My camera, like many modern ones, has USB-C and can transfer photos over Wi-Fi, so I find it pretty convenient to connect to a Mac.

  Some, but not most. And cameras have a lot longer life than other tech, so my guess would be that 99% of cameras in use don’t have the ability to connect via USB-C.

    Just permanently stick a tiny USB-A to USB-C adapter on the cable and they instantly do have the ability to connect via USB-C. It's that easy!

      I haven't directly connected my camera to a computer in over a decade. Card comes out of the camera and goes in the SD card slot on the laptop. So much easier and less fiddly.

      But why? Why does it make sense to someone to remove SD card slot?

  Cameras have SD cards instead of internal storage for a reason - plugging in the whole camera is often cumbersome or in some scenarios not possible.

    While Image Capture is fine the transfer speeds directly from camera are usually poor. Cameras also have CF and now CFexpress. I’ve personally never used an SD card in any of my cameras so USB card readers have been part of my workflow for many many years. It’s a difficult one to get right. Moving to all in on USB-C TB achieves pleasing nobody equally.
