Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / General Topics / August 2008A better way to transfer my images?
When I have several hundred images on my memory card (in my camera) it takes quite some time and may place a burden on my battery when I transfer all these images to my hard drive. Is there a better way of doing this?

Hi, 1) Do not transfer images from your camera to another device. If your camera battery gets low, then you can lose all your images.It is also very slow. 2)Buy a card reader that takes your type of memory card, and fits into your computer's input device, e.g. USB2. Card readers are cheap, about $10.- to 20.-. It's the way to go. Good luck. Morton > 1) Do not transfer images from your camera to another device.

If I transfer USB to the computer it is faster than the card reader on the computers (two different XP machines). Perhaps better card readers are available... I don't have a card reader for the Mac, so it is always USB. I do have an AC adaptor for the camera, but usually the batts have enough charge. I have often opined that the USB should provide the power to read the in camera CF (or other card) as the rest of the camera is not needed. Surely this could be implemented if the camera makers put on their thinking hats. Beter yet, WiFi it over.

What type of memory card? Universal readers are pretty cheap and quite fast. Thank you, all. I did not know anything about card readers. Just an amateur. Will buy one tomorrow.

A lot of printers have card inputs for direct printing and generally if you put the card in the printer, your computer will see the card on the printer as an external device. In other words, those printers work as a card reader without your having to buy a standalone card reader and take up another USB port. SignatureMichael Hey, Michael, that's great. My USB printer has a card reader and is always on.

Pretty slow on my Epson. Works. Just not quick.
