Digital camera reviews of Kingston 19-in-1 USB 2.0 Flash Memory Card Reader FCR-HS219/1
Digital camera Review: Be Careful - Test the Fit of Your Memory Cards Before Opening Package
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this product because my previous card reader, which I used to download images from my digital camera, failed suddenly. I was impressed by the 19-in-1 capability and price. The Kingston arrived. I unpacked the reader, requiring me to slit the hard plastic package. I plugged in the device, took my camera's memory card in hand, and - the card doesn't fit any of the slots! Slots are either too big or too small.
Company send a cheery email thanking me for purchasing the Kingston. I replied the device did not fit my memory card. Support sent email advising me to contact company for return and refund information. I did so, filling out the online form. Company replied that because I had opened the package, a refund was not possible. Company has not revealed how I was to test the fit of my memory card without opening the package. :-(
Digital camera Review: Fast Reader
Summary: 5 Stars
i can only speak for using the SDHC feature of this reader. it is quick. the build is not extraordinary but it shouldn't be tossed around just like your memory cards so that's forgivable. it is very quick as a reader for SDHC i saw tests on it and i believe it was rated at 20MB/sec. speed was a variable for me on buying a reader and so was money. this is a great bang for the buck if you are using it for SDHC memory cards!! btw i use sandisk extremes to be able to maximize the speed of this readerDigital camera Review: Works great!

So far I've only used a couple of it's features, but it works perfectly, so no complaints here!Digital camera Review: Is it compatable?
Summary: 3 Stars
For reasons that I cannot comprehend, I could not get this card reader to work with my office computer. When I took it home, it worked fine. That defeats my purpose to be able to use it both places. Now I will have to purchase a different one for the office.Digital camera Review: I Needed This Reader
Summary: 4 Stars
I was leaving my camera on and draining its battery when downloading pictures, so I really needed a card reader. This reader is fast and works well with no problems for CF and SD cards, which is what I use. The product description neglects to mention that it has a red LED to show USB access.
