Thanks to everyone who replied. Yes, I think I need to check this out. I
was thinking of using the pod as mass storage while travelling. But if
it only transfers jpgs then it won't be that useful.

I was referring to the use of the iPod Photo as a standalone image
storage device. The latest versions of the iPod Photo can attach
directly to a camera and initiate the transfer of image files to its
disk. However, I am not sure that it will transfer anything but JPEG
files ... that is, it will not transfer .CRW, not .NEF, not .PEF,
etc, RAW format files in this mode. I'm not sure about that, however,
so it's something to check with the specs of the iPod Photo software
before relying upon it.

I don't see why it wouldn't.
I've never tried RAW file, but I have transfered text files from my
home computer to the one in the office by loading them onto the iPod
Photo and then unloading them. It's really just a little hard drive
with special software to play music and display photos.
I'm not sure that the iPod Photos will transfer anything but JPEG
files from the supported cameras. I'd look out for that. My
impression was that they do not.
