Reading Between the Lines... Review ofBelkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 15-in-1 Media Reader & Writer Card readerby

Advantages: Good Looking, Lots of options Disadvantages: Could be a touch cheaper...
I seem to have lagged behind with this technology since its inception a few years back. More recently I've seen computers ship with these devices internally installed, and many brands and models are gradually creeping into computer retailers' catalogs!
After a joint purchase of a Fuji Digital Camera with my housemates, as this was the most viable option being a very poor student, (sad violin strikes up :D), the three of us decided to each purchase ... ...all did. Living in a housefull of friends is difficult enough (who hasn't done their washing up? hehe), getting on each others toes and all that. We all thought it best to avoid the "who deleted my photos from the other day" fallout. Fuji cameras use the xD card format, which this reader is capable of accessing. *********************************************************
But why not just transfer using the camera over USB?

You just plug it into your USB port on your computer, put your memory card from your camera into the appropriate slot and 'hey presto' download/upload your photos and ... ...and plug it into the Belkin - so you don't run down your batteries and you keep your battery time for the important job of taking photos
* You can delete the photos 'off' the memory storage stick whilst they are on your screen - so you don't have to go through frame by frame deleting them on the camera and, again, running down your batteries. You can edit them on the screen, load the edited pics back onto the stick and run down to the local Morissons ...
