What a great idea !!

I have just found this portable battery operated CD recorder that takes different media cards, so you can now shoot all day put your card in the machine and write all your images to cd. Forget worrying about running out of card space. Here is the URL

Hadn't seen that one before. Could have possibilties.

Have a look over in the Storage & Media forum -- there are a couple discussions over there on the device.

one issue I'd carefully examine on such a device is whether or not it actually VERIFIES the files were correctly written to the CD. If it does NOT do so, I don't know that I would trust it.

Try this link...it's a great up-to-date currency converter. Looks like it's $356 CDN or $240 USD.

Hmmm, this IS an interesting idea, but probably slower and more cumbersome than those devices with the portable hard drives...not to mention the fact of all those CDs you'd have to carry and worry about. I like how some of those other devices have colour LCD screens to preview pictures, but I'll bet they're a lot more than $356 CDN! Kinda sucks too that you wouldn't be able to copy a full 1GB card at one shot. Now if this puppy burned 4.6GB DVD disks...NOW we're talking.

Under the specs it mentions the following:

Record Options REC only, REC with check

Sounds like it might verify...

for $250, you can get Image Tank and new 40GB 5400rpm IBM Travelstar. Now, that HDD is an investment -- I use it not only with Image Tank (hiking), but also as 2nd harddrive for my laptop, as well as portable disk with compact and cheap Firewire/USB2 enclosure.

This CD writer is more bulky, the battery life is probably bad, feedling with those CDs in the field, capacity less than 1GB... Nah.

Many good points, Mishkin. A couple add'l comments though.

One advantage I see to this sort of system with removeable media is that on long trips one could in theory burn two CD's of each dump and every couple days drop one media set in the mail to one's home/office while keeping the other set. Thus having an off-site backup if you will.

Yes, I know that's a stretch. But it would be an advantage if one had that need. Ideally though one would have enough CF cards to shoot all day and mess with the burning only after the day's done. Fiddling with CD's while in the field wouldn't be fun.

What would be truly cool though is take this idea of a CDRW burner and translate that over to using 8cm DVD rewriteables. Then you get 1.5GB capacity and the media size allows for a significantly smaller unit. THAT I might buy.

As for what I'm going to buy... I don't have a need for such a device for a few months yet, so I'm letting the market advance and price/performance ratios work in my favor.
