Portable digital photo storage devices are a wonderful way to back up and save images, especially if you're shooting pictures while traveling. Some of the devices can hold as many photos (maybe even more) as your home computer, and many double as DVRs, mp3 players, video players and more. They also allow you to easily show off your favorite pictures. Here is a list of top portable digital photo storage devices.
The 5th generation iPod adds video capability, and the choice of several cool TV shows to download at iTunes. Photogs will appreciate the amazing 60 GB storage capacity, which holds tens of thousands of pictures. It is nicely portable, is slender and weighs a measly 5.5 ounces. On the downside, if you want to transfer photos directly to your iPod, you will need an iPod camera link connector.
What I like about this portable digital photo storage device is the option of inserting a Compact Flash or Secure Digital memory card to transfer photos on the go. It features a 4-inch screen, and also plays video and mp3 files. It supports JPEG and select RAW files.
This powerful portable media device transfers photos from CompactFlash cards, or other cards with an optional adaptor. You can also listen to mp3s or watch videos, and the display is a nice flip-up 3.5-inch screen. You can also view the images on a TV, which is nice for showing off photos when visiting family.
With a slim design and large 4-inch viewing screen, this is a less expensive portable media player for storing photos. With 8GB, you can also expand memory with SD cards. Pictures can be viewed in a slideshow with background music. You can also listen to mp3s or watch videos. View on the screen or on a TV.
