I haven't used the H320 much for camera-business yet. But the battery should be adequate for most with 16 hours (for music). With the batterypack, you got 50 more hours, which definitely should be enough.

But the transfer from card/camera to H320 is slow. I guess it's 7-10 minutes for a 256 mb compact flash card.

Wow...7-10 minutes are very slow...
Anyway, it seems the player have a very good battery life. It's definitely enough for me.

chck out the new archos gmini400, that seem like a good deal. unfortunately i think 20gb is not enough for a multimedia player.

Just found H340 goes for $550 at warehouse123.com. I'm going to order it tonight. JensL, one more question. Are you using the H320 with Europe firmware? Can you get the radio to work?

I'm actually using the Korean 1.06 firmware now. You can choose whatever radio region you want. Originally it came with 1.03E (european). There's no problem in using the Korean firmware.

I found it using www.misticriver.net.

The two main things I´ll need for the the next vacation is: 1. hdd mp3-player 2. some sort of image-tank On my list are: ARCHOS AV420 - 20gb - can be used as an image tank - can playback and record movies Thomson Lyra PDP 2860 - 20 gb - pretty much the same as the archos - but bigger and no cradle and no remote? ARCHOS Gmini 220 - 20 GB - quite small And now the ones that can´t be used as an image tank - I would have to buy an x-drive 2 or somthing like that to store the photos from my digicams sd card: iRiver iHP-120-S - 20 GB - small Creative Jukebox Zen Xtra - 30 GB - big PHILIPS HDD100 - 15GB - quite small - looks great - but "only" 15gb Rio Karma - 20 GB - quite big - nice features Creative Zen Touch - 20 GB - looks boring - big (for an mp3-only player) Apple iPod 4G. - 20/40GB - Lots of accessories - ... Don´t forget I would have to buy the X-DriveII for the above player that´ll cost additional 90$ Please help me My gf already gone mad cauz of me reading the forum all day long Thanks a lot Oh I should mention that I´ll use my shure e2c´s with one of those (hopefully )

Hi Smuh,

If you decide for an iRiver HD120 I can save you a bundle, I got a BRAND NEW in the original box that was opened by me out of curiosity, every wire and or part is in the original plastic envelope. If yo are interested I can let it go for $250 plus shippimg to Germany
good luck
