 external storage for on the go people July 11, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Has a major shortcoming for me.I telephoned Epson to ask abput the compatability with my Canon EOS Ds1.I was told that it was fully compatible. However I find that it only stores the JPEG images and not the Raw images.On the Canon EOS Ds Mark 11 it is fully compatible.
Otherwise it performed perfectly on a recent trip to the Norweegian Fjords,where I took over 1000 images,backing them up quickly even though it was only the JPEG images..it was still an insurance to have the second backup to my Laptop.
Great for storage, good for viewing June 29, 2006

I wanted this device as backup storage for my photos after my computer crashed and I lost most of my pictures once already. So far, this device is exactly what I needed. The LCD screen is large and beautiful. Copying and deleting large files is slow, but the P-4000 holds 80 GB so there is plenty of storage space. The biggest problem for me is that high resolution videos will not play. However, they are still stored, and therefore saved if my computer crashes, and smaller video files will play. Also, with high resolution pictures, viewing is slow. It can store as much as my computer and it yet is so small and portable. It is very simple to use with memory cards or a PC. The screens and menues are also user friendly. I love this device and I would recommend it to anyone. The only drawback is slow viewing and inability to view large video files.
 Not reliable enough for photo backups on the go June 21, 2006

This is a nice portable viewer but do not buy it to use to copy photos from your memory cards in the field, it is not reliable enough for that. I stored over 13 gigs of photos on it during a recent trip and two folders of over 300 photos "disappeared". I could not view or download the photos. I thought they were lost or corrupted, but I was able to recover them using the $200 OnTrack Easy Recovery Program. Although it was the only way I would have recovered my photos, Epson later told me not to use it. I also had problems with the battery not charging within the first week and even problems running the unit on AC power. All this happened in the first month I had the unit, but Epson would not refund or replace the unit. I sent it to them for warranty service and it came back quickly with no explanation of what they did. I have no confidence I can save photos to this unit as backup, which is the reason I bought it. If you are willing to spend this much on a portable viewer, it is excellent, but if you want a reliable tool to backup photos on the go, DON'T BUY THIS EPSON P-2000 or P-4000, stick with a laptop.
 Works as advertised June 11, 2006

Easy to use and pretty darn fast. Highly recommended for vacation trips where downloading photos each evening is a must.
Only downside is realtively short battery life. Assume you should plug in to do lots of downloading.
Helped me ditch my laptop April 3, 2006

Instead of lugging my 9.5 lb (4 kg) laptop on our last cruise, I brought this along to download the daily "rushes" from our trip. The bright 3.8 inch screen let me review the pictures as well as backing them up. It's great, I payed full price but you don't need to.
