MO Storage Means Mo Safety

Fujitsu DynaMO 640U2 Photo

Anyone who photographs for a living needs at least four megapixels. Even in compact format, 3 megapixels can now be considered the default. By necessity, this leads to the question of whether 640 MB are even enough for traveling. From our own experience we can say that this amount of memory will only last an active amateur photographer about 5-10 days. Anyone who is on the road for longer should have one or two additional storage media on hand. After all, the selection of pictures that "didn't turn out" is simply impossible without a usable display.

Another advantage over the "normal" DynaMO is the considerably shorter search time of 25 ms, made possible by the faster interface and the higher rotation speed of 3,600 rpm.

At about 550 grams, the DynaMO 640U2 Photo may be heavier than the DynaMO 640, but almost checkmates the latter thanks to its card reader and clearly better performance.
