I have copied photographs many times off a camera card using the card reader on my PC, and have never had any problems. I do not use the"safely eject" system but I do ensure every file is closed before removing the card.
Highly recomended: a camera with wifi so you can uplink your (irreplacable) photographs from your camera to your home system as soon as you get a signal. If your camera does not have wifi, you can buy SD cards with wifi built in. Or just buy a smart phone with a decent camera.
