When I start uploading the CF card onto the Digital Foci Safe, do the files stay on my CF card as WELL as copying onto the digital Foci Photo Safe?

yes, the files stay on the card unless you use the delete function on the Foci Photo Safe or manually delete them from your CF card (e.g. using the camera or computer).

I believe there is an option to keep or delete. This didn't work with newer format cards. They fit in the port but did not transfer. Very unfortunate because it is a neat concept.

When I upload the card tot he Digital Foci Safe, they also remain on the SD card I use. I think it gives you an option to delete off card after transfer but I always like to check before deleting!!!!! I love the Foci Safe... its awesome and easy to organize photos

WOW, I can't believe I've done that a hundred times at least. It is a lot easier than it looks.I better mention to everyone, that you do want to download your photos first, as the FORMAT is a total deletion. That's the idea, to clear the card completely, so there's nothing left behind to slow the processing down. And it should be done in the camera the card is being used in, not the computer or a second camera.

CF cards write faster. I always use the CF as my main and my SD as my backup. Both Raw and the reason I do this is if I loose my main card, I will still have a RAW file on the backup to edit! Better to edit a RAW file than a jpeg.

Hello there Andrea. I am really not sure if the frame has that capability however what it can do is what I believe may be a "workaround." You have the ability to upload your photos onto an SD card. Those pictures are uploaded in the order you indicate such as folder names or dates etc. If your looking to display photos of Christmas you may do so either by photo name or date or random within the specified folder. That way you can play the holidays in order of year and even further filter by person/child. Now, what I do is something I have gotten quite a bit of feedback on. I have two children that I have taken on several trips all over the globe. I fly for a commercial airline so I have well in excess of 20k photos. I have them randomly playing from randomly chosen folders with random transition between photos. So literally you never see the same photo twice. All in all you have to remember, you are going to get out of your frame only what you are willing to put into it. Also, at this price point, you simply cannot beat the performance. One piece of advice, just when you think you have ordered the right size, go larger. I have quite a few now and truly the larger size frames are incredible. I hope this helps! Best and good luck!

We inserted pictures without any sticking but have not changed any. We don't think it will be a problem. These albums are really nice and we think they were a value. Hope this helped.

If formatted for FAT32 initially, it should go between systems without difficulty. On one of my LaCie units I formatted only a small section of it for PC just to enable me to take images back & forth between systems.

Yes, I use two and agree with Patricia's comments. The SDXC cards seem to read slower than the CF.

Hello... My experience with this unit tells me it will copy whatevr files you have on your CF cards. It is a hard drive and the content of what your coping should not be an issue. Hope this helps. Fred

Hi Michael, Thank you for the inquiry. Yes, you can read from and write to your cf card with this device. Kind Regards, PM

In my 5D MK3 I use 32GB UDMA 7 Compact Flash and 32GB SDHC. There are slots for both, and a control option to choose which drive you wish to write to. CF has the faster transfer rate.

I carry 2 64GB cards for my D5100. I use a single card for a shoot and move them as soon as practical onto a more stable platform (backed up). Then I return the card to my cycle. This lets me shoot as much as I want without fear of running out of space. I also shoot jpg & raw. They are so cheap (I saw them for $15.99 the other day) that I cannot see a reason not to use them. The other people fearing about loss of the pictures are right though, do not store your pictures on here. Move them as soon as possible.

You shouldn't have to. I transfer multiple pictures from multiple cameras and cards with no issues.

Hi Thomas - I'm on a mac. PacificImageSelects included SW "CyberViewX" is quirky stuff. It can only save in tiff and has no dust removal. Need to purchase VueScan or Photoshop (via CyberViewX as TWAIN) to go for more - e.g Raw. Unfortunately Macs ImageCapture - personally i like it and use it with some Epson scanners - doesn't recognize the PacificImageSelect. Sorry, but the Pacific Hardware is not bad rather then the SW.

Cali ... I've never done it. I have a card reader and I take my SD card load it into the reader and then connect it to a USB port on my computer. The card becomes a drive and then I just copy and past the pics I want onto my desktop.

I have always selected the option to not format the card and have had no trouble with recording images and video, as well as downloading those images to my computer. Not sure if that helps at all.

I only used three CF cards whilst I had my 7D. All SanDisk and all fitted. The fit is snug but if the manufacturer is using good design and materials then there should be no problem. I did have an SD converter but stopped using this as the transfer rate was really poor. However, it fitted okay.
