[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 6205, member: 1573"] Well, the writer claims he has no "official" source so I consider it just his opinion. And frankly, the whole business of knocking your camera off while it's connected and breaking off the usb connection is a pretty lame excuse for not using usb. I've used the usb transfer method since I started with nikon digitals (at least 12 years --time flies!) and never had a problem . . . even the usb connectors on printers have never broken off and I'm not as careful with them as I am with my cameras. I guess it's a matter of personal preference. Unless someone can offer me [B]technical proof[/B] that a card reader is better to use than the usb connection, I prefer to handle my cards as little as possible UNTIL the pics are transferred off the card. Besides that, I'd rather save my $$ to spend on another lens I'm craving . . . sigh Best Regards [/QUOTE]
