Copy From CF to SD w/out PC?

tctech · 03-14-04, 12:46 PM

Is there a way to copy jpg's from my digital camera- CF only, has USB connector- to an Axim x3i without using a PC? I want to do this while on vacation without lugging my laptop. I've looked to see if there are any standalone card readers, but no luck.

Thanks

You could get an X5 or an iPaq 2215 to do the copying (you said "without PC" - not a PPC :) )

Seriously though, I think a viable option is to get an sd to CF adapter. That way you could use sd cards in your camera and just put the sd in your Axim.

Great idea! Any opinions on available adapters?

Or get a PCMCIA to CF Adapter ($5 - $10) to put the Camera Card into your Laptop, (xfer from CF to Laptop) and get a WiFi card ($10 - $15) for your laptop and set-up an AdHoc to your X3i and transfer them wirelessly.

Or get the Minolta SD-CF1 Compact Flash Adapter, seen below. and not have to use WiFi.

i think the minolta type flash adapter is the best thing you could do
