When your a live aboard for 7 days. You can backup all your photos and videos without a laptop.

I've done some research the more advanced models will allow you to create seperate folderes each time you upload.
I dont know if this particular model can do so.

I will keep you guys posted.

Hey ya'll.

I am getting ready to do a liveaboard trip to Bahama with Blackbeards in June. I don't have a laptop and am looking, instead, to purchase a portable photo storage device. I'm confused about some of them, as I won't have a driver/software to upload them, like to a hard drive or something, via USB. I am looking for something that takes Memory Stick. I have a Sony DSC-W7 that uses lots of space on highest resolution setting of 7mp. I use it for video clips, too. I thought this might be a better route than buying more memory sticks and cheaper and smaller than a laptop. Any suggestions or past experiences? Thanks!

i had a flashtrax but the screen was very poor picture wise, i now have the epson p2000, it has an excellent screen (laptop quality) and a multifunction card reader.

i have a d70 and haven't even scratched the surface on filling to 40GB hard drive.

the latest version apparently has an 80GB hard drive.

I think (may be wrong) you need to re-read that, it has this note

NB: A hard disk (not included in this package) is required for the device to function. You can buy any 2.5" Notebook IDE or ATA-6 hard disk from you local computer store or from online dealers like www.newegg.com & www.tigerdirect.com. It takes less than 5 mins to install the hard disk into the HyperDrive.

So $149 just gets you the case, you need to then pay for a hard drive to go in it too (unless you have spare notebook hard drives lying around).
