Downloading pictures -use card reader or d/l straight from camera?

[Kung Lau]

I've been having bad luck with two no name brand card readers importing my 8gig panasonic sd card and 16g adata card. But the mini usb cable to camera works well but I don't want to wear out that fragile rubber cover on left side of my T1i by opening/closing.

Any recommendations on card readers and/or alternatives?

Get a Sandisk reader...it's only $10 or so

Always a reader. No need to wear down the battery of the cam.
