That's what I thought.  And I plugged my camera in via USB for quite some
time before bothering to try the SD card.

And it was shocking - shocking - how much faster the SD card is.  I'll
never plug in that USB again.  (Aside from the fact that the USB (a) drains
the camera's battery for no good reason; (b) requires reaching around the
back of the machine to get to the USB ports).  The SD card is easily an
order of magnitude faster.  I'm awfully glad to have the slot and since my
machine is a 2011, to have it easily accessible on the side of the machine.
