Epson P-4000

Radio: No, Recording, Voice: No, Recording, Line In: No, Screen Size: 640 x 480 pixels, Player Type: Portable Media...

Best display on the market. Broad video file format support. Caters well to photographers' needs. Built-in SD and CF slots.

Bulky, expensive, subpar audio quality. No WMA support. Browsing structure is entirely folder-based. Eight-character filename limit. Horrible battery life.

With its built-in card reader, big hard drive, excellent screen, and RAW support, the Epson P-4000 is the best photo viewer on the market, but it won't cut it as a general-purpose portable media player.

Problem with WA compact flash cards

Epson has admitted to me that all their storage devices have problems with loading WA cards e.g. Lexar 133x, Told to watch for a fix.

Epson P-4000 80GB Multimedia Storage Drive, Viewer & Audio/Video Player (3.8-Inch LCD Screen)

Unimaginably slow

I use a Canon 5D and shoot RAW. The files are 12-15 megs each, so they eat up the 8GB of flash fairly quicky. I got this viewer for a trip so I could in effect have 10 8-gig flash cards of backup. On the very first transfer I realized I can't live with...

Epson P-4000 Multimedia Storage Drive

Once you have loaded images into the drive it works very well. The pictures are crisp and easy to see. You can organize pictures in folders which is useful but not initially intuitive to do. It gets easier with more use. A major complaint is that the...

Perfect For Me !!!

Love the Epson P4000. It's perfect for me. I have been afraid of a computer crash for sometime now. So I have been backing up my photos on CD's. Talk about taking a long, long time! I arranged in folders (just the way I wanted them) and loaded...
