Thanks! Can't believe they put USB1.1 into gear to read 10Mbyte/s (CF
66x) flash memory - I mean, why go full speed when one can wait 10
times as long. That makes the card reader interesting (and the specific
camera interface mostly irrelevant).
 

The speed limitation for some cameras is not the USB interface, but the 
interface to the flash memory card - e.g. something like 1.5 MB/s for 
Memory Stick (IIRC)
