Not looking for one with a long cord, the smaller the better.

Thanks

it's like under 10 bucks

Those tend to take longer to transfer images than a USB, but thanks for the suggestion.

Not too sure how big your CF is.

I use a 512mb and they're fairly quick.

Not to mention you can jsut leave it plugged into your computer without it behing a hiderance.

Off the top of my mind, Kingston is one of the only to offer a true highspeed flash reader. Dazzle is also excelant and I can recomend them, their performance is tops. Dazzle was bought out late last year, but some of their last production can still be found for sale on line.

PCMCIA -High Speed for Generation 3 flash modules. But do not expect to see extreme speed through the PCMCIA slot, it is slow compaired to usb.

1394 Readers are the best. Lexar makes one but i am sure that you can find it for less.
