Hi, I (and many others on the list) have an X-drive II. It's basic and does the job with reasonable speed. It's been superseded a couple of times but you can still buy it some places. The Compact drive PD7X uses AA batteries and is supposed to be faster and smaller and I would consider it if I was looking for another basic model. Of the brands that show pictures only the Flashtrax supports Pentax RAW format, but you pay a lot more for the ability to view pictures. The Flashtrax is also a lot bigger than the X-drive. Hope this helps. Leon http://www.bluering.org.au http://www.bluering.org.au/leon
