Essential Digital Camera Companion
Perfect for business travelers and summer

laptop to download your photos for safe-keeping. Based on the

directly into Photo Safe II to free up expensive memory card
space and reuse your card. When you get home, simply connect

its convenient one-touch “Auto Copy” button,
