Does anyone know of a CF to MicroSD adapter – i.e. one that would let you read CF cards via the MicroSD slot? I don’t want to use the MicroSD-in-a-SD-in-a-CF-adapter method, and prefer to continue to shoot on real CF cards, but would obviously need a way to read them. Real shame it doesn’t have USB host support…

Using the USB port for anything other that connecting to a computer requires USB host support I`m afraid What you need to do is shoot on MicroSD cards, then use an adapter to fit the MicroCards in your camera:

Thanks for your response. I suspected as much – what about a CF reader with a USB->USB mini adaptor? Do such things exist?

Thanks

I`m afraid the phone has to specifically support USB host mode, and the Loox T830 reviewed in the post above is the only phone that does.

Hi,

Am considering this phone – will it see my 5D/30D using USB->USB mini cable?
