Downloading images

Can anyone recommend a card reader which will enable me to download images from the mini 2 to my laptop?

Kingston FCR-HS4 it has the weird double pronged USB connector but comes with the necessary cable, or-* mine did lol
it has slots for micro SD, SD and CF = some other thing I don't have.
I bought a Hama at the same time but it gave up the ghost a long time ago.

I also use a USB plug card reader as shown in the attached

Finding a good one is not so easy, as i have tried many.

The best one i have found is made by Platinum . What makes it it the best reader for the cards is an audible click and light letting me know the card is secure . Others you just push the card in and than you have to check if you pushed in the card enough by waiting on the computer. its just not as nice.

The click and light is worth the extra cost of the reader ,
The one on the bottom does not have that and is push only and because of that you have a tendency to push the card in to far.

Go to ebay or similar and get a simple SD card USB adapter like this.

Make sure you get USB3 with the blue inside the connector.
They cost peanuts so buy a couple to have a spare.

Most laptops have a port for reading cards. You may need to buy an adapter but they usually the micro SD cards come with them. You can also buy various adapters that fit phones etc. from Amazon. Just do a search and you'll be amazed as to what is available.
