Reliable Card Reader?

Recommended Posts

We are all going to card based media. So, what is everyone using as card readers and how often are you having to replace the card readers?

We have been going through about a card reader every 2 weekends and I think there are better readers out there.

What brands and models are you having luck with? Please also include number of uses.

My DZ gets about 150 uses out of the card readers they use. I'll try to get the brand and model this weekend to post here. So, everyone can avoid that one.

Have a couple Hyundai's that work well, have everything in them.
Have a few Dynex' that work great too.
Kensingtons seem to have a lot of problems, at least in my house.
The Targus' also seem to have a lot of problems (in my experience).
Sonys....don't go near em', IMO.

I bought one of these on a whim in a Wal-Mart 4 years ago, the night after first jumping my SLR.

Still works fine after 4 years of being in my camera bag and being used often. Of course, that's just me, not an entire DZ.

I also have one of these in my tower:

It works fine, but the CF slot tolerance is pretty poor... you have to look very closely when you insert the card, or the pins won't line up.
