Just an FYI.
Wasn't sure where to post this, if at all. It's not a "Hot Deal". I'm sure Brian will slap me upside the head if it doesn't belong here.
I bent a few pins pushing my CF card into my old faithful card reader. Been out of the picture business for about a week. I found this one on overstock.com. I'm a member for about $15/year. I consider it worthwhile. Anyway, I got the one pictured below (proving it really works) for $1.83, free shipping. Hard to go wrong.

Good deal. I should probably pick up a spare..
Me too. I just wanted to make sure this one worked first, :D
You coulda bent the pins back. And if you have firewire - a firewire reader is bunches faster. With as many pics as I take, I'd still be downloading last years pics. However, that is a great price - good score!
Caney,
The pins were pretty smashed flat. The camera has a Firewire port but my computer doesn't seem to have one. The USB 2.0 high speed works pretty well.
I did a couple of shoots a while back. One of a friend's wedding and one of a company summer picnic. About 400-500 shots each. Had USB 1.1. It was agonizingly slow.
