On the other hand, is “very good and fast” an external device for memory cards, designed for connection to a USB port. With their help, you can work with cards of other formats, not just SD.

“For a number of reasons. First, it is quite cumbersome slot, and this card is half sticking out of it. Second, now on the market there are a large number of card readers with the USB connection. You can also use CompactFlash. We put the SD on a Mac, because most consumer cameras use SD. But it was a compromise. Right now, many cameras are moving to wireless technologies of data transmission. We believe this is a step forward, because you can use wireless transfer, but if you need to connect the adapter,” said Schiller.
