Does anyone use this reader to download there photos? Is it really worth the extra and does it only work with the IV series of cards?

Cheers for that. I'll have to read some more into them

So you used Extreme III and IV cards in your review? Just wondering as thats what I've got

Mark,

That was very useful. I was thinking of buying the firewire reader too. After seeing the difference there is not a lot in it really.

The USB Extreme reader was not available for a while but i did hear it was back on sale.

I will get some doffrent cards and update the review again soon.

Had one for a couple of years.

Works on all CF cards and is visibly faster than my USB readers.
