reader. The cord detaches so it will fit in my camera bag easily, or it looks good just sitting on my desk. There's a small blue LED that indicates when a card is inserted.
