JOBO ImageMaestro PRO Portable DVD Burner, Card Reader & Media Player JIM-001
Nice burner can make multiple backups
If you are on a long photographic trip you will inevitably fill up your memory cards. I bought this instead of the more popular harddrive type backup because it can make multiple copies. If the harddrive in your harddrive backup were to fail or your harddrive backup was stolen, you would lose all the images from your trip. With the Jobo burner, I make 2 DVDs or CDs and keep them in separate places. <br /> <br />The unit is well built. The slim drive is removable so it can be replaced if it broke in the future. DVD Burning is slow, so using it in the field is not that practical. I don't think the battery would last more than a few burns. I burned my DVDs in the evening in my hotel room. <br /> <br />You can show your images on a TV. It can even advance them automatically for a slide-show. Unfortunately, the zoom is too limited. I was hoping to be able to check the focus of my images, but I could not. A remote control is also included. It will also play DVD movies. <br /> <br />I comes with a nice case, but it is a bit larger than I had imagined. The A/C converter, remote, and all the cables take up more space than I thought. But, it is still much smaller than a laptop. <br />
