DM220P08 Ezpnp EZ Digimagic Portable DVD Burner With USB Host & Image Viewer

My EZDigimagic DM220P08 is awesome. I have had my SD burner for over two years and commend the Digimagic people for making it easier to store my photos, and not clog up my hardrive.

When I first got it, I had to have the technician walk me through the steps of inserting the SD card and what button to push, as I have a disability that makes reading the computer jargon instructions difficult. The EZ PnP Tech. people are very accomodating, and helpful!

After I placed the SD chip in the front slot, and placed the CD in the carrier, which looks just like the CD player carrier on your PC or Laptop, and when the DM220P08 had formatted and booted up and was convinced that the CD was ready it went to town, it copied all 150 photos in just about 4-5 minutes, it then initialized the disc, beeps, and spits out a completed CD.

For general shooting, I just use a CD, and it can accomodate four burns on a one gig SD chip before telling you to switch out the CD for a new one when full, and completes the burn. It automatically picks up at the end of the last burn, and starts the next installment, and makes a new folder that shows up on your computer's hard drive area as a EZPnp disc icon. So when you click on the icon, it shows how many burns you have on that CD/DVD.

So all you DSLR users with monster 24mp cameras out there with your 16 gig chips in your cameras, you will just have to use DVD's for your massive storage needs.

DVD's are incredible though, I have only filled one so far, and that was when I shot tons of photos while in Salt Lake City last Thanksgiving. I was doing a Missionary a good deed and taking some shots of his home and family for a Christmas present to him. I shot over 300 6mp full res shots, and it barely even bothered the CD, I could have placed two hundred more shots on that one.

I take it everywhere I go for photo shoots! And with just four DVD's I can down load a ton of shots that would otherwise have crashed my hard drive, and by formatting the chips, can take another ton of shots. I have a cheapy plastic CD file box with all my photo Disc's, and there are over two thousand shots with the name of the shoot written with a sharpie on the CD/DVD's for simple identification .

There is only one drawback that kept me from giving it a five star rating, and that is you can't play the CD or DVD's on the home TV in your DVD player, so without owning the DM220P08 and having the patch cords, you will have to view them on your gift CD/DVD's on your PC or Laptop.

By the way! It is as small as a portable CD player and fits anywhere for trips and photo shoots.

So until EZ PnP people get permission to be able to make a burner that is CD/DVD to TV DVD player compatible, you will just have to view the shots on your PC or Laptop.
