    These sorts of videos are great for preservation. It is cool that you go over every detail. Often times, review videos for devices don't show all the buttons, ports, and other connectivity, which are things that are cool to look back on in the future when our technology is entirely different.

      Very true. When I think of the mp3 players I had in the early 2000s, they already seem like ancient tech, but what a quantum leap it was from the thick CD Walkman with unreliable anti-shock. It's part of our technological history now.

    I've dreamed of having a mordern version of a device like this that would automatically dump any photos from an SD card onto my google photos (probably using a wifi connection). My ideal device wouldn't even necessarily need a screen, perhaps just a progress bar to indicate copying, uploading, and complete. If the device scanned for photos that haven't already been uploaded and just copied those, even better. I think it could help bring (any, not just wifi enabled) digital cameras into the modern world, allowing people to start using cameras again rather than their phone without the hassle of fluffing around with apps and computers.

    • @DragonFanngg
      @DragonFanngg 2 года назад +13

      Wouldn’t it help to have that feature in the camera itself and bypass the need of an additional device? Given the hardware capabilities these days, the functionality can be added to a single core while also leaving enough resources for various other features to run.
      Cameras can even be made to fit a SIM card, much like an iPad does, or simply pair with your hotspot. I believe, the latter already exists.

    • @shippo72
      @shippo72 2 года назад +4

      Well that device already exists! It's just that in the spirit of miniaturization, your SD card, ImageTank and cellphone have all fused together into a "smart phone". Yes, you can automatically backup all your photos to the cloud as soon as you take the picture, or wait until you cannot to your home wifi to automatically upload them either to your computer or cloud or even both!
      Now, if you're the type of person who likes to use a dedicated, high resolution camera and save your pictures to SD card, then you're kinda SOL, as even the super high-end cameras don't really have any wifi capabilities, and even if they did, it would take forever to transfer RAW files over wifi anyway.

    I could easily imagine a modern version of this perhaps using a high capacity laptop hard disc or SSD. It could maybe run a version of Android for ease of getting an OS and just have a custom app to manage the backup functions. Plug it into a computer and it turns up as a couple of drives, one being the android storage and the other being the hard disc itself. Maybe even have a docking station so that the user could have it as a digital photo frame while its transferring large amounts of data on your desk.
    But yeah, I kinda want a modern one to be a bit more than just an external hard drive.

      I wonder about an improvised one using a Raspberry Pi and battery/touchscreen, with some kind of storage solution, like even an SSD connected by a USB-to-SATA adapter. A dedicated one though could use an ARM CPU, maybe some kind of really light embedded Linux or BSD build to save on RAM, and perhaps even something like RAID-1. Connect 2 HDDs or SSDs so the data can be loaded on both, so if one dies, you still have the other!

    It is kinda funny that I already knew of this concept because the Palm LifeDrive (which came out in 2005) had this feature. In 2005 Palm changed from everything being run in RAM to actually having some NAND flash storage and loading things into RAM to run it. For the LifeDrive they wanted a ton of space on it but back then it was still pricy so they went with a MicroDrive.
    It was 4Gb and for a Palm that was actually massive. Even for point and shoot cameras of the day it was impressive enough.
    In fact you can change the MicroDrive out for a much more huge CF card, add an SDHC driver and still get a bit of use out of it.

  • @StrangelyIronic
    @StrangelyIronic 2 года назад

    I dunno about being replaced, every pro photographer (or serious hobbyist) I know has a WD Passport or similar that is just an SSD with a SD card reader that dumps/backs up inserted card. It's a very common tool to safely and quickly backup files in the field. I have a rolling system with cards, two in the camera (primary high spec card with moderate storage size, secondary a solid but cheaper larger capacity card) with a third high spec to swap to while the first backs up onto the drive. When both of the main cards are finished and backed up I triple check to make sure all the files have successfully copied over in tact, clear the cards, backup the backup to another drive with integrity check, and repeat the process. I'm paranoid, but I've also had film get damaged or lost in travel before (thankfully for personal use only) and won't let something similar happen now that it's so easy to be safe.
    Without devices like these, or the evolution of them in devices like the Passport, it would be a pain in the ass to stop, pull out a laptop or iPad with a usb-c hub, ssd, and reader, then start backing up the files. There are still devices like the one in this video around too, but you don't really need a screen anymore with wireless connectivity and mobile apps to link with. I do have a setup with one of my camera bags that has a usb passthrough running into the bag. I have a single board computer setup to receive the files, perform an integrity check, then ping my phone when it's finished via an app showing all the files (acts as a local wifi node to make that connection similar to a camera). I wrote the software and setup of the hardware myself, to be honest a lot of photographers can barely operate their computers past lightroom, so that's a stretch for most.

    Use a SATA connection for the internal drive.
    A 2TB SATA based SSD is cheap these days and if the device used a good Li-Ion Po battery it could last a good amount of time.
    Perfect for a pro photographer who would fill up their cards quickly.
    It would need to run a basic version of linux not only for security reasons, but to make it cheaper(no windows CE licensing fees)
    It would as you mentioned it, be small, light an battery life would be good these days.
    Bonus if it has WiFi or 4G ability so it can also sync photos to your cloud backup.
