I'm looking at getting myself a portable storage/viewer device to upload my pix to while in Australia next month, i will be out there for a month and dont want to take my laptop,
the alternative is one of the new generation devices with a small viewscreen on and a large hard drive inside,
as i want to take all my pix in NEF format,
i have a 2.2gig microdrive, a 512 ultra II CF card and 3x 64meg CF cards, but want to be able to have seperate storage incase the worse happens and i loose all the pix on any of the cards,
the choices are the Nicon Coolwalker , 30 gig with a 2.5" screen, and full compatability with my D70, these can cost anything from £250 to £399
or possible a Smartdisc Flashtrax 40 gig, these have a 3.5" screen and cost £199 to £250 ,a little less than the Nikon , but there is a possablility i cant store the NEF files to the HD on it, tho its fully compatable with Jpeg's etc,
anyone got a device like this, and what are your opinions?
any other recomendations???
am looking to spend a maximum of £300 on one
cheerz
MyPix
addendum
just been to the smartdisk website and the unit is fully compatable with all RAW formats including NEF, it literally takes a fullcopy of the CF/microdrive card and saves it to its own HD, it will also display all RAW images on its screen,
looking like the favourite atm
