For those of you who don't know what the Nikon Coolwalker is, in short it's a portable hard drive that gives you 30GB of storage for your tiff, jpeg and NEF files. It features a 2.5 inch lcd screen like on your digital camera, but a bit better. You put your flash card in the unit, download to it, format your card and keep shooting.
Now my question is for those of you that own similar units. I have been researching other units besides the Nikon MSV-01 and I'm finding that nearly none of them come right out and say, you can view NEF files with our unit. Do any of you use the two units below? If so, are they fully functional with NEF files?
The two:
Now smartdisk does say that you can view NEF files, but I don't see it plainly spelled out that you can see them full screen on the unit it self. Maybe I just missed that.
I'm personally leaning towards the Smartdisk 40GB unit. AT B&H for $485 or $489, can play mp3 just about all the movie formats and has a 3.5 inch screen. From what I hear, The Nikon will cost just about the same, but offer 10GB less and not play mp3 and only play movie files that cameras record (not that I would really use that or even base a decision on that, but hey....)
Have they [Nikon] missed the boat on this?
If anyone has experience with these especially the two above, I'd really like to hear what you have to say.
Thanks,
Bo
