What is the best USB flashcard reader...or is there a difference?

[John]

Guys, I am fixing to buy the Canon Powershot S10 2.1 mega pixel Digital Camera from buy.com, and a 64MB Kingston flashcard...but I need a reader. The Kingston USB reader is backordered. Is there a difference or a "better" flashcard reader that works in Win2K?

I see a Sandisk one for 42.00 and it looks like it should do the job. Any thoughts?

May as well get a duallie that reads both SmartMedia and CompactFlash. I have a Microtech CameraMate USB and it works under W9x and W2K. I suppose as long as it has the drivers and reads the format(s) you use and takes the power from the USB cable there is not much difference.

Thanks, I opted for the Sandisk one and it has drivers for Win2K. I am looking forward to my new toys !

The Sandisk unit works well. I have one at work, and am thinking of purchasing one for myself at home.
