I've always used card readers, if I recall I tried to Xfer pics via
the camera once when I first got it (Canon digital rebel) it took
way to long. It might have been the pic bridge thing that took a long
time I can't really recall. I find it much simpler to just pop out
the compact flash card and pop it into a card reader. My father in
law has a kodak with that easy transfer software, what a pain in
the ass that is.
