80GB Touch Screen Camera Buddy
The Camera Buddy with Touch Screen (DigiMate III) is a small, hand held photo storage device, great for storing photos and videos. If you are on holiday or a photo shoot, the last thing you can afford is running out of memory cards. Its not like film, where you can pop into a shop and buy more (well, not easily!). The 80GB Camera Buddy lets you copy all your shots onto its internal hard drive, then you can clear the memory card and take more photos. Incredibly easy to use, it is a great accessory for any trip or holiday.
We’ll say it again
Instead of having loads of memory cards to store all your digital photos, the Camera Buddy can be used to offload the contents of your memory card onto the internal disk storage. Every time the contents of the memory card is offloaded onto the Camera Buddy, a new folder is created on the internal hard drive. This allows you to store files with the same name.
After you have downloaded the pictures, you can delete them from your camera’s memory card, take more photos and copy these onto the Camera Buddy again, a process that can be repeated until all the capacity of the Camera Buddy is utilised. Given the fact that the storage capacity of the Camera Buddy is 80GB it will take about 18000 2Mb photos.
Photos can be viewed by plugging the Camera Buddy into your computer via the supplied USB lead. When this is done, the Camera Buddy acts as an additional hard drive, and photos can be accessed in the normal way.
Charge me up
The Camera Buddy can be charged via the supplied mains power supply; via the USB lead when connected to a computer; via a card charger; or via an AA battery back (both sold separately).
The Camera Buddy copies all types of images from the memory card onto the internal hard drive, including RAW files. The Camera Buddy features a multi format card reader, supporting the following formats:
· Secure Digital card (SD)
· MultiMedia card (MMC)
· Mini SD card (without adapter)
