Most cameras, at least until you get to the higher end DSLRs only support USB
1.1 speeds, even though you can plug them into a USB 2 connector.

With the FZ20 no exception. I use a USB 2.0 compliant card reader for image
transfers from my FZ20 card.

DP Review say: USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mbits/s)
However, the term "hi-speed" would describe what you are expecting.
Get a high-speed card reader, and be aware that you may need to install
hi-speed USB drivers as well.
Cheers,
