this is a nice little device. Insert your memory card into the reader and then your computers USB port. That's it, there's not much more to it than that. For years I was pluging my cameras into the PC to move my photos from the cameras memory card to my PC. Of course, needlessly using your cameras battery life. With this reader, you no longer have to deal with the cables or wasting your cameras battery. I always take mine with me on vacation. It's so convienent. I strongly recammend it to anyone with a digital camera.

I was looking for a replacement cord for my camera and ran across this product. I was hesitant to purchase, but now understand all the favorable reviews. This is the easiest way to download pictures to your computer. Highly recommend to everyone.

I bought this card reader to replace a Fuji XD reader that I gave my daughter. The Fuji is better in a number of ways. First of all, the Fuji has provision for attaching a lanyard, and secondly the Fuji has a sliding cover for the slot where the card goes in.

The Olympus seems to function OK, so no complaints in that regard.
