 Rating: - Quality at a low priceIf you've never used a card reader to upload your photos before, they are invaluable. No need to connect your camera up to your PC, no drain on the battery while the files copy across, and, certainly in the case of my both my Canon D-SLR and Panasonic compact, it does the job significantly more quickly than plugging my camera in direct. USB card readers don't need to be fancy - just reliable - and this Hama product does the job quickly, efficiently and with a minimum of fuss, all for a bargain price. Simply plug and play, and off you go. There's really very little else that needs to be said! Rating: - Great ValueI bought this tiny card reader at a bargain price from Amazon to cope with the new generation of SDHC cards which were beyond my older card reader. If you have a variety of old and new memory card formats from different devices this reader should be able to cope with its choice of 35 types of card together with a fast USB2 connection. Plug and play indeed, downloading couldn't be simpler or cheaper. Rating: - Why pay more?This is the bargain of the year. This thing will read 35 (yes, 35!) different card types, and all you do is plug it in your USB port. It's fast, too - no lag on drag'n'drop at all. And it's less than a fiver... what more do you want? Jam on it? Rating: - Plug 'n' Play!Great value for money - and so simple to use - simply plug and play! I can't critisize this card reader in any way. Perfic! Rating: - More card tricks than Paul DanielsI think the previous reviews speak for themselves - this is an excellent card reader both for the price (still £3.99 at time of writing) and for its capabilities. Measuring about the size of a pack of cards, it has 4 slots in the front into which cards and microdrives are placed. As with a lot of electronics these days, it's made of a fairly cheap plastic but for less than a fiver that's easily forgivable. The reader doesn't come with any drivers but it does work under Vista (as you'd expect) and connects using an included short USB cable. Read and write speeds seem pretty impressive although I am yet to transfer anything of any real size so copying a 4GB file might be the real proof of the pudding. Cards push into the front and are simply pulled out to remove them - it would have been nice to have spring-loaded slots but that might have been a problem to implement given the sheer number of cards the reader can handle. Some of the slots accommodate cards of fairly different sizes so it's not entirely clear at first as to where in each slot some of the cards should be inserted, but this really is just finding fault in an otherwise great value product. Visit Hama.co.uk for a full list of the cards it can take and whether each one can be plugged without the use of an adaptor. I would detail them all here but it is quite a long list. Suffice to say, the usual suspects are all catered for (SD, mini-SD MicroSD, around 10 kinds of Memory Stick, xD) as well as a bucketful I've never heard of. If your card isn't listed, my advice would be to take a chance and buy one as I'm yet to find a card it doesn't like.
