Transfering photos to NC straight from my DSLR...can it be done?

[LocalStain]

Not really interested in uploading my photos to the net. Unmounting the microSD card is good info though. Thanks.

I use free cloud storage like this for archiving purposes. You can never have enough opportunities to back up your photos. I speak from personal experience. Storage is cheap. If you use Gmail/Picasa you already have 8gb free and 80gb is $20/yr.

If it is not in three different places it doesn't exist.

PC, terrestrial back-up, cloud.

Hi guys,

One thing that I have yet to tried but don't know whether it can be accomplished is to transfer my photos directly to NC from my DSLR, so that I can review the photos on NC while I am on the trip. Can it be done using any accessory? It would be good if I don't need my laptop at all to transfer the photo files. Thanks for your input.

Hi,

I'm the author of an app called MoPhotos that will allow you to transfer photos from your Eye-Fi card to a Nook Color. I just recently picked up a Nook Color, and I was able to get this to work (I plan to make a demo video of how to set this up eventually). I had to connect both the Eye-Fi card and my Nook Color to a common access point (through my Nexus One). Once connected, the Eye-Fi card could upload photos to the NC. The downside to this is that the NC does not have GPS, so geotagging is not possible. There is a new app, called Tether GPS, that gives you a software GPS on the NC if you are tethered to a phone that has a hardware GPS.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the site, but if you look in my profile (or search in the market), you should be able to find the app, if interested.

I hope this doesn't come across as spam...I'm just trying to suggest a solution to you.

Best Regards,
Kevin

I have several terabytes of files. Cloud storage isn't an option as it would take a LOOOOOONG time to upload. I keep a backup at home, at work and at a friends house in another part of town. Yes, I use a lot of hard drives.
