What a cool product: Epson P-2000

February 5th, 2005

In researching for a PSD substitute for my Tripper, I end up with in love with this cute gadget,: Epson P-2000. Seems Epson get a right product to fill in the niche market: digital photographers. Make sure you click the interactive demo link on this product page. link

This device really shines at:
1. good battery life, it is equiped with 2300 mAh battery, which is good for six-eight 1G card transfer, definitely enough for a few days at my current shooting speed. (normally I shoot with RAW, usually 2G/day). Well, I have seen people successfullly DIY extended battery with AA battery, which is cheap!
2. large AND FINE screen, let me quote dpreview.com,

giving a resolution of 212ppi at 262,000 colors. You certainly can’t see any pixels with the naked eye, and the quality is simply amazing.

3. built in Mpeg4 movie and mp3 music play… this is really nice add-on, although I doubt I’ll use that. spec says it can play Divx/mpeg4 etc for 3 hours, maybe I’ll try it when my laptop batter is out.
4. large 40GB storage for photos, and with CF/SD interface built in, it uses 2.5 in hard drive, so I can swap for a 100GB HD whenever I get extra money to burn.

wow.. what a wonderful gadget, I sure hope to get this thing before my Swiss/Italian trip this may so that I don’t need my laptop in my luggage.
