That's what I do too.  The card filesystem layout is standardised, so good 
photo management software will handle this just as well as connecting the 
camera via USB.  And other options are limited only by your scripting skills 
;-)

I've used 5 or 6 digital cameras of varying ages. None used a standard mini-
usb connector.  Most of my machines have a builtin card reader, so card-
swapping actually involves less additional stuff to carry around/loose!

Most cameras have standardised on SD[HC/xC] cards nowadays. With the possible 
exception of CompactFlash on very high-end DSLR, avoid other card formats like 
the plague.
