Yes, and the Digimate can be had for under $100 US, if you view photo's on the camera or laptop instead. :-) My biggest worry is having the thing stolen and losing all the photo's not already copied elsewhere. Having a $1000+ unit would only increase my worry! But the biggest joke is that you can buy a Digimate AND a laptop computer for less than the Canon unit! That's my alternative, and I don't feel the need any thing else. MrT. |

Doubtless either the price will come down to Epson P5000 levels quite quickly, or the whole idea ****-canned. The opportunity for Canon is that given price equivalence, and if the M80 can decode and display the raw files, many will feel the need to toss their Epson units. Unless Epson gets off their ass and releases a firmware update that decodes CR2 files... |

That's the Australia price. US will be much cheaper and street price
lower still. Wayne J.

There aren't many laptops the size of the M80. And not many with a screen as small as the M80 thank god! You do realise the Digimate is smaller than the Canon M80? Best of both worlds IMO, and twice the number of backups each night. MrT. |

Digimate costs less than $150AUD with 40GB. New laptops can be had for less than $800AUD with another 40GB or so. BOTH therefore for less than the Canon unit. Tell me why the hell I would want the Canon? MrT. |
