5 out of 5 stars Great photo backup device, pretty good Movie and music Player   March 21, 2007
Michael Kaufman (Chicago, IL United States)

I just received this yesterday, and it is better then I had hoped for. Bonuses include:

1) While there is no stated support for 4GB SDHC cards, they work without a hitch.

2) While there is no stated support for XViD encoded file, they also work perfectly.

As a photo backup and viewing device, it is a solid five stars. It imports the pictures quickly, it displays them beautifully and it allows me to see the Exif data on the device. The OS, while not very complex, is smart about where it keeps new pictures. I also appreciate that the hard drive is so large. I currently have about 30GB of digital images, and I now carry my entire library with me. Another backup location is always appreciated.

As a movie player it is also very good 4+ stars. Not as good as the current generation of Archos for example, but as a secondary function, it is more then acceptable. Pictures are clear and volume is loud enough that you can use it without headphones if you had to. With one exception, I didn't notice any jumping or skipping in the movies I tried out. It does have a few minuses as a movie player:

1) No support for AC3 audio.
2) Since the screen is 4 inches but 640x480, widescreen movies are smaller then they would be on a 4 inch 480x272. The flip side of this is that non-widescreen movies (ie TV shows) are bigger on the P5000.
3) Quicktime doesn't work very well at all. Lots of jumping and skipping. It might have been just the two I tried.

On the plus side, every AVI - whether Divx or XViD - worked like a charm. Every MP4 files I tried also worked.

I give this a solid five stars because in its primary function it is as good as it can be. For its secondary functions (movie and music player) it is still quite good.

Highly recommended.




5 out of 5 stars Freed me from having an assistant!   May 16, 2007

I am a wedding and portrait photographer, and this has saved me from having to hire an assistant to upload images onto my laptop. This is so easy to use, especially in travel. I just pop in the card, keep shooting while it is uploading in the bag around my shoulder, and then later, i can click through the images and delete the ones i want to get rid of.
I did run into one problem when i was trying to create a thumbnail for a session i uploaded. It froze, and we had to use the reset button. But, other than that (which i didn't really need to do, just playing around), it is great! Worth every penny!



5 out of 5 stars Epson P-5000 is wonderful   March 11, 2007

I am amazed about the versatility and speed the new P-5000. Downloading a 6GB CF card took less time than my desk computer. The 4-inch screen is very sharp and great for movies and photos. I hooked it up to a portable Epson printer and quick printed test photos. The only draw back is the battery drain, be sure to keep a spare.

Just got this unit yesterday. It has an excellent 4 inch display. The unit reads Compact Flash cards and transfers images very fast. The ergonomics of it are also great and its very easy to use. Seems to work fine with Canon RAW files. Has Histogram display.


5 out of 5 stars Freedom from Prints   May 7, 2007

Normally, this item is first thought of as a backup device and portable slide show machine. But its the viewer part that drew me. This item lets me be free of prints to share images with my family and friends outside of a computer terminal. If there are particular favorites people like, I can make prints or enlargements after reviewing the all the images in the bright, hi-res viewer. Fantastic! And you cannot beat the small size for so many images.
