I bought an OTG thingy for about $40. It's fitted with 2 USB sockets, 1 to
connect the camera, (source) the other to connect to (eg) a 2.5" portable
USB HD, (target) and has a button marked "copy" which does what it says.
There is also a little switch Full/Root by which you can choose to copy only
what is in the root directory of your source - the source need not be a
camera, could be another disk. The OTG is powered by two AAA batteries or
AC adaptor, and is branded "Belkin USB Anywhere", Part # F5U203, should be
easy to find. It's small, easy to carry, but it is not as fast as you might
hope!
As an alternative, you may want to know that I have since switched to a Jobo
Giga2 which has a built-in card reader and Li-ion battery. I found one on
the famous auction site which was bare for about $20. I fitted a 40GB 2.5"
HD. It's just a matter of plugging in the card and pressing a button.
170075079781 is a recent similar item.

J,
I've seen little OTG bridge boxes (search google with USB OTG bridge), but I
actually bought a 2,5" enclosure with OTG built in. From yabe a while back
called a LOOK DC Partner (but no hits when I search for that now). Cost me
about $20 and came with a battery pack for 4 AAs, all the fixing screws, a
screwdriver, USB cable, ...
