Canon Media Storage M30/M80

Canon Media Storage M30/M80

I guessed I missed this one, but at September’s Photokina Canon announced two new media storage devices. The top-end model features a magnesium alloy body, 80 GB hard disk, 3.7-inch ultra-bright TFT screen, CompactFlash and SecureDigital card reader, USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connection, RAW file support, and takes the Canon BP511A battery used in various EOS models such as the Canon EOS 5D, EOS 20D and EOS 30D.

Using the same batteries as those cameras will make it an attractive device for those owners, and if the build-quality is on a par to Canon’s high-end cameras, it will be pretty appealing all round. Full specs can be found via the links below.

    cheers for that Ben, very useful to see and read up on. I may need one of these portable devices soon, but going by Rob Galbraith’s review it might not be this one….
    cheers,

    Yeah it seems from Rob’s review that it’s an otherwise good device but with very slow transfer speeds, which would be a real shame as design-wise it’s the nicest I’ve seen. Cheers, Ben
