| 620195 | 2007-12-11 03:29:00 | Hi everyone, I am going away for a few weeks in January and will be taking my digital camera that uses SD cards to take photos/videos. At the moment I have 2 2GB SD cards but I will probably fill them up quickly, especially if I record videos. I was wondering if you guys could suggest any way I could transfer photos/videos from the cards to a hard drive or the like, without the need of a computer? I've read about some way of doing it through an iPod but is there a similar method through an adaptor and a hard drive? Cheers aonghas |

| 620196 | 2007-12-11 03:43:00 | I use Photo Bank, it is a Portable Personal Data Center www.digi-mate.com The one on the web page shows 40Gb, mine is 60Gb Got it from Pro Gear. 3 Railway Street, Newmarket, Auckland 09 529 5055 It takes most card types and it has a small laptop hard drive inside it. One of my more useful buys. |

| 620200 | 2007-12-11 08:22:00 | I use Photo Bank, it is a Portable Personal Data Center www.digi-mate.com The one on the web page shows 40Gb, mine is 60Gb Got it from Pro Gear. 3 Railway Street, Newmarket, Auckland 09 529 5055 It takes most card types and it has a small laptop hard drive inside it. One of my more useful buys. Regarding the Digi Bank, from the Nikonians site: "My biggest concern with a device like this is that there is no positive confirmation that everything copied correctly. I would be devastated if I got home and connected the drive to my computer and could not retrieve my images." Bantu what is the price? As Plod says I'd just buy more SD cards, and then have them transferred to a DVD if all get filled up. |

| 620201 | 2007-12-11 21:11:00 | I don't remember, it was about 18 months ago i git it. Took it to Europe and a couple of times to Aussie since then. From memory it was about the price of a couple of 2gb sd cards. Family has 3 Digital cameras plus a Handycam that also uses an SD card for photos. My SLR uses a CF card (which I have 2 x fast 2Gb cards) And several SD cards of various size. The databank reads the lot. There are similar devices that do this with varying prices, from memory Epson make one that has a little screen on it, but i think that was too expensive at the time i got my databank. |

| 620202 | 2007-12-12 21:12:00 | Hey guys, Thanks for all your suggestions, I didn't even know there were such devices. I've had a look on the net and came across this Photo Bank device. Can someone take a look and let me know what they think of something like this? Here is the link (www.chinavasion.com) Cheers aonghas |

| 620203 | 2007-12-12 21:26:00 | That looks better than the one I got:-( A good find. Did you find an outlet for this in NZ? Maybe someone on Trademe imports them. |

| 620204 | 2007-12-12 21:35:00 | Nah I haven't found anyone in NZ who sells them yet. I was thinking of just buying it online through their website, although all up it would be around $230 incl. shipping. I don't know if it's safe/worth it doing it that way? | aonghas (12649) | ||
