TOKYO - Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of the COOLWALKER MSV-01, an ideal accompaniment to digital cameras for the easy storage and viewing of digital images.
Image transfer to the MSV-01 is extremely easy, due to its compatibility with CompactFlashTM, MicroDriveTM and even SD cards*. It is also capable of supporting JPEG, TIFF, NEF (RAW), Motion JPEG, and WAV formats. Perhaps most impressive of all, the MSV-01 is empowered with 30GB of hard disk space, giving it the capability to store an incredible 10,000 images (approx.)**. What's more, its dimensions of approximately 81 x 130 x 35mm and light weight of approximately 350g make it comfortable to carry anywhere and view images on its easy-to-view, built-in, 117,600-pixel, 2.5-inch color LCD.
Direct printing is possible without the need for a PC through support of PictBridge†. It can also be easily hooked up to a PC using the included cable for swift image transfer via HI-SPEED USB 2.0. And because it is compatible with both CompactFlashTM and MicroDriveTM, images can be easily handled by shops offering print services.
The MSV-01 can also be hooked up to a television, allowing the user to make the most of the handy Slideshow function with the included remote control terminal.
Rubber sides on the casing of the MSV-01 make it easy to grip, and shock absorbers are employed on all four corners of the internal hard disk for further confidence. The GUI is also as easy to view as possible, accompanied by a Multi-Selector that allows the swift navigation of functions and only two additional buttons.
