![]() ![]() 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. Panel size: I actually prefer the 5.25 but will take a 3.5 just as easy.I know that this is a lot to ask but again: less is more. The only other format I use occasionally is microSD, which would be a bonus. I don't need extra SATA or headphone jack outlets. I'm not looking for a panel with a dozen slots. USB3 - at least one connector, since I'm giving up the USB3 on the motherboard.SD - full compatibility with the most advanced cards available.CF - full compatibility with the most advanced cards available.An internal card reader that connects via internal USB3 connector (on the MB).Currently my most expensive CF card is $400 and is 256GB but that's about to change. I don't want my photos to be ruined, or my $900 card rendered useless because the reader couldn't handle the 512GB capacity or used improper voltage. I can be a happy camper with a card reader that is much slower than 200 mb/s, as long as it's reliable. There are units that go for under 10 dollars as well as ones that cost over 1K. Now, the prices of card readers vary wildly. Obviously there are cards that can go faster than that (I'm planning on getting one). It's as if these parameters are not important.Ĭurrently the fastest (and my main) CF card can read 120 mb/s. And by 'specs', I mean: 'Maximum capacity compatibility" and 'Maximum read speed'. ![]() 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). ![]()
