Copy photos on digital media directly to a CD, bypassing your computer.

Are you looking for a way to store photograph backups on CDs when you are on vacation or on a photo shoot? Usually, this means bringing along a laptop with a CD burner, a bulky addition to any trip. Then you have to make sure the CD burner software is installed correctly. You must turn on the computer, copy the files from the compact flash to the computer, then burn them to the CD...

Instead of all this, you may want to consider purchasing a stand-alone photo CD burner that accepts digital camera media. These type of stand-alone CD burners have the ability for you to insert digital camera media and a blank CD, push a button, and wait a few minutes while photographs are burned straight to CD, without requiring the use of a computer.

Here is a list of a few companies that create stand-alone CD burners that support digital camera media. Note that this list is for informational purposes only:
