I have been using the PP for quite a while and have had nothing but
great success with it.

I wrote a follow up review to Michael Reichmann's review here...

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/accessories/efilm-vista.shtml

I use the Firewire adpater and it works great. I and several of my
peers have had a lot of problems with many other brands of these
devices, so I can heartily recommned the Picture Pad as being
flawless after 1000's of files downloaded.

The Vote seems to be NIXVUE.

Decided, will get the 30 Gbyte version. Thank you all for your
feedback. Luminous-landscape (Michael. T and Michael R.) clinched
the issue.

Yep, I own a mindstore 20gig HD. Been using it since last december.
It works great. Have nothing to say against it. For now, it's a
reliable product. I'll test it more when I go to New Orleans in 3
weeks also.

Since you have already decided perhaps this is superfluous.

I went through the same process a couple of months ago and if you
do a search on the "storage" forum on this site you will find
complaints about every device out there.

I needed something small and simple that would allow me to dump my
1G microdrive contents without a fancy graphic display of images,
which was re-chargable in most places around the world, all
connectors etc came standard and which had either a USB 2 or
firewire interface.

I went with mindstor 30G version since that fit all the above
criteria and was the cheapest. Have used it only on one trip so far
and it has worked like a charm.

Everyone's mileage is different, I guess. Just my experience, for
what it's worth.

Pradeep.

PS. Good luck on your trip. Post some pics when you get back.

I've purchased the Nixvue 30G for my trip to Vegas for CES. In one
night I took 2GB of JPGs from the the AVN awards show. Worked like
a charm. Was so scared to really push it, but when it came down to
cruch time it worked as everyone else has said flawlessly.

I do have some gripes, but in every product theres bound to be
some. I think the LCD display doesn't show all the colors or
something because my pictures when viewed on the display showed
like an 8-bit file. None the less, I used it for storage. I had
also brought a laptop with me, but didn't offload/backup any
pictures. I only used it to view and possibly edit any pictures if
need be.

I haven't tried to view raw files on it, but it does claim to do
so. The device is only USB1.1 and man it is slow. 45-60 mins to
transfer 2.8GB of pictures. There is however a USB2.0 attachment.
That would be awesome...but alas I still only have a USB1.1
interface.

There is also another device that I played with at the CES. The
company is called ARCHOS. The device I played with was the AV140
which arcording to the specs is a 40GB HDD w/ USB2.0. Plays MP4
Video and is a MP3 Music Player and Recorder. Can view videos and
photos on TV or the built in LCD.

This is pretty much similar to the Nixvue but it doesn't have
support for the raw files, and when you're viewing your pictures on
the tv and try to rotate the pictures it doesn't show up. That bug
we found at the show is related according to the guy there was
never identified and was proably due to the resolution of the
picture.

You can find the information via their website @ http://www.archos.com .
The one thing that the website fails to mention is the new product
that they will be selling (around march I think) which was on
display at the CES. I have the product sheet here for it. I think
if I had waited I would have wanted to get this device. Its the
AV340. Same features as the 140, but also includes a photo wallet
and viewer (which I belive isn't much of a feature) and a large
3.8" LCD screen (which I bleive the 140 was a 1.8" screen) which
would be kinda awesome if you want to show the pictures to people
after you view them, also you can play divx movies that you saved
onto the hdd (with all that HDD space what would you do?) the night
before when you get bored ;p.

I have the Vista (Christmas gift from my wonderful wife). I love
it. Works great, no problems. Does display D60 CRWs (RAW) files
(that's all I have on it) and, according to their published info,
RAWs for several other brands/models.

I recommend it.
