My son and I have the T3i and use the old fashioned pull the SD card and stick it in a newer USB 3.0 SD card reader.
Works fine.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T5. Four out of every five videos I take cannot be transferred to my computer. When I transfer them, the resulting file is 0 Bytes and cannot be opened by any media player. The videos still play back fine on the camera, but I cannot in any way transfer them to my computer. I've also tried transferring them to my external harddrive and two different thumb drives, and none of them work. I've lost several important projects that I cannot re-film and am not very happy with my purchase at the moment.
