Yes.
If your card reader is also a writer, you can drag and drop them onto an empty card, eject it, then "unplug or eject hardware" your card reader/writer and move it to the other computer. Plug it in while the computer is off, power up and put in the card and drag the files off of it.
Format the card in the camera before using it to store photos normally again.

I don't know if what you propose will work without a card reader/writer.
You might get away with this maneuver using just the camera on USB cables.


Good luck.

A portable hard drive is not a luxury it's a necessity for backing up and situations like the one you are in at the moment, and particularly if you want to earn income from your photography. That's my tuppence worth :/

I use my camera as a card reader all the time at work, and for more than just photographs.

Thanks Yall , i will give it a try

Pat , i normally back all my photos up on cd , but there are some that i didnt get to back up and the burner went out .

If you have a card reader; card reader plus CF Card = flash drive.
