What is a USB Cradle?
This is a similar type of device as a card reader (see above) but also has additional benefits. It is again a small device which you permanently leave connected by the side of your computer in to a spare USB port. The cradle has sockets that plug directly into your camera when you place it on the top. You will then be able to download your images on to your computer by clicking on the download button (this varies according to which cradle/dock you have but often it is just a one touch button on the cradle itself). USB Cradles often also charge your camera’s batteries at the same time, or at any time it is left in the Cradle. This makes it as simple as possible to both download your images and recharge the camera’s batteries. USB Cradles aren’t available for all cameras, but it is becoming a more popular feature that many Casio, Kodak and Fuji Cameras offer, as well as particular Nikon and Sony models. Some cradles are supplied as part of the camera’s standard accessories but others are
