Is there a device that reads from one memory card and writes to another and is portable?

Odd request, but is there a device that will allow one card to read/write to another card in the field? I was thinking this would be a good way to make back up's when I'm traveling.

You can have a portable harddrive for backups - Epson P4000 for instance.

Other brands are Sanho , Polaroid , Jobo - and most likely quite a few others too.

Good luck!

We should ask for the development of the two card camera. Memory cards have very little in the way of "intelligence" although it might be possible to write a routine that could do a transfer it would still require a processor of some sorts to format a card, move the data over and verify that the transfer matches. The camera might be the best source for this needed resource as there is plenty of computing power already in place for writing and reading these cards.

Portable laptop or some other device like that is required as far as I know. Good idea though!

I would think one of the portable storage devices would be better so you didn't accidentally overwrite your backup.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
