I've always used a card reader, and the only trouble I've ever had
with it was bending one of the contacts on the reader trying to get a CF
card into it. Never had even the slightest hint of a problem with SD or
SDHC cards, though.

Same here. I recall CF cards and microdrives being a bigger pain and
requiring more care but SD's been trouble-free thus far. And guess how
happy I was when SDHC cards became affordable and gave me an excuse to
replace my old USB 1.1 SD reader =)

Use only SD and always with a card reader. Never a hint of a problem.

Hi,
I always transfer pictures to my PC using its card reader.
I can't remember why
I decided to do it this way, possibly because it is faster
and doesn't eat the
camera's battery.
However, I have been in contact with a person specialized
in recovery disks and
cards from hardware failures, and he showed me how fragile
the contacts in the
memory cards are. Also he told me horror stories about
cards being damaged only
by taking them in and out of the camera...all this scared
me a bit, frankly.
So...how do you tranfer your pictures? Do you think that
there is a risk in
removing frequently the card from the camera?
Thanks,
Jaume
