USB card readers
A while ago I needed a USB MemoryStick card reader and I had found this nice series by Sanwa Supply.
Now a few days ago my digital camera's port died (the connector has fallen inside the camera! and even when succeeding to plug the cable into it, nothing happens) and I then needed a SD card reader, so I went and bought another one of the same series.
Pretty much the cheapest on the market (about ¥1000 each), the ADR-xxUL series are also quite small and the USB plug folds in so that it's really compact when not in use (6cm2 x 1cm).
Great stuff!

I bought the very same model back in January in Japan for 1800Y .. so far it has worked great .. not only is the usb plug foldable .. but you can also detach it .. which is good if you block a second USB port with it ..

That's right! I didn't have that problem though so I didn't try detaching it on mine. :)
I think I had paid more for my MemoryStick reader a while back, but now at Sakuraya they were about ¥1000-1100.

What Camera was it? Just curious in case I have the same one I have to be careful about the USB port.

It's a 2-2½ year old Minolta DiMAGE Xi. Not a bad camera nevertheless, which is why I opted for a card reader instead of just getting a new one.
