Does this card reader work well for importing RAW files directly into Lightroom?

I use Photoshop 5.5 and its works great with my Canon raw files. I might buy a second one for a backup card reader.

I don't quite understand your question. Are you talking about using an external card reader to transfer camera images to a laptop or desktop computer? An external card reader might be faster or might not. Most computers now have card readers built in, which simplifies things.

Yes with regard to first-gen USB, but this reader (Delkin All-In-One Universal Card Reader) only connects via a mini-USB port (so you'd need to have a mini-USB to USB cable to use it).

I have been using a SanDisk card reader for all my different brand cards for several years now. I have not had any issues to date with either the Scandisk or Lexar cards.

Yes, be careful with the cheap card readers from China. I had one that corrupted image files during the read or import of the images and they were unrecoverable. I threw it away of course, but I just wanted to agree that it does happen.

It is specifically set up to "read" business cards - I personally don't think you would be happy with the image. I would just buy a desktop scanner that you can set to specific sizes to capture your playing cards as jpeg files.

Not sure about the Micro SDHC part, but this card reader will work in Windows.

The card readers are all USB 2.0. Running a benchmark on a Class 10 SD yielded typical transfer rates of 30-35 MB/s.

Hi Bob, I want to know that answer also as I'm interested in using the Zen Vision as a photo bank for my Nikon DSLR's. I went to the Creative webpage and couldn't find anything about RAW file compatability, so I left an email asking the question if the Zen would diplay a RAW file or not. I'll let you know what they say if I get a reply. Steve Smith stephen.smith.ctr@diego.af.mil

It works great for RAW file photos. I've used it many times for video and photos on my Nikon D5200 and Friends 5D Mark iii.

Absolutely!! I have used Lexar, SanDisk, Transcend and even an old reader card from a Toshiba memory card. Just be sure you have a little room around your USB ports. The square design sometimes doesn't quite fit into the easy to access ports. In this case I had to switch USB ports with one from the back of my computer. No big problem and depending on the the specifications of your computer (like SP2 or SP3), the speed in which the card is read might vary. I hope this helps you. It's a Good product for storage or transferring data, music and photos... art

This reader will only work with SDHC cards and below, which usually means 32GB is okay, but 64GB cards are XHC and won't work in this reader.

Looks like Adobe just released an update that now lets you take care of the RAW conversion without having to go via the Sony converter.http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2014/06/20/adobe-lightroom-camera-raw-dng-converter-updates-support-12-new-cameras

I have it running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, however, the program is installed as a 32-bit program. I'll be honest, it sometimes is a little squirrelly, but works as well as any other card reader I've used.

It would be pretty slow compared to an internal hard drive. You could probably make it work alright if you keep the Lightroom catalog on a faster internal drive, and only used the USB drive to store image files.

Of course. RAW files are just files after all and this is basically just a hard drive with software that transfers files from a memory card to the hard drive.

I verified this 12-in-1 reader. I formatted the 32gb SanDisk CF Card Extreme III in my old 5D Canon, shot a couple pictures, installed it in the reader and my Power Book recognized it just fine.
