Summary: Awesome little thing!!
Comment: This card reader is the handiest little gadget I have ever bought for reading and transferring files to a variety of different memory cards. I would buy it again, that's for sure.

Summary: De-bunking some of the earlier reviews
Comment: The Kingston Card Reader is a good product. Some of the earlier reviews mentioned that the reader does not recognize cards grater than 4GB. That's not true, I am currently using a 6GB and two 8-GB CF Cards in my Canon 50D and my Canon 40D Cameras and they work/read perfectly in this card reader.
I do plug my card reader into a USB Hub that has it's own power source and if I swap-out a card with a different card, I have to un-plug the reader from the hub to get it to read the new card -- but it does read all my cards just fine.
Lastly, if you push down on the toggle on top of the unit and slide it forward, you can avoid the pliers as mentioned by one other reviewer.

Summary: convenient
Comment: Works good! I like the fact that I can put in the card from my camera (compact flash), My wifes camera (SD), My phone (Micro SD), etc. I have a CF reader that is faster, but not as versatile.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Versatile and well-designed
Comment: I've used this with SD and CF cards, and it performs as expected. I bought a second one to keep in my office. Things I like: 1. Price. 2. Pigtail USB connector built in and extension cable included. 3. Reader retracts into its case, so connector can be tucked away and any card left in the slot is protected. Handy when transporting with a card.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Very fast, good value, 19-in-1.
Comment: Tried it yesterday for the first time. I suppose the opening slides into the case to protect slots, but maybe not needed. Cord very short but comes with an extension. I am VERY impressed with how FAST this works. Red light on the top lights when in use, not explained in info card. Drivers not needed but for detail are available on-line. Well built.
