News & Reviews: Canon Connect Station CS100 review

Jan 09, 2015
Canon has just made sharing captured images and videos from its cameras a lot easier. The Japanese multinational was present at CES 2015 and unveiled a new media sharing hub called the Canon Connect Station CS100. This is not a surprising announcement from the company as a similar device was rumored to hit the markets a few months back, which went by the name of Canon Cross Media Station. The CS100 looks like the refined version of this earlier leaked product. Canon markets the hub as a photo storage device, but it can do much more than just storing images and videos. The hub lets users transfer, view and share the content inside on a large screen TV or even a monitor with an HDMI connection. Transferring images and videos on this networked hub is easy, thanks to the NFC support and the inbuilt SD card, USB and Ethernet ports. The station offers a 1TB hard drive, Wi-Fi, NFC and a wireless remote. The provided software sorts the images and videos by the date, camera model and custom albums. With more NFC enabled cameras entering the market, the Canon Connect Station CS100 could prove a valuable addition to your gadget list. Canon will launch the storage station sometime in June 2015 for $299 (RM1070). No plans for a Malaysia release date have been announced so far.
