If you use a digital camera with added memory, this is what you need from the beginning. It works like it is supposed to right out of the package/box but I am dismayed with what seems like a few very flimsy components--lightweight plastic.

I have a Sony Clie (memory stick) and a Minolta Dimage camera (secure digital). With this little buddy I can transfer files from both devices faster and save battery, and can even use the cards and the Lexar Jumpdrive trio as a USB memory when not in use in the camera or the clie. I think it's probably one of the best buys I have ever done. Only cons: cap is off so easily and plastic feels a little fragile.

I love using this drive due to it's upgradeability, but the cap comes off very easily. I recently lost the cap. If Lexar made a version with stronger plastic and a cap that is more secure, then the card would get five stars.

I love this little tool! It is so fast to transfer data from one computer to another with no wasting of disks or CD burning time. The biggest plus is tranferring pictures from my camera to someone else's computer - instantly! I'm getting one for all my adult children for Christmas! And I'm getting a new one for ME - I left it in a hotel room on vacation, and I have been MISERABLE without it. A good buy!

This drive operates with USB 2.0 which means it's probably faster than your camera. USB 2.0 is 40 times faster than USB 1.1! When I have a full memory card I will slap it into the Lexar Media Jumpdrive and plug it into my computer to download my pictures even faster. This device also comes in handy as a second docking station for at work or a friends house.
