Thanks folks! Yes it's beginning to look like a card reader is going to be my best bet. Danob I'm in the UK too, any particular models you'd recommend? If you have any special recommendations for cheap reliable suppliers I'd be grateful too, I got the camera from Amazon (at a huge discount! :o) I think there must be a new model coming out) but I'm in the market for XD cards. The camera comes with a 16mb xd card which will hold 1 RAW file! Thanks for your help! - Baz
