Picture Porter Elite

My brand spanking new thingie just arrived via airmail today. At first glance, it seems a little too much for just photo storage, but after a while you get to see what it does and it just blew me away!!

This is the Picture Porter Elite from Digital Foci.
It Basically is a media storage handler for all your digital media, whether it be music, photos or video it stores it, plays it and views it. Its 40 gig hard disc gives you more than enough space to store just about anything!

It has an on board CF I/II and microdrive also an SD, MMC, MS reader! just plug your memory stick in and download it into the picture porter.

Play your music and videos even without earphones. It has a bulit in speaker that gives out pretty decent sound. Audio outs and video outs from the porter allow you to play your music or video on your component system or your plasma screen at home! Video and Audio ins are also supported, so you can record your favorite show or DVD movie striaght from your source! For scheduled programs there is also a timer on the porter so just set the time and leave it! it will record everything on that time frame... pretty cool huh?

It supports almost all kinds of file types, but whats even better is that it stores RAW files. Heres a photo shot from my canon 30D. Dumped it straight from my CF card and viewed it. It takes about 4 minutes to transfer a whole 1gig CF card to the porter.

An FM reciever adds a little want to this little toy. included earphones also serves as your antenna Everything that you need for everything i mentioned here is included in the picture porter elite box! Well except for the stick adapters for you RS SD or the reduced MMS and the MS duo and MS M2.
