Expectations for the Digital Foci Picture Porter 35 at CES

At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Digital Foci plans to introduce its newest product, the Picture Porter 35. This device replaces former generations of the Picture Porter and promises to have more advanced digital photo storage features than ever before.

One of the main appeals of the new Picture Porter 35 will be the 3.5 viewer screen that allows users to look at their photos anywhere. The device can also be used to back up your photos and provides a minimum of 160 GB storage space. Once you have the photos on the device, you can view them as thumbnails or create slideshows of your favorite pics.

Another feature to stand up and take notice of is the copy speed of the Picture Porter 35. While similar models, like the Picture Safe II copies at a speed of 5.0 MB/s, the Picture Porter 35 reaches speeds as high as 7.6 MB/s. You can use the included high speed USB 2.0 cable to transfer files from your PC or MAC. OS compatibility includes Windows XP and higher, MAC OS 10.0.1 and higher, or Linux 2.4x or later.

Better yet, the Picture Porter 35 supports a multitude of memory card types. Transfer pictures from any of these supported forms: CF, SD/HC, MMC, xD, miniSD, MS and MS PRO. Once you transfer the files, you can view EXIF and histogram as well as view the IPTC detail.

For tech savvy individuals looking for a multi-faceted machine, then the Picture Porter 35 is for you. It’s much more than a photo storage unit. It also operates as a multimedia player, audio recorder, video recorder, mp3 player and portable hard drive. This can help reduce the number of devices that you need to bring along while traveling. Image files supported include JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF and RAW. Video files accepted are MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and MJPEG. You can play MP3, WMA and AAC files as well on the Picture Porter 35. This is definitely the device to take note of at CES this year and look for its release the summer of 2009. Look on the Digital Foci website for more information on this new and exciting product.
