Not really Peter, it is just preference / habit I guess.
I have always used a card reader either in the computer or external since I switched from film to digital many years ago.( remember the micro HDs before memory cards?)
The other thing I looked at when I changed to Apple Mac was the fact that the USB cable with the camera was the "old" type ( slower transfer) and the adapter was more than getting a high speed reader.
Horses for courses I suppose, we all have our preferred ways of doing things, that's what makes for variety in life and photography.
Thanks for the observation Peter.
Charles.
