A pro photographer shooting in RAW mode on a modern DSLR camera can fill a 4GB Compact Flash card in under 200 shots.  A photo shoot can end up being thousands of shots.  So what's he supposed to do when he's in the field without access to an AC outlet, much less a computer?  Pack up and go home after 200 photos?<br><br>Laptops and PCs are great if your idea of photography is something done on Christmas morning with a point-and-shoot, but if you're a pro, you need a way to transfer images off of your camera's flash memory when you're in the field.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fmaxwell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 14th 2007 9:04PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Polaroid's CGA-02540 provides ClickFree backup for photos]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[OKAY, I SHOULD HAVE READ THE ARTICLE.

The girl in that vid is so lame. Love how she manages to look initially confused at the start, when holding the USB plug. Since it comes with software, its target market will probably not negotiate their way out of the box.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scooter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2007 4:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Polaroid's CGA-02540 provides ClickFree backup for photos]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[Uhhh... so who exactly is this for? Someone smart enough to think "I wonder when my internal hard drive is going to fail" but retarded enough to not be able to figure out the software for a backup drive? I don't think there's much of a market there, unless they're trying to create one by scaring people into thinking their computer WILL die no matter what. I agree that this would be infinitely more useful if it served as a storage device for your camera and then perhaps copied pictures back and forth between your computer.<br><br>I'm wondering why they don't sell things like this for general use, not just photos. It's not very big and holds a hell of a lot more than a thumbdrive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Aaron]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 15th 2007 10:59AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Polaroid's CGA-02540 provides ClickFree backup for photos]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/14/polaroids-cga-02540-provides-clickfree-backup-for-photos/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think you guys should take a closer look at the product. I did a little more reading on this puppy and it is an interesting idea. Basically, you plug it into your computer and it backs up your photos. You don't have to install any software or press any buttons, which would be good for the "I don't write my e-mails in binary" crowd, AKA my wife. In fact, I think I've just come up with a reason to engage in a little frivolous spending... ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[austinpowers]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 16th 2007 11:01AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
