Summary: Does the job, must have for some DigiCams
Review: I originally bought mine after I have lost the USB cable for my Canon s20 camera (about a year ago). It was a very pleasent surprise to find out that it not only does the job (of copying images from the camera to the hard disk), it also makes copying (a.k.a "capturing") the digital images from the camera to the PC a lot more convenient and quicker than it used to be with the original camera USB cable and software. With Canon's software you are bound to use image processing driver (it could have been a TWAIN driver - I am not sure by now), and, at least I, was unable to do batch copy of the whole 32MB of my CF card into the PC.The Lexar media driver maps the digital film reader to a regular disk drive, then, all you have to do is, open two windows explorer windows, select the image files on the CF card (after removing the card from the camera and loading it into the reader, of course), drag them into the destination folder on your hard drive, and, voila ! you're done - now you can safely return the CF card into the camera. Copying 32MB worth of digital images from CF to the hard drive takes about 20 seconds ... Even though I got a new USB cable for the camera by now - I have not found myself using it anymore. [What I paid] was worth every cent. (-) Gripe: when I bought the unit, the software driver was not included in the box. although it did not take too long to find and download one, I still think Lexar media should have gone the extra $1 and include a CD in the box.

Summary: JUNK-SAVE YOUR MONEY!
Review: I purchased this reader in hopes of reading my CompactFlash cards. I installed it and was able to read the card, however my computer would not restart. "kebugcheckex...System Halted" is not a good thing. After using Lexar's live support system I decided to download a new driver. Unfortunately the system was halted again. Another round with their unknowledgeable live support didn't solve the problem. Their solution is always the driver. However, when the driver is at fault, there's really not much you can do except return the item. I purchased a SanDisk ImageMate and love it. No problems, no lockups, and no conflicts. It works flawlessly.

Summary: Can not read Smart Media
Review: Recently, I Purchased a Lexar Digital Film Reader Model # GS-UFD-20SA-TP........ RW007-001. I had a conversation with Lexar Technical Support about my readers inability to read Smart Media Digital Film Cards and Crash my PC. This conversation resulted in the following E-mail from him to me.
This solution did not work -- even after trying muliple times and returning the Digital Film Reader for another one and trying again. Since then I have replyed with two e-mail asking for help -- see below. There has not been a reply for 3 weeks.

Review: This is an aweful card reader. I am using it on a Windows ME system and NONE of the images transfer correctly. They are all disstorted. I tryed first with a Smartmedia card for my ipaq. That didn't work. Then, i tryed it with a compactflash card from my Nikon camera, and the same thing happend. I returned it right away. Save your money for something useful. There are plenty of other ones out there that are much better.

Summary: 128MB Smart Media users beware
Review: This reader was easy to set up and worked GREAT with my 32MB Smart Media card. I recently bought a 128MB Smart Media card and my computer (800 MHz P3 with Windows 98SE) crashes every time I try to read this card. I called Lexar tech support, and they said it only works up to 32MB Smart Media cards. I downloaded the updated driver from the website, and now it works intermittently. Typically, it crashes my computer, I hard reboot, it may or may not crash a second time, then it reads the card. So eventually it works, and I have never lost any picture files, but I am going to buy a dedicated Smart Media reader to avoid these problems.
