    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..

    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.)

    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

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