Steve's Digicams Reviews the Transcend Digital Album
Posted by James Fee in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 AM
"All things considered I was quite impressed with the Digital Album. We recently reviewed Transcend's PhotoBank, a great little 20GB portable storage unit with flash memory card slots that sells for $269.99. The Digital Album sells for $359.99 and uses the same 1.8-inch 20GB hard drive and Li-ion battery but includes the ability to view images and movies on its 2.5-inch color LCD or a TV set. For less than $100 difference in price you get a lot more "bang for the buck" as it also offers the ability to output to a TV set, comes with a wireless remote and can also be a fairly decent MP3 player too. Know what's really cool? Going to your friend's house and plugging your DA into his big screen TV and then sitting back and controlling the action with the handy little remote control. It also makes a great backdrop for family or business get togethers, just have an automated slideshow running along on its own. And let's not forget that you can just carry the DA along with you and show off your photos and movies to other people on its builtin color LCD. This is not a low-res muddy looking LCD either, it is big and bright and very colorful and better than most found on the back of even the most expensive digital cameras. "
The Transcend Digital Album seems a little light as a MP3 player, but it sure does shine as a digital photo album.
