Seem the way to go to me. All other portable storage devices have built in batteries, this one you can change. Meaning on extended kayaking trips I wouldn't have to rig up a solar charger (Less equipment=more food!)

Also wouldn't have to woory about a shock damaging the hard drive. Any info greatly appreciated

I haven't seen this one yet. Looks interesting. Kinda on the pricey side. What kind of batteries does it use? That would be a bonus feature to be able to carry around extra batteries.

One page back are extra lithium ion bats at about 35 each

It is rather cheap compared to the Flashtrax Drive I have, at like $650 for drive, an extra battery and shipping. I just like to have the instant ablitity to see the pics I have taken better than the 1.8 in screen you have on the 10D. It is about 4x the size of the one on the 10D. Seems like the Flashtrax drive had a recent price drop of like $50. D'oh!!! I was initially looking at the EZDigiMagic one. I think it is EZPnP, or something like that. It was the way to go until I saw something w/ a large LCD screen. I can also put full length DVD movies and MP3s on there too! I have the 40 GB flavour. They come in 80GB and 30GB (possibly redundant) flavours as well.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

CDR's only hold 700 mb of data. If you have 1gb cf cards your in trouble.

burning CD's are cool and you don't have to worry about losing any data.

I bought a X's Drive w/out a hard drive for $89.00 and I had a old notebook drive laying around from an upgrade. This X's drive also reads all memory cards.

This looks like the answer for me. I plan an extended shooting vaction next summer and I have been thinking about buying a laptop - which I really don't want - or one of these type of devices.

My only concern about this one is how do you KNOW that the file has been burned? How does it confirm this? I'd hate to spend a couple of weeks happily burning disks only to find that nothing really happened.

If anone could address this concern I'd appreciate it.
