You don't need either one.

Get a (or use the built-in) media reader. Just move the media card from
the camera to the media reader. The media card will show up in Windows
Explorer as a drive. Then drag and drop pictured from the media drive
to wherever you want them.

"Magic" picture transfer programs are a pain.
