Advent Calendar Day 11

You have a camera. It came with cables. You lost them. How do you get your pictures from the memory card to your computer? Simple: use a card reader.

In fact, even if you're one of the tiny minority that didn't lose the cables we still recommend you use a card reader. There are lots of reasons:

1. They are often faster - most card readers will run at full USB 2 speed. Some older cameras only support USB 1. USB 2 is faster - up to forty times faster
2. Save your batteries - you don't need to keep the camera powered up to transfer pictures
3. No plugging and unplugging things from your computer - you know that's going to break something sooner or later
4. When your mate drops round with a different camera you can drop their card into your reader and look at all the pictures

So it's simple - get a card reader. Even better get one of these fantastic Extreme IV card readers from SanDisk. With the right card there is no faster way to transfer data to your computer. Even better win one - click here to enter.
