CF Card transfer from 1Dxiii to R1

[Sharpshooter007]

Hi. I sold off my 1Dxiii camera but forgot to transfer the photos to my PC. I can buy another card reader, but i dont like accumulating unwanted electronics. I am about to receive my new R1 camera in a few days.

1 ) I am wondering if the Sandisk Extreme Pro CF Card that came with the 1Dxiii will work in the R1. If it doesn't (I don't expect it to), then

2) If it is not read by the R1, but if the card is compatible with R1, then if i transfer using a card reader teh 1Dxiii pics to a PC then can i use the same card in R1 with this pictures transferred back with any format change?

3 ) In general, for firmware updates etc. is a card reader needed? I never did one with 1Dxiii as i owned it for too short a time.

Thanks for looking

In the job that pays the bills consistently--teaching--our district first enabled Google Drive that were school accounts--not private--then they got the bright idea after a few years to move us to One Drive and teachers voted with their feet: to stay with Google Drive.

I am a technology "mentor" at our school. I did a dive in to be a user so as to answer questions. I despised One Drive from the get go. Now, I am NOT advocating for Google Drive--I like it--but I'd like to know what Goodsync is and what you like about it.

Yes, I can Google it, but I suspect your insights would be more useful.

Thus, if you have time, I will be all ears.

Thank you in advance for your response; I learn here on a daily basis from the contributions of many.

I can’t compare with Google, but I have been a Goodsync user for many years. It is easy to configure and reliably works in the background. Never had a problem. It just works.

That is what I needed to hear: your time with it and its stability.

Thank you for the tip. I will give it a look.
