This link goes to a GMini 120. There are many many similar gadgets. I would recommend doing a search on dpreview's (http://www.dpreview.com) storage forum for any device that you are considering. I'll probably pick up a GMini 220 at some point. They have somewhat mixed reviews though. Specifically the battery is not field replacable, which really limits how many times you can use it on a trip unless you have access to AC power. Currently I'm using a 4g Microdrive and I expect this to keep me going through the summer. They are $200 if you buy a Creative Labs MuVo2 and remove the drive. I bought my MuVo2 from J&R Music World. They are backordered everywhere, but J&R got me the unit in about two weeks which wasn't too bad. With the 4gb Microdrive you get about 280 RAW pictures or 990+ L*** JPEGs on the Pentax *ist D. alex
