Probably not cheap. Best option would be a card reader which costs around $10.

I think your talking about the CF adapter that goes into the PC slot? That is all I use especially since I think Sergio does all his editing on a laptop

I am the same way. All laptop thanks to card slot built into it. Not really sure as I am not a huge computer guy

I was thinking a USB card reader. Probably a little slower than the slot version but easier to set up, just plug and play. And still faster than camera-USB connection.

Thats good advice, but I spoke to Nick V a little while ago, my laptop does have a card slot on the side but my CF card wont fit..

You have to go buy the adapter, its cheap.

It looks like the only way to fix it would be to solder a new mini USB connector to the camera's circuit board which is just too risky.

Here are some CF card readers from Newegg.com: (which is one of the best electronic online retailers.)

Internal reader for laptops (excluding older laptops and newer macbooks) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839158023&cm_re=cf_card_reader-_-39-158-023-_-Product)

Internal 3.5" card reader (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820223113&cm_re=cf_card_reader-_-20-223-113-_-Product)

I never use the USB connector. I have always used a card reader. You can find a small card reader almost anywhere. There are computer shows most weekends that have them.

The card reader is MUCH faster that usb...I use both, usb when I am not in a rush and card reader when I need to go Go GO!!!

Hey Sergio,

Here's the card reader that I bought after my old one bit the dust:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00109 ... B00109Y2DQ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00109Y2DQ?ie=UTF8&tag=787-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00109Y2DQ)

A big name brand, and you can't go wrong for $11 shipped.
