I can understand that you want the camera fixed, and it's only right that the thing should work properly, especially if it's still under warranty.

BUT, using a card reader is really no problem. That is all I've ever used with my new camera and I really prefer it. To me it's so much easier to keep the card reader near the computer and when I'm ready to download I just flick the card out of the camera and into the reader. When I'm done I just replace it after erasing it. This way I don't use battery power to download or I don't have to worry about having the AC cord for the camera so the batteries don't die in the middle of downloading.

I don't know, with my last camera I never used a reader. With this camera it's the only thing I've ever used - and I love it! I've got CompactFlash cards and the reader was only $20.00 - cheap enough that I bought one for home and one for work.

So, I do think you should get your camera repaired since it is still under warranty, but then why not try a card reader? If it turns out your absolutely positively don't like it, you can always return it.
