The R10 has an SD card, not CFexpress, so an external card reader is super cheap, and very fast.

I know OP talking R10 and SD, thats why I said CFE "For me".

If think on downside, insert & reject card usually on a cheap card reader, it could corrupt card's file system easily. This happened on colleagues around me, they need do a photos recovery every week, after changed USB for photos transfer, card problem happen rarely.

I've never had that happen to me in 20 years of using card readers, but I've avoided cheap no-name or unknown name readers.

As for CFExpress Type B readers, my Prograde one cost $80US. (It also reads SDXC UHS-II cards.) Is that expensive? (In the context of a digital camera suite, I'd say no.)

It has a 10Gbps (1.25 GBps) interface. Thunderbolt readers may be more expensive, but faster.

I can't comment about the problems suffered by the poster's "colleagues". I almost always use the card reader, and have had no issues with it.

On the other hand, I imagine that using the camera's USB port would be OK for a sufficiently careful user.
