[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 806456, member: 48483"] If your only reason to connect your laptop to the camera is to transfer the photos, then I agree that the best way to do that is to forget the cable and use a SD card reader. Laptop PC's normally have a SD card reader already built-in to the the hardware these days. At least the last 3 laptops I have bought did. Now if you are doing tethered photography and you must control the camera from the PC, then yes that is an issue. My last 2 laptops have been from Lenovo, and I have used a USB cable and DigiCamControl to control a D7000, D750, and a Z5 with both. Actually the current Lenovo can control the Z5 with bluetooth, WiFi, and by the USB. But I never bother transferring photos that way, I just eject the SD from the camera and insert to the card reader of the computer. [/QUOTE]
