P2 Universal Card reader
Posted by George Orallo on April 10, 2012 at 5:50 pmI’m looking to purchase a card reader to offload my Panasonic P2 cards. But can anyone suggest a reader that will read my P2 cards as well as other card format?

April 10, 2012 at 5:58 pmThe Sonnet Qio is multi format card reader. It connects via express 34 or PCIe only.
P2 only options:
Least expensive option is your P2 Camera.
Next option is the PCD2 single USB P2 card reader.If you are looking for speed, there are more expensive options
PCD20 FW800 or PCD35 Epress34/PCIeSteve Eisen

April 10, 2012 at 6:51 pmCool thanks but I think we’re leaning toward the Multi-format.

The average offload speed for P2 on the Qio is 25MB/s
