Can anyone please recommend a Portable Storage Device, I want to transfer Canon 20D Raw files to the device. I want one that can run from internal battery, mains and car battery. Many Thanks --
I have a Delkin BurnAway which instead of just storing the images it burns them to DVD's with the push of just one button. The CF card just goes into a slot in front of the machine. The advantage of this system is that you are instantly archiving them as well, it never fills up, and if you're travelling you have a portable battery operated DVD player!
I'd recommend the Apple iPod photo + Apple iPod photo camera connector. with this set you can hook your camera to the iPod photo and download your files to the iPod. I have the iPod photo 60GB, and since it have 15 hours battery life. I think it's a great deal. Apple just lowered the price of the iPod 60gb to $399 Tomorrow I'm getting the iPod photo camera connector, and I'll test it and let you know more. I'm not sure if it will support storing photos directly on the iPod. it may only download photos stored on the camera. We'll see tomorrow best regards -Mr.B ----- Original Message ----- From: "Capture Boy" <> Newsgroups: alt.photography Sent: Wednesday, June 29, 2005 11:43 PM Subject: Portable Storage Devices
I got the Apple iPod photo camera connector today, and I tried it with my Nikon D2X , you just attach it to the iPod, so it adds a USB port to the iPod, then you connect the camera's usb cable to the iPod. the iPod see that there is a memory card attached and you can import photos. I even attached a memory reader to the iPod and it recogised it , I attached a USB hard drive, it recognised it but it didn't read the files, maybe because it's NTFS fromated. It's kind of slow though! compared to copying from a USB 2 memory reader to the computer. best regard MR.B
