After I bought my Nikon D40x digital SLR camera, I decided to upgrade my existing memory card, a 1GB SD memory card, to a 4GB SDHC memory card. However, I didn’t do a lot of reading on terms of compatibility, so imagine my surprise when my existing media card readers on my desktop and laptop refused to read the SDHC memory card.

I had been making do with connecting my camera directly to my computer and laptop with the use of the USB cable, but I really wanted to be able to plug the SDHC memory card in directly. So while I was out two weeks ago, I picked up a Digital Concepts SD Card Reader. I paid less than $10, and while the construction of the card reader itself is a little chinsy feeling, and the little cover that snaps over the end of the inserted card broke off after just three uses, the card reader works flawlessly. If you want a cheap, bare bones and functional card reader, I definitely recommend the Digital Concepts SD Card Reader.
