Just got myself a decent reader. It was not a huge priority: I sold my old cheap reader with my D and its CF card I didn't anymore and I had a SD reader embedded in my laptop anyway. Those reader are dead slow usually but hey I could transfer the files so it was OK.
I have no other reader (except SD built into the laptop) I can't test everything. First the price: In another thread, someone mentions the price (in US I suppose) being $25. Well I had to give €36. I hate both $ -> € conversions as well as VAT :( Second: It comes with Photoshop Album Starter Edition (won't even install that one) and small application which detects when you put a card in it and ask what you wanna do. Testing as I write... Lightroom as that kind of things too so I dunno which one I'll let runnning (or maybe none). Third, the speed: A quickie test showed a Traxdata card (not sure the speed in X) scored 2250kB/s copying DNGs to the laptop. From the Sandisk reader, I get 12.500-13000 kB/s. Heck, knew it would be faster but I'm shocked (positively) :) -- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
