[QUOTE="§am, post: 93140, member: 9187"] You could use the USB lead that came with the camera and a converter/cross over of sorts, but I doubt very much your camera would recognise the drive in any way. Nikon (or someone with the know how) would need to write a firmware with universal USB drivers within the camera itself, and then some kind of menu choice to allow copying from your mem card to the external device - way too much effort, when it's easier just to write firmware that says, hey I'm a camera and see me as an external memory source/device :) What is available though are portable backup systems (which are not cheap btw), which could fit your needs.
