Nikon Coolwalker MSV-01

Mobile storage device for digital cameras

The Nikon Coolwalker MSV-01 is a 30Gb portable image storage device designed to enhance the organisation and enjoyment of digital images. This stylish, powerful device offers an innovative solution to organising thousands of large image files of all formats, produced by today's high-resolution digital cameras. The Coolwalker sports a large 6.3cm (2.5inch) TFT monitor and easy-to-use menu which guides the user through the process of efficient image management while on the move, without the need for a PC. It also provides extensive options to share and print your work either on its internal screen, transfer to a digital lab for printing, or share later across a network, via the internet or with the user's own PC.

The Nikon Coolwalker is compatible with all major image file formats such as JPEG and TIFFs, as well as Raw NEF (Nikon Electronic Format) files produced by Nikon digital SLRs and some models in the Coolpix range. It's also compatible with a variety of popular storage media, such as CompactFlash, or SD cards with a suitable adapter.

Storing and organising images
The Coolwalker has 30GB of storage capacity, equivalent to approximately 10,000 2Mb image files. (A Nikon 6-megapixel camera saves a compressed file of approx. 2MB.) Images are transferred quickly via the Compact Flash™ I/II media slot in the device. This frees up storage media cards to enable continued shooting in the field. Optional adapters for a variety of different media cards will be available.  The easy to understand menu makes the process of saving images and storing them logically very simple. They are stored automatically by date, for searching later.

Browse quickly, save and sort easily

The large TFT monitor makes instant browsing of thumbnails in the field easy before or after transfer to the in-built hard drive, conserving camera battery power for shooting pictures rather than playing them back. Full image playback functions such as Rotate, Zoom, Histogram and EXIF shooting data are offered. The large screen and Nikon's easy-to-use four way Multi-Selector makes delete, move, copy and rename operations very easy and enjoyable, supported by a straightforward menu which offers a choice of four languages.

Your best shots shared
Once images are organised to your satisfaction, they become an extensive mobile photo album. Images are easy to share with family, friends or colleagues without the need for a PC. Just connect the Nikon Coolwalker to a TV or projector (PAL or NTSC, so perfect for international travel) using the included remote control, to present a slide show of your selected folders of images from the comfort of your armchair or in a boardroom.
The Nikon Coolwalker also enables printing of images without a computer. It can be plugged directly into any PictBridge™ compatible printer for PC-free printing.

Long battery life
The Coolwalker can operate for up to 1.5 hours thanks to the powerful rechargeable lithium polymer Nikon Battery Pack EN-EL6 and its charger/AC adapter - included with the Coolwalker.
