Alternative to Camera Cord
Here’s a little something I have added to my camera case: A usb memory card reader! It’s the size of a little thumb drive. One end plugs into the USB port of my computer, and the other is a slot for my camera’s memory card. The computer reads the card as if it were any other disk.
I have mentioned memory card readers before, but this is one I specifically carry around for loading my images to OTHER people’s computers! That’s right… when we visit family and friends and there are lots of pictures being taken, someone always says, “OH! Let me have a copy of that!”
This is also a great alternative to using your camera cord! If you have lost your camera cord, this would be a very inexpensive alternative to getting a new cord… at least initially… I suspect these can burn out pretty quickly.
Here are some memory card readers on Amazon.com
BEFORE YOU BUY: Be sure that the reader fits YOUR SIZE memory card. If you aren’t sure of what kind of memory card you have, take it out of the camera and look at the writing. They all have the type of card printed directly on them. If it has rubbed off, look up your camera online and see what kind of memory card it reads.
