Fastest UDMA card reader for Pro Photographers


Just a quick post about the Lexar UDMA card reader for professional photographers out there.  If you're using a camera like my EOS 5D Mark II , no doubt you've invested in good quality fast UDMA compact flash cards too.  Trouble is your normal USB2 CF card reader will not be extracting your photos from these cards at the best speed.  If you shoot hundreds of pictures just getting them into your computer to edit can waste a far chunk of time. If you pick up one of these readers from Lexar - you can transfer a full resolution RAW 5D2 file in a little over 1 second.  In other words you can copy over a full 8GB card in under 5mins compared to around 15mins over normal USB2.  A good investment.
