In Alaska I used the Hyperdrive HD-80 (www.hyperdrive.com) which uses standard AA batteries, or can be powered by 110v of 12v power. It includes a set of rechargable AA batteries, which are charged by the unit itself. It can be purchaed as a complete unit or without hard drive, which is what I did. Any standard notebook hard drive can be used; I had bought a unused second-hand 80GB notebook drive for it, which worked perfectly. Can use many kinds of memory cards, and has a USB port & cable to transfer the pictures to the computer. No visual confirmation, but the unit does error checks as it copies from the card.
