Nikon Coolwalker MSV-01 amazon.com User Reviews

Prefer this over the FlashTrax

I got mine today - very nice. Reads a 4 GB Microdive quickly. Great display, far better than the FlashTrax. Transferred all my photos to it, have room to spare. Direct printing is a plus! Glad I bought it./

A portable harddrive with a view screen

It does its job. I shoot with SD cards. I had to find a CF adapter before I could use it (Ebay -SD cards slips into CF jacket and both slide into Coolwalker). I have used the Coolwalker to upload and download images (and other computer files) on both my...

OK but what is this CF Card Adapter??

First of all, I love this when used with my Nikon Coolpix 880, which uses a CF card. However, God help us, my wife has a Kodak EasyShare camera which uses an SD card. Reading the description, I see that "It's also compatible with CompactFlash and Micro...

Using the Coolwalker with a CF Adapter

I bought a Nikon D50 after comparing the quality to the D70. The D50 though uses a SD card instead of the Compact Flash card - mostly for making the D50 smaller and lighter than the D70. Anyhow, I still wanted a Coolwalker... as I'm going to be using the...

Not Happy

If you just want to copy your images from your CF cards and later to you computer it is good. Battery life is short, you can't copy 25gb on one charge... Nikon does not support your copying files from your PC to it. Does not even what to hear about co...

Great--until it died

I purchased this item with a hi-res camera, and it was a lifesaver on long shoots. The ability to back up my images immediately gave me real peace of mind, and the thing really worked as advertised. Although it would freeze every now and then, I never los...

Basic Garbage

I was anxious to buy a CoolWalker as soon as they came out. Having bought a new D-100 I could hardly wait to get out and take a zillion pictures. I did buy one and really wish I had not. It is extremely sloooow! Better stick to a 1GB card because the bat...

Coolwalker review

The Nikon Coolwalker is the only way I have found to view Nikon's NEF raw files in a portable device. The Coolwalker works very well as a viewing device and storage device with one notable exception....it can deplete it's charged battery very quickly. If...

First impressions

The main reason for choosing this unit among the many existing in the market was its reiability. It has many good points, it is simple to use, needs just on buttom to transfer all the images contained in the card, the speed is not its strongest point but...

Slow, but functional

This is a good way to store image when you are going to shoot a lot of gb on vacations, travel, etc, but it's not very portable. - If you need to back-up your CF card, you need to have it plugged into the wall or the batteries will die out (I have an 8...
