THE SUPERB kINGSTON CARD READER, LIGHTWEIGHT WITH GREAT FEATURES.
It is quite smart and lights up when in use, so you know when you have left a card in the reader. It takes 4 different types of card including like SDHC/ SDXC/micro SDHC and micro SDXC. MS/ Duo, and CF. Very fast, easy to install and easy to use. Brilliant value for money.

Kingston CF Card Reader USB 3.0
I got this Kingston after the failure of the KwikBird CF Card reader. That worked brilliantly for a few months and then one day it just refused to work any more. Since the card still worked perfectly in my Nikon D3X, I concluded the KwikBird must have bent contact pins. This new Kingston reader was recommended by others on my Purpleport photography forums. Others say it is better manufactured and less likely get bent pins. It appears to work extremely well so far and I am pleased. However, it will take more time to determine if it is truly robust & whether or not it suffers from the bent pins problem of the KwikBird reader.

Excellent Card Reader
I bought this having done a fair bit of research on various alternatives. I am using it with both SD and CF cards plugged into a USB 3 port on my PC. I am very satisfied with the speeds on this and confirm that this card reader about as good as it gets. I like the fact that it comes with a decent length of cable and that the multipin CF slot seems quite robust and positive so there is no risk of bending the pins unlike cheaper models. It is not too expensive so I rate it as good value.

Decent quality reader
Occasionally doesn't recognise my CF cards so I have to take out and re-insert but then it works. Otherwise a well built, fast reader that I am happy with after a few months. Previously bought one of the cheap ones which broke within days (bent pins). Glad to spend a bit extra for this quality. Also a decent length on the cable which was important for me.

Useful cable
One major advantage of this product is the useful length of usb3 cable that comes with it. This allows permanent connection to a machine that is not within easy access. Also, the red kingston logo lights up upon card recognition.

USB-3
Had my previous USB 2 card reader for 15 years, new laptop had a USB 3 port and as my camera now takes pictures which are around 10MB each I needed something faster. Went for a good name and haven't been disappointed.
