Although not noted in any of the literature I have seen, formats that can be used with this device are very limited. It apparently can not read or record RAW files and possibly not tiff files. I sent it back before trying because more than 3/4 of my images are shot in raw. I believe it will also not read video images shot with many (any?) of the compact digital cameras intended for still photos. ( Almost all of the compact still cameras have a video feature.)

Interesting that they would introduce a new product which can not deal with popular features that have been around for years. Even worse I have not seen any warnings to consumers in the standard promotional materials

Be aware…this product won’t burn your DVDs while you are recording the tape. You have to be reviewing the tape.

While this is a nice product, it is not a good one for travel because it is bulky, heavy and you have to carry way to much. I would suggest a Wolverine card reader and storage as a better product.

The product appears to be the device that I was expecting to receive, but I have not had the chance to use it and verify quality. I plan to do so in the very near future.

To date all I have done is to unpack the item. Will gladly review when I use it.

Thank you
