Viewing and displaying my latest shots was much easier for me than for other photographers participating in the Asian Diver Mag shootout last week. The P2000 is faster and more portable than even the smallest laptops.

I've happily used a Nixvue Visa for the last few years. 20GB hard disk, accepts CF and micodrives without an adaptor, small-ish and highly portable; multi-voltage mains adaptor. Then only drawback is that reviewing RAW images is painfully slow. I use Brad's method: review in camera, delete the obvious garbage and then move the remainder to the Nixvue for later detailed review on a laptop.
But there is nothig like having your laptop with you to savour the good pics - and then burn a back-up CD/DVD before you get on the plane home.

Is Epson P2000 compatible with RAW files? You can storage them but can you see them? Or you use the jpegs to find the best photos?

Looks a bit plasticky, but has followed me around the world so far.

I was living in Bermuda when I bought the Nixvue. There was no local dealer so I got on to Nixvue directly and they sold me two reconditioned Vistas for about $400! My dive buddy had one, I had the other - and they have been as good as gold. But that Epson P2000 looks seriously tempting.
I checked the Epson site a few minutes ago for RAW. They certainly handle Nikon and Canon RAW......

If you already have an ipod, this is an inexpensive way of being able to free up your CF card and take a look at your results.. THe Epson looks cool though if you're planning to invest in a new solution..

The name is Wolverine. Has a 60gb hard drive and all I did in my last trip was to get a card in it, get my other card out of it and in the camera. That's all, no deletions, just keep everything and at home or whenever you have a chance you conect it to any computer and read it like an external hard drive.
The price was aprox $235.
The battery seems to be enoug for a 4 gb compact flash.
I'm sure you can find a ton of info if you just google "Wolverine"

You can use whatever 2.5 inch HD you want however the current firmware will support HD upto only 130 GB. Someone who has it told me that on a single charge, he can download well over 10 GB easily.
For LCD version, I think Epson is probably still the best out there currently but I believe it takes about 8 minutes to download 1 GB (also depending on CF card).

It was convenient to show pix to others but had to make sure they did not touch the buttons - the one on the bottom (facing holder) takes you back to the 'homepage' of the gadget and is easy to touch when holding the P2000.
Scrolling for images on the HD of the P2000 is quite a bit slower than doing so on the CF card still in a D70 or D2H. The zoom function only works on jpegs, too bad.
Improvements should include faster processor, larger drive, and better interface ergonomics. Hopefully 'Moore's law' will apply to this class of gadget.

and here is a review
http://www.phidong.c...ives/000405.php
no image viewing but it takes standard laptop harddives, loads of life on AA batteries (somebody stated they managed 70GB on one charge on one of the high capacity units) - and look at those blazing transfer speeds.....
love to hear from anyone who has used this
Steve
