That is worth while just for old and slow cameras with CF slot if you have lying around the same time many SD cards. Although I have a lot of SD card for other cameras, the pace was me for the DSLR but then too much. For the price of the adapter you now get even 8-16GB CF cards are much faster.
Can therefore only recommended for people who do not care speed (Full HD Video recording is probably not going to be reliable and continuous shooting Puzzle). I can not say anything about the long-term reliability due to lack of experience. Three stars because you could just need the adapter for undemanding applications thoroughly.
