Very fast reader2009-01-19
I've been using this Sandisk reader for over a year now and have had no problems at all. It handles the SDHC variety of SD cards, and as others have mentioned, it is a very fast reader, especially when compared to transferring photos directly from a camera.
Card reader2008-12-12
I love this because up until now we have had 2 different cameras, that have taken 2 different cards. So this is great. 2 for 1!
Fast and reliable2008-11-29
I purchased this unit a year ago and use it about once a week. It is very fast, depending on your CF card. I've offloaded images at 30 MB/second, which is about all USB 2.0 can do. I use it with Lexar 133X/300X cards and SanDisk Extreme III cards - they all perform impressively. The SD/MMC slot works equally well. I've used it with SanDisk, Sony, and Lexar cards.

The unit has only two limitations, but they weren't limitations when I purchased it. It doesn't do SD/HD and it doesn't do CF UDMA, but it never was represented as such. Maybe SanDisk will do an upgrade in the near future.

I purchased this unit for $25, so I don't understand the current high price. But, if it drops in the future to a more reasonable, affordable price don't hesitate to buy one. Given the current economic climate, SanDisk could modernize the unit or they could stop manufacturing it and you'd be left to purchase one of the many cheaper pieces of junk that are out there. My opinon.
Lightning fast card reader!2008-11-07
I've been using this in conjunction with a SanDisk Extreme III CF card, Extreme III SD card, and a Sony MS Pro Duo card, and all three transfer at lightning fast speeds with this reader. As the old adage goes, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I'm very happy with my purchase.

I should mention that my computer (with XP Pro OS) had some difficulties recognizing this reader when I first hooked it up, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. After some frustrating troubleshooting with the Device Manager and Disk Manager, I finally got it working, with one caveat: I have to unplug and replug the USB cable almost every time I want to read a card. Likely just a problem with my computer, but I thought I'd mention my troubles.
Nice to have fast CF and SD in one small package2008-08-14
Very handy to have Compact Flash and SD in the same small unit, as these are the formats I've been most likely to encounter with DSLRs and other digital cameras. Not sure why SanDisk split these formats in their newer readers. So far, it's much faster than transferring pictures through the built-in USB port on a Canon Rebel XT and 20D. And it looks smaller in real life than it does in the product photograph where it appears more elongated -- it's about 2.5" square by .75" thick.

Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
