I use wifi. USB card readers are common and not all that expensive. I
used one for the card in my Canon camera back in the dark ages.
You can of course buy an extra adapter, but that kind of misses the point. >>
They're not really "common". Out of all the various people and small
businesses I help out, over the last 30+ years, *none* of them have
ever used an SD card or card reader, not even on their cameras (other
than the original it may have come with). :-)
I bought my first digital camera in 1999. People had them years
previously. How did they transfer files if not by a separate card
reader? Computers did not commonly have card slots and cameras did not
have wifi/USB capability. At least mine didn't.
As below, you plug the camera into the computer using a data cable. The
port and cable would have varied before being standardised to USB -
Apple's QuickTake cameras, for example, used the serial port on Windows
PCs and the printer or modem on Apple Macs.
The original digital cameras didn't even have SD cards in them either.
The Apple QuickTake was released in 1994. SD cards were first used (for
digital cameras anyway) in 1999. The QuickTake could store *8* "max
res" (640x480) photos or 32 "low res" (320x240) photos, then you had to transfer them to a computer. Other early makes would have similar
restrictions.
Our own old Canon digital camera still has the original SD card it came
with in it and has never been removed either. It was far easier to plug
the camera into the computer with the cable.
