Buyer Reviews :
The reason for why I bought this item was that I did not want to connect my camera always whenever I wanted to transfer pictures from my digital camera to my computer. Why? Just a bit more flexible at the same time as I spare the batteries of my camera, and for this price, I think it is worth it.
There are a lot of CF-readers on the market but this one I feel comes with a good price. Paying more for a thing like this would be a waste of money. I feel that as long as the functionality is the same, there is no need for spending more cash. This CF-reader is also very flexible since it allows you to detach the cable from the reader. If you have 'easy to reach' USB connections you can connect the reader directly which in combination with usage on Windows 2000/XP (requires no special drivers) makes it a very small and portable solution.
There is only one thing you should remember before buying this CF-reader if you are a user of older versions of Windows, e.g., Windows 95/98. Then you need to install some drivers before first usage on a computer. So, it is not possible to just connect it to any computer without first installing the drivers (for example connecting it to your friends computer to share pictures). This is however not a big problem but it removes some of the flexibility of being able to connect it anywhere.
An alternative for Laptop users with a free PC Card-slot can be a PC Card CF-reader. These also come with a good price (cheaper than a USB-reader) and usually (the ones I have used) do not require any special drivers.
Once you are ok with what I have mentioned above, I recommend this as a buy. I have used the CF-reader on several computers with no problem at all. Good value and easy to use.
