Giga Pro VU with RAW support; any users/opinions out there?
I found reference to the following image storage and viewing device:
Jobo Giga Pro Vu:
http://www.intro2020.co.uk/pages/jobo4.htm
From the description of the products it supports raw formats for a number of cameras including the ones most spoken about here, both canon and nikon.
i already own the epson p2000 and i am very happy with it, but being my paranoid self i cannot see myself relying on only one device while travelling, so i am looking for a backup.
has anyone uysed this or heard of this brand?
