Default Fast CF card reader?
Since I upgraded my camera the download process has become painfully slow...
Currently I'm using a USB 2 multi card reader but enough is enough, there must be something faster.

I've seen that there are some firewire connected readers around but are they worth the price-tag?

Are there any other options?

How are you pros doing it?

Any suggestions more than welcome!

I'm using a Lexar firewire connected to firewire 800 and it's fast with UDMA cards.

Maybe a better USB reader like the Sandisk would be faster, too.
