Digital camera reviews of Iomega 31308 FotoShow Digital Image CenterDigital camera Review: 3 features add up to a decent product. Summary: 4 Stars
Feature 1. USB zip drive. Feature 2. Compact Flash/Smart Media to zip drive transfers. Feature 3. Television Display of Images.The biggest reason I got this was the ability to dump my compact flash card to disk. A 20 gig hard drive digital wallet would be nice but, its about 3 times the cost. I plan on going to Australia from the US, and did not want to lug by laptop with me. I bought it for this reason alone, although since it was a ZIP drive as well that gave me extra incentive. I tested it this weekend on both smart media and CF flash and it worked perfect. Copy of 38 images off smart media took less than a minute. It seemed the same for compact flash. Retrieving the images from the Zip drive to a computer was efficient. The photos are under a folder called originals. Hooking it up to your TV and having it display is simple, it just takes a bit of time to process NEW images. The TV display is so so. SOme of the editing capabilities are nice, but a bit cumbersome. It was a big plus to display the images on the TV for my wife and parents. AS a sample of the usefulenss. A friend had about 150 pictures on A CD of my daughter playing baskeball. I copied the images from the CD to the zip drive, (when it was hooked up to my computer of course). I brought the unit to "grandma's" house. Hooked it up to the TV turned it on, and it took about 15 minutes to "process" the picutres. After that we had a nice slide show.... I think grandma is going to buy one...... The only minor issue I had is The AC power adapter is only 110 60 cycle. Most digital products these days the AC power adapter is 110/220 60/50 cycle. I have a UNIVERSAL power adapter so I should be OK.
