Holidaymakers win on price and capacity
with Amplio’s Portable Photobank
• Thousands of images stored at a fraction of the price of flashcards
• Download images for safekeeping without a PC
• High speed data transfer
22 April 2004, Swindon – Digital photographers now have the freedom to view, download and store thousands of pictures safely, without the need for a PC. Digital memory suppliers, Amplio Technology Group Ltd, announce the arrival of the Portable PhotoBank with a 20GB hard disk drive. Capable of storing 22000 images from a low-resolution 2 megapixel camera, or 5000 images from higher-resolution 6 megapixel cameras, it will retail around £179.99 inc. VAT. This is one fifteenth the price of the same storage on 20 separate 1GB compact flash cards which cost around £2,799.
There is an introductory offer of £129.98 at www.flash-card-store.co.uk
High-speed data transfer to PC is 480Mb per second, so flash cards can be downloaded quickly each day, wiped and reused. Weighing just 300 grammes (2/3 of a bag of sugar), it fits neatly into the palm of your hand. Use 3.8V rechargeable batteries or buy the extra AC adapter to recharge it using a car cigarette lighter.
David Flack, Amplio’s Retail Director says ‘Photographers no longer need to buy additional flash cards for their holidays until they can download onto PC. The combination of portability, capacity and price make the Photobank an indispensable piece of kit for keen photographers and holidaymakers everywhere.’
The USB2.0 adapter makes it compatible with all PC applications for easy image download and the device can also be used as a card reader. An LCD displays the working status so you know when images have been fully downloaded, avoiding accidental corruption of the disc by taking it out too soon.
Available in reputable internet and camera stores.
