I’m very happy….

…with this purchase. I was getting frustrated with getting photos off of my CF card through the camera, and decided to give a card reader a try. I picked the Sony because of its size: the SanDisk’s (which is a fantastic company) equivilant card reader was just too large for what I was hoping for. The Sony card reader is small enough that it fits inside of an Altoids tin, so it’s easy to stow away inside your computer bag or where ever else you may keep it.

The best thing about the reader is simply how efficient it is. Instead of needing to drag your digital camera(s) around, you can just carry this thing around. My photos transfered to my laptop WAY faster and with a lot less holdups that through the actual camera, making for a much smoother downloading process altogether. This thing fits 17 different kinds of memory cards: virtually every kind.

Note that on the packaging it says that it takes CompactFlash I and II cards. I was a bit nervous about this because I use a CompactFlash Extreme III card - but I’m happy to say that it worked just fine with that card as well.

Excellent product from an excellent company - thanks Sony!
