Brigham Brothers Comment:

Amazing bit of kit. No more carrying around lots of expensive memory cards. Just one card, and this memory box does it all. Take your pictures, slot the card in, switch on, copy and start taking pics again. Simple is an understatement.

The display is nice and bright, shows the info you need and nothing more.

Connected to the computer, it displays each set of pictures from each card in separate card folders for ease of viewing.
It also acts as an external hard drive without the need for extra power cables, so is ideal for connection to a laptop whilst on the move.

All in all a great unit, small and light enough to be unobtrusive in any pocket.

10/10 for simplicity and price.
