I use mine (a 60GB iPod Photo) for music and pictures. It updates
automatically on the tiff-files that have been converted from RAW and
finished in Photoshop, which means that it is a backup of the best
pictures I´ve made with the *istD.
Now I use 12GB of music and 12GB of pictures so I have some space left.
This is used for RAW-format pictures if my 5GB with CF cards are full
(which is seldom). I´ve got the Belkin card reader, and it works OK
except for the battery use. According to Belkin one set of AAA
batteries is only enough to copy 3GB of data to the iPod.
If I had USB 2 on my iMac, and didn´t have that much space on CF cards,
I would have bought the Epson P-2000, but for now I used the iPod more
for music than for pictures, so the iPod serves it´s task well enough.

In that cas, I think you are correct in guessing that it won't work.
I don't put RAW or even large JPEGS on my iPod; I use it mostly for
music and books, and a few photos that I want to carry around to show
people. Since the iPod's resolution isn't that good, and the image is
small, I usually reduce the size of photos before putting them on the
iPod.

I was referring to the use of the iPod Photo as a standalone image
storage device. The latest versions of the iPod Photo can attach
directly to a camera and initiate the transfer of image files to its
disk. However, I am not sure that it will transfer anything but JPEG
files ... that is, it will not transfer .CRW, not .NEF, not .PEF,
etc, RAW format files in this mode. I'm not sure about that, however,
so it's something to check with the specs of the iPod Photo software
before relying upon it.
