5 out of 5 stars Fast transfer!   August 30, 2008
Kathy in MD (Maryland)
I'm very happy with this card reader. Everything works as described - and the photo transfer is FAST! Much faster than the cord that attaches directly to my camera, so now I use the card reader exclusively. Great product.


3 out of 5 stars Great working product, but odd design   August 23, 2008
Christine (Chicago, IL)
I bought this product to take care of the problem of everone at work asking me to download their photos, even though they each have different memory cards.

I found that the design is very odd. It has a garage door opener-type switch on the top which slides the chasis deep into, or flush with, the outer shell. Perhaps this is to protect the cards once they are in, but I though it to be very unnecessary.

This product did not meet the one size fits all challenger either. My coworker asked to borrow this and her memory card did not fit.

Aside from that, the Kingston is a reliable brand and this is a reliable product and it has really helped me out when I needed it.



4 out of 5 stars Works OK, may need firmware update   August 17, 2008
R. Williams
I'm using it with 4GB and 8GB SanDisk and PNY UDMA-enabled CF cards; it works well for the price BUT...

The one I received would not read 8GB cards out of the box. I contacted Kingston tech support and downloaded the firmware update; the problem was solved.



3 out of 5 stars Works fine but NO XD   August 11, 2008
C. Boostrom (New York)
This is fine for SD/CF but they should clarify in the description that it does not support XD cards.
