Thanks, Reuben, Gosh the price of a 80GB is the price of a laptop!

Gwyn, I was considering this as I am away only 10 weeks now and to forget about a laptop and buy one of these devices instead. I liked the price of the one I mentioned and its spec, but presumed it wd be K20D compatible, thanks for pointing that out, as my K20D is actually winging its way to me now!!!
I asked here because I have searched and searched for reviews on it and only found one and that was a bad one!

So, which one do you have, can you view the images OK ?

What is the average file size of a DNG from K20D? Is is it any bigger than the K10D which mine average about 16MB?

Has anyone got, used or has any review on the VOSONIC VP5500 it is another option I am looking at for storage, any help appreciated.

#3 does it for me too, gorgeous tones and colour, really easy on the eye, well done.

Looks like you got a good one there, I too like the leaves shot best.
How nice to have a zoom that opens up that wide. A lens I wd like to have one day, for travelling, it wd be superb.
Here is a link to some other views and nice snaps with it I noticed this week also:

Thanks for putting them up Prieni

any chance you cd post a few pics, wd be very interested to see if you have 5 mins?

Yes, cards, sticks and www.vosonic.com
is another less weighty route I could go down, but that backlog of editing is a worry!

Thank you guys, yes, I would love a MAC, but twice the cost I know it would be a good investment, but concerned about carrying such a treasured beauty as it would be, around India !

Dell has attracted me especially when I see that some have alloy cases, like this one nearly a kg less in weight compared to the Acer, but Lord I have hear so many horror stories about Dell bad 'uns and customer service nightmare.

Such a hard choice to make, didn't realise about the graphics card tho Matt. I have a Huey Pro that I can take with me, very small and will match my existin calibration hopefully.

I have to get one soon and there are so many out there, not sure on all the bits I need on it but most importantly I need it for :

a) burning RAWS & TIFFS to DVD to post home occassionally
b) editing in CS3

I presume I need a good spec that includes a fairly good dedicated graphics card?

I found this one - has anyone any thoughts advice that would kindly give me because it is beginning to give me a headache trying to decide, but, I think this may be it. Would be nice to know if I am on the right track though

Oh I will eventually, just have to summon up the courage for a few more days and to justify getting the 16-50 or a fast wide at the same time !
