And the reader gets plugged into the computer....
What, is the external reader a filter?????
A card reader in the computer is the same kind of reader in an external.
The only difference is one is fixed in a large box and the other in a small portable box.
Same guts....

My old MacBookPro had a SD slot, my middle MacBookPro did not, I was unhappy with that every time I downloaded pics. My newest MacBookPro has the SD slot. People complained, Apple listened. Now you have a reason to buy another Mac. ;)
This is the newest one just our son in law bought it for Christmas lol

Why would anyone use a card reader when there are more direct ways to load photos onto a computer, like using a USB cable?

Why argue about something like this? It is just a matter of which one you prefer. Both ways give you the same thing.

I think the OP wanted to get opinions, and he certainly did. That's what this site is all about.

Personal preference, that's all......
One can walk two blocks over and three blocks up,
or one can walk three blocks up and two blocks over,
which is the best way or "right"?
And people will argue over it.....

I prefer a usb cable. I don't like pulling my cards in and out all the time.

Not all readers are made the same. I have on that Plugs into a 15' long TeatherTools cable, ment for teathering a camera, and it never fails can't same the same thing for one that plugs in with no cable.

Maybe, but the way he asked made it sound like not plugging into the camera was an inferior option.
