Well, in my case, the plug at the camera end of the cable for my Olympus is very fragile - the pins get bent easy and that's how I ruined the first one. I don't know about other brands, though.

Secondly, and this again my be peculiar to my set-up, I often have the camera mounted to my tripod in a cobbed-together "studio" area, and it's just a lot easier to leave the camera on the tripod and slip the card out and over to the computer, which, by necessity is way beyond one cable-length away.

Plus, I never got around to getting the oddball ac adapter for my camera. Therefore, if I use the cable, well, I go through the hassle of the batteries going dead at the wrong time, etc.

Speaking strictly for myself, it's a blood-pressure-lowerer.
