Flash Card Reader

[Ribena]

I need a new flash card reader. Preferably USB 2.0 with good performance. I've set my budget at £50. What do you guys use? any recommendations?

I have a Sandisk one and it is fast enough. I had a cheapo version first in the belief that there would not be a difference, but the sandisk one is three times faster.

Mine is a Belkin. Mine was £3.99 from a local computer shop. Works perfect.

Never ever take my cards out of my camera, always connect the camera up.

Same, no reason to take the card out tbh

I have bent the pins inside two D3's over the last year!

Once my cards were stuck in this time, they have just stayed there.

carrying a card reader, is just one more piece of kit to go wrong, of late I am trying to minimise the kit I carry.
Spent last year carrying junk in my bag, stuff that rarely ever got used.

Thats debatable - anyone got a stop watch?

The speed they transfer can vary and belive it or not that IS important in some parts of photgraphy.

Im sure theres many photo agencies out there who disagree, or anyone who shoots more than 1 cards worth of photos in a shoot.
