Image transfer

[Soundaholic]

Hi guys, i've been using my camera to transfer images from the memory card to my computer but I'm wondering if it would be faster to use a specialized memory card reader instead? If yes which one would you recommend? My main card is Sandisk extreme 8Gb (30MB/s) btw

Get the Sandisk USB 2.0 reader. Don't trust the $10 sim lim "USB 2.0" readers, they're actually only USB 1.1

I shoot RAW and there were a few time I used up the whole 8GB card. Previously when I used my lousy $10++ card reader, it took me 40min to sometimes an hour plus to transfer all the photos to my PC.

I got fed-up and invested in a $59 sandisk card reader, now it takes less then 10mins to transfer the whole of 8GB!!

Using the Sandisk USB 2.0 reader too, it will do the job well.. till USB3.0 become the new standard ;p
