Title: Card Reader
Post by: Browne on March 13, 2009, 03:17:11 PM
Just bought this (http://i1.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/34/5d/8592_1_b.JPG)
item from an eBay shop,  I have an old Fuji camera with the USB connection (on the camera body) fubar'd, so I had trouble downloading the images to my PC. The camera uses the old xD Card and I found it difficult to find a Reader to take the card. This would seem to do the job + 91 other types as well. PRICE? £1.98 + £1.00 Postage Think I'll give up drinking, its way too expensive.

Agreed most of the small cables such as sata or ide cables including usb hubs and readers i buy from abroad which are usually miles cheaper than pcworld or jessops. I even got my fuji camera case for £5 including postage with the official fuji badge. Be careful as some ebay sellers are putting high postage prices on these items and ebay are trying to combat this by having recently introducing the new report an item feature.

I have the same card for my digital camera but luckily my all in one scanner has a card reader so until at least i buy a new camera i won't be needing a new reader :D.
