card reader saves you the hassle of installing the camera software.
and its much faster in some cases too

I only use card-reader.

card reader
it takes years if connect to the cam

card reader.

Direct will waste batt power of cam too. So if u need to use the camera, it's stuck to the pc or it's juice sucked dry by the usb port.

Card reader.

Since my Nikon D70s is only USB1.1 transfer, if I use external card reader, I've got USB2.0 transfer rate. I can download all the picture faster.

In Nikon D70s (I'm not sure the rest) will display -E- (empty) on top LCD if no card inside, even when the switch is on off position. Always make a good practice to check that.

Arto.

I used card reader on my old PC. but after upgraded to my Mac, the reader can't be detected. so I plug my card into my printer which has CF reader built-in.

Card reader....

 

[Lenscapes]

previously was using PnS and at times direct connect wasn't detected by the pc.
no problem anymore after using card reader.

 

[scandisk]

will still use a card reader even if the cam has USB 2.0 transfer speed....

 

[glennyong]

if bringing along laptop. card reader.

no laptop connect to other pc, wire transfer.

in short. depends.

thats for me. i use both anyway. :bsmilie:

i use card reader so much i forgot my cam can do file transfer independently.

 

[mazdadan]

I think almost consensus me also card reader.

 

[pokiemon]

card reader anytime. u take out the card and u can keep the camera safely away from desk in case you spill water or accidentally gets pushed off the table. of course u also save your camera battery.

Hi,

You mean your printer with the built-in card reader can also fucntion as a card reader on your MAC. Mine don't work this way. I'm using the Canon Selphy CP720. what is your?
