Summary: Essential? No. Pretty darn nice to have? Absolutely.
Review: When you get tired of using the 'default' method of transferring photos or MP3s from your digital camera or player to your computer, it's time to get this neat little peripheral. I have a Kodak DC4800 camera and pictures take FOREVER to transfer from my camera to my hard drive. Plus, I had to physically plug in my camera to the computer. No more.I picked up this nifty guy and it sits right on top of my monitor. It easily snapped in to my USB port and getting set up (installing the software) was a piece of cake. I've got Windows 98. Before I knew it, I was inserting my 128MB CompactFlash card, uploading my pictures, and emailing to friends and family. Deleting them from your CompactFlash card is so much easier and faster than doing it on your camera too. You can use Windows Explorer or My Computer to manipulate files from your CompactFlash card just as you normally would with your hard drive. All in all, it may not be essential, but it certainly wouldn't be a bad thing to have either.
