I am planning to buy a Memory card reader for my ExpressCard slot in my MBP. I'd like to now what brand you people are using and the fact you like the product or maybe wanted a different one instead.

Thus far I found these:

Belkin:

Sonnet:

Griffin:

Kensington:

MacAlly (Most expensive?):

It needs to read Sony Memory Stick and SD for now. I think I either prefer the Griffin or the Kensington. I live in The Netherlands so this can be a problem for for example the Sonnet which does not deliver to The Netherlands. Kensington does have a Dutch website so I suppose I have a good change there.

Thanks
 
Probably none. They're all more expensive than USB card readers and only use the USB component of the expresscard bus (which also supports PCI Express). I don't see any advantage to using expresscard readers for this purpose.

I use a Sandisk FW800 reader for CF cards, and a Sandisk MobileMate USB reader for SD and MiniSD cards. I don't have a memory stick requirement.
 
I know they are more expensive, but it saves a lot of hassle with extra devices, cables and whatnot. Especially when on the road since you can keep it inside of the machine too. So I really gonna buy one, dunno which one yet tho. The extra bucks are worth the money imo.
