>>It seems that the bigger drawback is the battery life: 1-2 hours is the >>average time.
As an example. I have the xs-drive II. I took it on a recent trip to Hawaii for two weeks. I downloaded about 700 raw size EOS 10D files and didn't need to recharge the xs-drive at all. However if I did need to recharge then I could have done that one night at the hotel. If you're out for a couple of days in the bush you should be fine depending on how many photos you take. You can also buy spare rechargeable batteries quite cheaply for them. It takes the 'normal' modern laptop drives which are very hardy in that they're designed to be carried around and banged up a bit. I do wish I had a reviewable screen though which is larger than the camera's. Some of my photos were not quite what I thought they were and reviewing would have enabled me to shoot again. I believe Archos make a pretty good system which has all the bells and whistles. Don't know of anyone who has one of them though.
