card readers

[Davi]

anyone got a recommendation on a half decent card reader? I didn't want to try and balance the camera in the building site with a lead lugged in ever again (nearly ended in disaster ) so went and bought a E-Blue card reader.

It's total, utter cack. Or at least, unless I'm missing something it is. Direct from camera I can have all the pics off the card and onto CD within a few minutes - through this thing... well it's been sat there for half hour and hasn't even finished downloading the thumbnails to select from...

I use a Sandisk Extreme reader. It reads 12MB RAW files from my Canon 5D in about a second each. That's plenty fast enough for me!
