I doubt any one reads this but I am also thinking about picking up a storage unit to dump my images off to. From looking around most of them are exactally what I do not want. They can display them images, and the battery life is WAY to short with very slow transfer times. I don't want to display the images on the portable unit, I have better resolution on the camera display. But when one thinks about it for a second you are only seeing about 1/30 of the pixels. I can't see how sharp that is, or how the image will really look. Heck I can't even do that very well on my laptop which runs at 1600x1200. The other thing is battery life. All of these things apper to have around two hours of life. Well take the 521MB CF card plug it in wait 25 min for it to copy and all of a sudden the device is only good for a day or two of shooting before recharging. What am I to do when I am out in the wilderness and recharging is not possible? Hmm it looks like 2GB microdrives are only $130 with 4GBs comming in at $219... looks like I have a new toy.
