I thought the issue was he was worried about something going from the computer to the card, and he thought the flash card reader would protect against that?
The person who told him that did believe it, erroneously........
The card reader would protect it.
What does he think is in the computer box?
A reader is a reader, in a big box or a little box.
NO protective interface.
In either.

What % of people drive a stick shift excluding truckers?
Some did that and soon realized brake pads are cheaper then clutches and trannies

SMH...you guys. Haha, I grew up with my dad teaching me how to use a stick...and all the things that go along with it, including smooth downshifting and getting rpms right, even to the point of not using the clutch. As a young driver my crowd all had fast cars and knew how to work on 'em...as an older driver loving sports cars it was the most natural thing to downshift, and *it* didn't burn the motor or tranny up at all, because I knew how to do it. I road bikes for 25-odd years and that was as natural as could be also, and if the guy behind me couldn't tell I was changing gears he was deaf! LOL...to each, I'm fully automatic now and have no desire to go back, but if I was in the seat and had a clutch pedal and a stick, it'd be easy as pie (or cake!).

Shifting at the right speed(s) is not hard on the engine or transmission. PUSHING it is!
I got so good with the stick in my first manual car ('73 Opel Manta Rally) I could shift from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4 without the clutch. No grinding, no jumping, no problem. Syncromesh and a good ear. Even down shifting. I did need the clutch to get into first though...
I do miss that car. Such fun.

I like a card reader. I can keep various shoots on the card until I know I am done processing them, and like how easy it is to stick the card into the reader and into my machine. I think you're suggesting that cameras do away with cards requiring cabling in after each shoot? Aaaaargh!

I suggested that a while back. It would enable a more reliable design and would probably be something we see in the future. The visceral reaction to that post was a good indication that the concept of no removable card was well beyond the understanding of the readers here....

Hold on. A Removable cards is the only way to fly. I still do several shoots every day, and I'm in my eighties, sometimes up to seven and I remove the card after every shoot and install a new Reformatted one. This system has worked for me for over twenty years and it leads to good organization. I have never lost a card and sometimes my assistants download two copies of each card in the field and return them to my System till we get back to the studio where when everything is verified and a third copy is copied do the cards get erased and reformatted. If you shoot once a week or once a month you can wish for Non-removable cards but if your a professional or serious amateur the only way to fly is with removable cards. But that's me. Cheers.
