I am a Mac User/Designer/Photographer/Web Designer in North London.
Spend as much time using my Canon D60 - habitually with a Canon 100mm Macro attached. Also use a Minolta 800si (though not very often any more)
Also spend hours in Photoshop - when I am not outside photographic the small and beautiful!

Now the answer...
Yes iPods are very good for this. On a Mac using the firewire attachment/the dock - the iPod can mount as an external disk drive and file copying is quick. You can also store music too ;-)
If you add a Belkin Media Reader for iPod (another �100 YMMV) you can transfer files from just about all of the cards that go in Digital Cameras, and store them on the iPod for later transferring.
Some links that may be useful:

http://www.apple.com/ipod/ - iPod page

If you go down this route - it may be worth giving the list a review of your experiences??
Hope this Helps

From my scant knowledge I am told that they are small and reliable.
Is it possible to put these popular machines to a greater use -
carrying hundreds of images during a holiday/expedition/job? Can
anybody tell us how feasible it might be to download images and
reload them to hard-drives for processing and viewing later??
Sorry if this idea is fatuous - it just might be a good one,
especially when iPod are flavour of the months and there are lots of
cheap ones to be had.
