Anyone got a Vosonic VP8360? This seems to be the cheapest option of large storage with good viewing screen. I just wondered if the screen was any good and the thing reliable. Waiting for focus on imaging before I spend though.

Cheers

Hi Tim

I use the Vosnic 2260 for portable backup. Before that I had a 2030.

Both units have been 100% reliable for me (3 years+).

Copy time on the 2260 is approx 14 mins for a 2 Gig CF card.

Battery life always seems a bit short, but it does come with a car charger plug so you can run it in the car. Also has a mains supply adaptor.

For a cheap backup solution the Vosonic's do the job.

I haven't used the models which display RAW/JPEG files.

cheers

Sean
