Having said that if you're going to be away from home for an extended period, like a week or more, I can see the attraction, although the potential for losing a LOT of shots if anything goes wrong with it is a bit worrying.

hmm, lol, i to have a Sony Vaio lappy with a 40 gig HD, and the coolwalker or the Epson p2000 is a fraction of the weight and size of the lappy, and will last ages on a single battery charge
and as for having to use cables etc in the field, well, all u got to do is swap out the CF card from one to another , but i do know u were refering to the lappy , lol
the transfer rate on the portable HD's is fast , and i have had no probs ith my P2000, but i havnt used the Nikon yet ?
and to be honest, the only real reason for getting one is to save ur RAW files,
as the CF cards i had would of held thousands of jpg images, but only about 70 RAW's
as for comparing them between each other, well there was a review some months back in one of the mags between about six of em , you pays ur money and takes ur choice jobby really( but the Nikon and the Epson come out on top :wink: )

btw, still open to offers on the brand new (7 weeks and unused ) Nikon Coolwalker 8) that cost £399 to start wiv :cry:
