You also save your expensive batteries as the camera is required to be powered on and us its power to transfer files over usb. I have done both but the batteries for my D3 and D7100 are much toooooo expensive :^(
YMMV but with my Fuji and Canon the USB link seems to be a battery-eater mode of operation. With the Fuji I have to start with a fully charged battery and I have to be prompt about the download. The card reader approach gives me more latitude and also doesn't need any special software. Not that I'm prejudiced against using gphotoFS or digicam or Darktable to download, per se, but the card is just another bulk storage, no different from plugging in a usb stick. -- HTML has followed nature's example... bright, sometimes flashing, colors are a sign of indigestiblility. -- Rob Hartill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
