Anyone tried those 2 together?
Is speed OK or really abysmal?
The iPod speed is bad, but not abysmal. The real problem is battery
life: writing to the drive uses the battry up quickly. I was unable to
copy a full 1Gb SD card with a full charge. 500M was about the max that
I could safely write, and i wouldn't advise pushing it: the iPod got
flaky on low power. There's also no way that I know of to use extra
power (wall power, external battery, car adapter..) with the camera
connector, since power goes in through the same plug as data, and I
could find no splitters.
As I mentioned, I also found the setup to be flaky: sometimes the ipod
would crash on me and on reboot tell me it had no photos on it any more.
It was more than a little stressful halfway through a 1 month trip to
africa.
The epson devices seem like a better bet for photo archiving. I still
love my iPod, and use it every day for music, videos, and for showing
pictures.
