I would like to know how you transfer your pictures from your camera to your computer, USB 1.1 card reader, USB 2.0 card reader, Firewire card reader, PCMCIA card adaptor, plug camera to computer, or other method (Wi-fi?)
How long does it usually take to unload a full card of pictures?
Which do you think is the fastest method?

I used to plug my camera in but find the card reader more convenient now. It can take quite a while to unload a 256 meg card. I even installed a usb 2 card and things can still be slow. I wish I had a faster way.
Sit, stay, ok, hold it! Awww, no drooling! :O

Hey no fair, I wanted to tick two boxes! I use a USB2 card reader and a PCMCIA reader, the PCMCIA gets the most use though and at only $11 on E-Bay I am rather happy with it. A 512mb card takes around 6 minutes to copy off.
The main reason I have the other reader is in case one gets misplaced or damaged, I couldn't handle going back to using the cable. Thankfully Canon has made the wise choice to use USB2 on the 20D.

I used to use a plug-in USB 1.1 adapter, but now my printer has a USB 2 card reader in it (and is always hooked up) - so it is a non-brainer.
USB 2 is MUCH faster than 1.1 - but its still like watching paint dry to download my 1 GB CF card.
