Unfortunately, with USB cable from camera to my WinXP system i can't read videos over 500 MB, so i decided to buy this reader.
When i tried to use it on my WinXP it didn't work!!! But in some site i read about some SDXC readers worked on Win7, so my last chance was to try it on Win7 System.
So then i went to a Win7 laptop, connected it, Win7 recognized it, and then voilá! =D
I could access to my SDXC through Win7 =D
So i decided to figure out what happened in WinXP, if there's a SDXC driver or something for let it work in WinXP.
I searched and searched, and found a site which explain this problem , which talks about SDXC Memory Cards for PCs, and the exFAT file system used for SDXC
The site asked to download exFAT file system update (KB955704) available from the Microsoft Download CenterAnd then i tried on my WinXP, and it worked.
Hope this helps somebody there! ;)

Buy Delkin All-In-One Universal Card Reader Compatible with SDXC, UDMA and SDHC DDREADER-41 Now
I have used a Delkin FireWire CF Card reader for about eight years now and it still works exactly as it did the first day I used it. Unfortunately it doesn't read the SDHC cards for my new digital camera so I had to purchase a new card reader. I went to Delkin's site and found this then searched for it on Amazon. This comes with a five-year warranty and it works great with my Intel Mac OS 10.6. Even though it's a USB device the data transfer rates are excellent. It also reads the old CF cards from my old digital camera. Both cameras are from Canon.This did exactly what I needed. It read the Sandisk Extreme Pro 45MB/sec SDHC card into Windows XP SP3 with no additional drivers required. The card was formatted and written by a panasonic TM900 camera. Problem solved, plus it handles the SDXC format chips, which is the other format that the tm900 camera supports. The SDXC chips are relatively expensive now for anything class 10 and above, but that is the only path for larger than 32GB SD cards for this camera, so eventually the SDXC card reader will be good to have. The card reader also worked in Win7-64.It is pretty light-weight plastic, so I'll worry some about the durability, but for now this looks good.I originally ordered this for my laptop since my desktop had a multi-card reader built-in. But when I found my Canon EOS 7D time out when transferring 32GB of data I decided to test it out and it's much faster than the camera or my built-in reader. Also it has a micro SD card slot so I can read the memory cards that are in the Zoom H1 audio recorder or my wife's camera without using the full size SD adapter. It's also smaller than it looks like in the product photo (since the predominate feature shown is the micro SD slot which is really small). It's roughly the size of a smart phone (same width as an iPhone, almost an inch shorter, and a smidgen thicker). So now I use it all the time on my desktop and unplug it when I need it for travel... Maybe I'll have to buy an extra one.
PROS:
+ Really Fast
+ Small
+ Lots of card types including sub types like micro SD
CONS:
No Read/Write activity lights
micro SD (or any other) port isn't spring loaded so pulling it out can be mildly difficult.I have a Mac Pro Early '08 and the only way to read the newer SDHC and SDXC cards has been to drag out a USB cable and attach to the camera for downloading. I have a Canon T2i and a Panasonic Lumix LX-5 that I use for a mix of video and RAW photos (mostly underwater) so there is a lot of data on these cards after a day of photography. I have had the Delkin for about 4 months so far and it has performed very well. Although it is USB 2.0, it writes from the cards fairly quickly and has had no issues.
Two notes for what it is worth... It would be nice if it had a status/read light on the reader. The USB cable that comes with the unit is very short so you may want to look to a longer one if your computer is a tower on the floor and you want this to sit on your desk.
