Michael Reichmann over at Luminous Landscape has taken a brief look at the best ways of transferring your photos from memory card to computer. Michael highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using PC card readers, Firewire and USB 2.

“Anyone shooting with a digital camera faces the issue of transferring the content of their memory cards to their computer, (usually CompactFlash for those with pro-level cameras).

There are three ways of doing this. If you have a laptop computer then the card can be inserted in to a PC Card adaptor and placed in that slot. Desktop as well as laptop computers may have either Firewire or USB 2 connectors, or both, and there are card readers available for both types of interfaces.”
