I searched looking for a subforum for this question, but couldnt find anything..
I've found it extremly frustrating to constantly drag out the USB cable, plug it into the body and download the images..
The CF card reader seems good, and I used a 8 in 1 Sandisk item in Queenstown last week
What CF reader should I be looking at or is there a better method to quickly transfer images to your PC?
Thankyou !

Just grab a reader mate & if you are running out of USB slots grab a USB bus while you’re at it.
Hook it all up & forget your problems
Cheers

It probably won't make much of a difference which brand you use, provided it's using USB 2.0 (and you have USB 2) over USB 1.

A $35.00 / 7in1 card reader/ USB2.0/ Firewire.
-Slot it into the empty 5.1/4 bay of your PC. It provides 7in1 Reader + 2 x USB 2.0 + 1 x Firewire port in the front of your PC.
-Or the 7in1 card reader can be on standalone or slot into your empty 3.1/2 bay of your PC.

Mr. Gadgets?
Uh-oh.. we might have to make a subforum for computer prices. Word to the wise, that is not a good price for a card reader, when you can pick one up for a hell of a lot cheaper at places like Computer World.

Computer World has the Enlight REX-DO2 6-in-1 USB2.0 Card Reader/Writer for $45.00/ I said for $35.00.
The cheapest one on their website is $30.00, it's a donkey! It only reads SD!
