May I heartily recommend the SanDisk available from most CAMERA shops. Unlike a camera it does not have anything to break if it ends up swinging from a USB and has four card slots that between them take most if not all cards from cameras which can then stay safely in their camera bags! I must confess my paw went down when the camera went up to £1500 and was balanced on the edge of a drawer because of the cable length supplied. All short USB's have now been hidden! Tigger
