1. It's easier to find a card reader that supports Win98SE than a new camera that
does. This is not to say that every card reader out there has a 98SE driver, but
a good number that I see on the shelves still do (you do need to check the
box or mfr's website before you buy it!). I have two 3½" front bay readers
and a 4-card external reader that all work fine with Maximus Decim's Generic USB
driver, (and should work fine on the Cruzer95 driver as well), but they all have
98SE drivers on supplied driver CD's as well.
2. Erase your pictures without wasting the camera battery charge.
3. Read from a card from someone else's camera.
4. Faster transfer speeds of pictures to the hard drive.
5. Easier to use memory cards for other purposes (music players, cell phones, PDA's)
and you can access the cards even if your camera 'dies' (not to mention be able to
use your old memory cards for general file transfer purposes, if you buy a new camera
that uses a different type of card.
6. All that for less than $20 for each reader!
