Memory Card Reader help

[shais_mom]

well I do have to switch the cords when I upload them b/c they are different ends. - which is understandable since they are two different kinds of cameras. But even when I had 2 fuji's I had to keep them both plugged in at all times b/c they were different. But my sister's old Canon and my new Canon fit the same cord. Go figure!!
Thanks for all the replies - I'm finding it interesting in hearing what everyone uses.

Staci,
I have a Lexar memory card reader and love it. My S1 takes compact flash so if I want to upload pictures to my laptop I use it since it doesn't have a port for that.

That's the one I have too, Staci and I love it! And I think I bought it at WalMart.

See I think they should all be universal. I know my Canons just use a regular 'ol USB cord, one I use for any USB device I own (MP3 players, cell phones, modem, PDA, it works with them all). I think other camera brands need to step up to the plate and get with the program... cause I mean, seriously, in most households nowdays more than one brand of camera (in some cases) are owned, and the hassle that you have... is dumb, they should make it just a little easier. Then again... anything to make people keep buying the same brand.... lol

you are very much right -
but since when did big companies care about what is easier on the consumer!

Only when it puts a little $$$ into their own pocket do they care, lol
