I'm looking for a gizmo, not sure if it even exists!

Is there such a thing as a hard drive that you can connect your camera to and transfer pics, without the use of a PC?

Brian

I know such a thing exists for Camera to iPod..

depends on camera

but for the canon cameras 40d & 5d that i know of

there is a wireless battergrip, which has a usb socket that you can connect a hard drive to

Was there a post some time back about connecting your camera to a DS?

Overblood

I have a 40d if that's any help. Eirlink that epson 4000 is sort of what I'm looking for, not sure if I need the screen though. Are there any ones like that with bigger storage?

Or maybve a there's a gizmo out there somewhere that acts as a mini PC between the camera and a regular external harddrive?

Brian

Hmm, they don't seem that common..

i use one of these Flashpac units

not exactly the camera to the device, but just slip the memory card out of it and into the flashpac and in a couple of minutes all your pictures are copied across

i don't use it as a sole storage device, don't delete what's on your memory card till you've backed up your pictures again but it's a great device to have so not to worry about losing memory cards after an important shoot

Lots of netbooks have 160Gb drives, and don't cost much more than some of those backup units. I suppose it comes down to whether the extra benefits of the computer would compensate for the slight bit more weight.
