52 in 1 is soooo missleading, it counts CF 1, CF2, microdrive, etc...as 3 different cards, when they're all really CF cards....so in reality they're all like 4 in one card readers.

Exactly. This kind of feature advertising is misleading.

However, it is good that the micro/mini cards doesn't need any adapters.

^^ ..............so it does actually read 52types then? ......YES
#3.1 SirEvan on 24 Feb 2009 - 17:51
not really. it reads...what, 4 types?

CF
Memory Stick
XD
SD

I might have forgotten a standard, but those are the main 4.

a CF card is the same TYPE as a Microdrive, which is the same type as a CF-UDMA card, which is the same type as a CF type 1 card.....etc see where this is going?

There are only 4 types or so of cards. Any reader that can read a CF card can read any CF Card. So it's still missleading.

The ONLY benefit I see to this is the read/write speeds which are pretty impressive.

Yes, but does it blend?
