Customer Review: If it's free...maybe.
Summary: 1 Stars
Picked this up free with the purchase of a SanDisk CF card, and I _may_ decide to use it. The pins feel incredibly cheap (several of them were already slightly bent out of the box) and the card doesn't seat all that well in its slot, so during my first test the card slipped a bit and it stalled midway through importing 10 photos into Aperture. No data lost, fortunately, but suffice it to say I have serious doubts about how the unit will hold up.
Also, in spite of advertising itself as usb 2.0 my Olympus E-420, a camera with only usb 1.0 connectivity, doesn't seem to upload pictures appreciably slower than this reader. I haven't done any scientific benchmarking or anything, but having now used both reader and camera with several different speeds of CF card, I'd say that both perform relatively quickly, and that when it comes to the time it takes to upload photos to my hard drive, card speed seems to matter more that input device.
Long story short, I would absolutely not exchange actual legal tender for this thing. As it was a freebie I will toss it in my camera bag for the rare occasions when I'm working with my laptop in the field and really need to save camera batteries, but other than that I think I'll rely on my trusty usb cable and Olympus E-420.
