When purchasing memory cards I sometimes have two options in a drop down box: reader or no reader. What's the difference? I have a Kodak Easyshare V550, which one should I choose?

The reader is a bit of extra hardware that lets you connect the memory card to the computer without the camera. I find that convenient, but you don't need it.
You can connect your Kodak to the computer with the memory card in the camera. Your Kodak came with a cable and software for that.

Normally any camera comes with a cable that allows you to hook it up to your computer through a usb port. This cable is useful and allows you to browse the pictures on the camera as though it were a flash drive. It is usually fine and all except in the situation of battery. Using this feature requires battery power to keep the camera and the camera's built in reader on. Buying the reader will allow you to take out the card put it in the reader and read it straight from your computer wihtout having to turn the camera on. The disadvantage is you pay for the reader and constant removal of the card and opening the drive door in the camera isnt the best idea. If you have rechargable batteries i recommend going with no reader

with a reader-for convinient data tranferring/ downloading. hook it up to your USB port and viola! transferring never been this easy!
cons: possible file corruption...
without a reader.. downloading directly from the USB device i.e. Digital camera.
cons: devices like digital cameras will need a lot of juice to operate when downloading, drains batteries too fast.

in case you employ uncooked or video plenty use classification 10. SDHC are fat 32 (try 32FAT and you'd be IN difficulty). bigger seem beautiful yet have their drawbacks for properly-known cameras. Mary
