1.) You can use a second card and download from the first while using 
the second in the camera.

2.) The card reader may be considerably faster transferring files than 
you camera.

to the USB (2.0) port.
     

The SanDisk cards seem very good. The Extreme ones are quite a bit
faster than the plain jane ones. Often Future Shop online has a deal
where you buy a card, they give you a free SanDisk USBII card reader.

I got a SanDIsk 512mb flash card. and a USB 2.0
SanDisk card reader, but it
was pointed out to me that I don't really need the
card reader - I can just 
use the cord that came with the camera to go
directly into a usb port on my
computer.  I haven't opened the SUB 2.0 Card
reader package yet - what is
the advantage, if any, of using that instead of
just pluggin into a port
directly?
