Called a RocketFish. Faster than fast.
One issue I'm having with it, and I don't know if it is an issue with the card reader, or with Windows 7 (64-bit), but Windows will initially find it. I can download from it. But if I go back after initially downloading from it, it says I need to insert the media into the reader again. It's weird.
Anway, other than that little issue, I highly recommend this reader. It works with Compactflash, and SD and MicroSD and SDHC cards. I picked it up today from Best Buy for $35, I found a 15% off coupon good for yesterday through the 25th.
Mike.

I don't honestly know David. My old card reader died, and I got tired of waiting for pictures to download when connected directly to the camera. So I did a bit of research and found this one at a decent price.
We'll see how it works. My main machine is running Windows 7 64bit now, and my wife's machine runs Vista 32, so I'll do some tests on both to see if the re-insertion issues still continue.
Mike.

It seems to be an issue in Windows 7 and XP Pro. Haven't had time to try Vista, but I would imagine it is an issue there as well if it happens on XP *and* Windows 7.
Oh well. it's a small price to pay for the speed of the reader, at least in my case.
Mike.

Rick - Glad it works well for you. I've still had re-insertion issues in XP and Windows 7, but other than that, it works quite well for me too.
Mike.
