Memory Card Reader help

[Blue_Frog]

I would get a card reader for a couple reasons --

1. you dont have to keep go behind the computer to switch between cables. I dont think the Nikon and Canon have the same sized ports, but I could be wrong

2. prevents the bending of the pins plugging in the cable at the camera end -- my mom did this to hers, so now has no other option than to use the card reader i bought her.

3. Doesn't cause a drain on your cameras battery. Not a huge deal i know, but nothing sucks more than downloading like a thousand pics, and having the battery die.


Best Buy has one for about $20 -- but i'm sure you could find one for around the same price at any electronics dealer

thanks!
Our Walmart didn't have what I was looking for so that's probably where I'll head this weekend.

I have a card reader and I love it. It was such a drain on the camera batteries to load them from the camera and now my batteries last so much longer! I got a Lexar at Wal Mart and I use it to load my MP# player and my pictures. Seems just as fast as doing it directly to me, but saves my batteries.

Staci,

I have always used a card reader. My USB port is on the back like someone said and it is just easier to plug it into the card reader and keep it there so I can download anytime. And when I went from my old Nikon to my new Nikon and now Canon, the size of the card changed so again it was much easier than switching out camera cords. I love mine and find it very easy and efficeint to use.
