Downloading photos I am considering buying a portable hard drive. Don't know much about them. Can you download photos directly onto the portable hard drive or do you need the computer? I am wanting some type of device that I can transfer pics to when I am traveling to store till I get back home. Can anyone tell me what I need? Thanks....Judy

Stand alone storage device has a memory card slot (compact flash and secure digital memory card) you can insert to its card slot to download photos. Epson P-2000 (from bhphotovideo): Then, there are personal data storage likes of PDA's (Personal Digital Assistant). You will most likely have to buy an add-on cable to hook up the camera. Once you are home, you will be able to hook up these devices to your computer directly to transfer your images to the computer.

I went to Zim recently and shot nearly a gig a day and d/l each night to an Ipod 60g - it was great, instead of taking the laptop with, but it chewed both the Ipods battery and the 350D's (I had spare for the camera, so not a problem), and had taken my chargers with, but the minute you plug in the Ipod, it discharges completely before re-charding, and then it took the whole night to re-charge - just something for you to think about. Regards
