I've spent a few additional hours on research and came up with a crucial piece of information. I'm not trying to establish any kind of speed record. I like the way you laid it out.Įric: To me, an internal memory card reader is about convenience, nothing else. Jeff: You have a very valid point with all that 'statistics' approach. Worst case scenario: It's the cheap reader that gets busted, not a $$$ CF card, with precious photos in it. I'll just have to be mindful of the alignment every time I insert a CF card into the slot. It's hard to tell from photos and videos on YouTube but some CF slots appear to be slightly deeper than the others. I really wouldn't have thought about that one on my own. Internal readers only please.Ĭhuck: Thank you for pointing out the issue of the CF slots not being deep enough. I really need the opinions of people who have personally experienced the product they're recommending.
No cheap garbage and no overpriced gizmos.Īnd please, don't just google something up and post it here. The card reader has to be able to properly handle exotic and expensive cards. Data integrity goes before everything else. At the same time I don't want to overpay for a marginally better product. Each takes up 40-50 mb and usually there are a lot of them. I don't want to wait the whole afternoon for the photos to transfer.
I'm not looking for a panel with a dozen slots.
Fastest cf card reader 2015 full#
The thing is that there are so many readers out there, most of which are of questionable origins, without proper specs listed. Recently I've been shooting more and more outside the studio, so I need a dedicated solution. Since I upgraded to Nikon D800, I just prefer to connect the camera to the PC. On the rare occasions that I shot on location I used to transfer the photos from the CF via a cheap USB reader. Mostly I work in my studio so the file transfer is wireless. I never really needed a proper card reader. Well, I'm hoping this lands on the right ears (the left too).
