5 out of 5 stars Best downloader I've had   July 3, 2008
 1 out of 1 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.

I bought this USB Card Reader because I shoot photos in RAW format. They are usually about 11MB each and I fill up 2-4GB cards. My old ready would take between 20min-over an hour to download them. This ready is so much faster it is unbelievable. It would be faster if I were using a desktop and not a laptop. It is limited by the hard drive speed. I highly recommend this product.

This is much faster than coping from you camera, but you do lose the ability to rename on import using the camera's software.

"Extreme" sums this up. Performance from this card reader is top-notch. I use it with the 4GB extreme CF cards - great combination.
