A Great Investment For Serious Photographers.......2007-09-18

This product is invaluable for anyone who is serious about the security of their digital photos. The bonus is that the Epson 3000 does so much more! What a great surprise to find out I can download my music onto it. I guess I am one of the few that hasn't bought an ipod yet... the other incredible bonus is that it will show your photos as a slideshow & you can use your own songs as a background! WOW!!! I created a file of an unbelievable sunset I shot on my Canon 5D from beginning to end. I shot for about 45 minutes & took about 40 shots. The slideshow was about 20 minutes & is great on the viewer. I found out I could buy a camcorder AV plug & plug it into my television. OMG!!! I stood in my living room & cried. I could not believe how awesome it was to see my photos with my music on my TV!!! My camera is still blowing my mind & now I have a great way to share the photos without having to learn new software on the computer.
The Epson P-3000 isn't as complicated as I thought it would be. The viewer is a good size & is hard to see outside in sunlight, but that hasn't been a problem. It's also a great little viewer to show people your pics. I'm happy!! Just have to figure out how to get the slideshows on a cd or dvd. I took the advice of Scott Kelby The Digital Photography Book on some of his recommended items. I bought the P-3000 right before going on vacation as a means to backup my photos while away from computers. I never had to worry about filling up my card. I occasionally shoot weddings & this is a great way to ensure that you don't lose any shots because your card went bad.
I am very pleased.

As advertised.......2007-09-09

This player is what I was led to believe and look forward to using it on a upcoming trip to Africa. It does download my Lexar Wa compact flash cards both thru the CF port as well as from my camera thru the USB connection.

Great viewer and Storage device!.......2007-08-28

This product met and exceed not only my expectations but the product as well. I no longer need to carry a laptop to download and view the photos. I purchased the large 80 GB model. No problems at all with the battery holding a charge. The viewer is bright and large. The only negative factor is that you can not rename the files. However, that is no problem as the unit adds a new folder for each compact flash card download. I would recommend this product without any hesitation!

Would you buy an MP3 player with the following features:.......2007-08-26

1. Absolutely fabulous sound quality.

2. No playlists whatsoever. The only way you can listen to the songs is in the order of the time date stamp on the mp3 file. And then from the oldest to the newest.

3. The player renames the songs to cryptic 8.3 format names when it imports them. You'll have to remember that ABC12345.mp3 is really "Talkin About My Generation" by the Zimmers.

4. You can't just plug in a flash card and play the songs on it. Oh no. That would be too simple. They let you do that in the P-2000 but now you will have to copy the songs over to the hard drive first. Swell, eh?

Doesn't sound that appealing, does it? Welcome to the wonderful world of Epson programming where the cardinal rule is that if it's useful we'll get rid of it in the next iteration of "improvements."

One important reason to have a picture viewer is to put on a show for yourself and friends or colleagues. Right? Hard to do if you can't define the order the pictures will appear.

Perhaps they didn't intend for it to be used this way? Unlikely. Epson provides an assortment of picture fades and merges so a slide show will appear professional. One only cares about this sort of thing when showing pictures to others. They also provide a TV output. So they clearly intended this as a presentation device but left out any ability to order the slides other than by changing the file modification dates. Not something easy to do, by the way.

Would you buy a slide projector if you knew the only way it would show slides is from the oldest first no matter how you arranged the slides in the tray? I don't think so. But that's what you're getting here.

Imagine you've just taken picture number 350 on your flash card. You insert it into the P-5000 for a quick review. Nope. That won't work. You'll have to scroll through page after page of 349 thumbnails first because the unit shows pictures from the oldest to the newest. Then you'll select the thumbnail (about five minutes and a sore thumb later) and download it to the hard disk. Only THEN can you preview it. How convenient.

The following is a quote from their P-2000 FAQ. It shows you the mentality at work here.

Q:
The display order of my thumbnail images changed after I upgraded the P-2000's firmware from 01.01 to 02.02. How does the new firmware change the way my thumbnail images are displayed?

A:
If your P-2000 has firmware 02.02, *the images are displayed in chronological order, from oldest to newest*, determined by the date and time that the images were created or modified.

If your P-2000 has firmware 01.01, the display order varies depending on how the files were copied to the memory card. If the images were copied from a computer, *the display order will match the sort order that the computer used (by Name, Size, Type, Date Modified, etc)*. If the images were copied directly from a digital camera, they will be displayed in the order the pictures were taken.

Notice that Version 2.02 "improved" the product by making it IMPOSSIBLE to arrange one's files on a PC and then download them to display in that order! Some improvement.

I had to quote from the P-2000 FAQ because the P-5000 was "improved" from the start and never allowed arbitrary picture presentation order. Therefore there was no question to ask.

This product, in my view, is a gorgeous looking piece of programmatic hooey. Just lovely until you try to use it in practical situations and see that it offers such crippled functionality as to be worthless.

Vertical pictures.......2007-08-15

The Epson P3000 is a great storage device. The instruction booklet is very bare bones and basic and at time is so cryptic as to be of little use. When putting a slide show together the unit will not allow picture taken vertically to be shown that way. They are show horizontal. I have been unable to rotate them in the unit. I have also been unable to get the unit to accept the rotation when I use either of two editing programs I have. The unit just will not show them in their correct perspective. Getting music into the is also difficult.
Over all it is a great unit to move pictures from place to place and store them.
I would purchase the unit again and do recommend it.

Problem with WA compact flash cards.......2007-07-09

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.

Unimaginably slow.......2007-02-09

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 it -- it took this device 2.5 hours (!) to import the photos. Once the data was in, the battery was nearly dead.

When viewing files, it takes maybe 15 seconds to populate one screen (about 12 thumbnails) with data. Until that happens the thumbnail slots are blank, so you can't quickly find what you need. Even once cached, it takes several seconds to draw a screenful of thumbnails. For a dedicated device the size of my camera, I expect it to be at least as fast! Instead, it's lethargic. To import 22 RAW files, it took more than 5 minutes -- 14 seconds per photograph, or less than 1MB/sec. What is it doing with all that time?

When viewing RAW files, it only shows the JPEG ewmbedded in the RAW file, so you get no zoom at all. For that, you have to select Jpeg+Raw in the camera, which is a feature I avoid, because it results in twice as many files on my computer, and nearly half the space on the card. I tried that mode, and of course the Epson now takes twice as long to build the thumbnails, and since you now see two identical thumbnails instead of one, you lose half the screen. One thumbnail is zoomable, the other isn't. What Epson should have done is detect that there are two files with the same name, but different extensions -- .cr2 and .jpg, and by default displayed only the .jpg. What photographer would want it any other way?

All in all, this device is just not usable for the high volume of photographs it was designed for.

Epson P-4000 Multimedia Storage Drive.......2007-02-09

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 drive does NOT accomodate all cards. For instance to use a memory stick duo, you must have a CF adapter. Problem...they are very difficult to find, if you can find one! Sony has discontinued them. Some other brands are available but not in USA markets. In addition the adapters are quite expensive.
I found this misleading and problematic given one of the cameras we use.
The newer units may take care of this but at a higher initial purchase cost

Perfect For Me !!!.......2006-10-10

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 into the P4000 about 4000 pictures in about 4 hours. Everything worked just perfect, which is a very good thing for me as I am not a computer geek. I have not used it for video clips or audio and do not plan on doing so. Therefore I can not comment on the use of the P4000 for those applications. I can't wait for my next trip as I can now pull this little gizmo out and show people I talk with my pics of Africa or Russia or China or even my little dog !!!

Very good.......2006-08-30

This takes the place of a laptop to store my images in the field so very satisfactory. I have not had a chance to really try it out but what little I have done is very sharp and it's easy to use. The big screen is great.

Amazingly good deal for a duplex, network printer.......2003-11-29

This product is well designed right down to the packaging. Even the diagrams printed on the box are excellent. At $307, this was by far the cheapest duplex, network printer I could find. Mine arrived with one loose roller that I slid back into place when I noticed it as I was thoroughly going over it before plugging it in. The toner and drum kit had been opened and resealed, probably refurbs or refills. It has an http server as well as a telnet server. The drivers allow putting 1, 2, and 4 pages per sheet. At 37 pages printed lifetime everything still seems too good to be true.

Great Geek Factor.......2001-01-24

I bought this monitor primarily for its geek factor; I wanted to go flat panel and I wanted a pure digital connection. I connected it to a Matrox G400 with a flat panel adapter on it, and installation was a complete breeze. I'm very happy with the image quality, alltho I'm most certainly not a graphics designer. I play alot of Diablo 2 and Baulders gate 2, and my only gripe is it displays an annoying resolution notification when its not in native mode (most games). Its easily cleared, but it is annoying. Image quality is fantastic to my eye, but it does take getting used to that you have to be in front of it to see it (no checking your email while away from the desk; you need to be in front of it to see it well). I had troubles getting my usb devices detected while plugged into the hub, but as I had another hub I didn't try to get them working. Overall, I love the amount of space I got back and am very happy with the monitor, and my friends all turn green with envy when they see it.

Great Camera, No Zoom.......2001-10-10

I bought this camera over two years ago when it sold for over $450. At that time, it was a great deal of a camera. Now, for $450, you can get a camera that I would have paid $1500 at the time. This camera provides great pictures. It has some trouble with coloration during different light conditions, but can be easilly adjusted with graphics editing software (Paint Shop Pro has a function called Automatic Color Balance which performs wonders on photos from this camera). The built-in memory can hold 12 or so high quality pictures. I use this camera a lot and am very happy with it. The only thing I really wish it had was the ability to zoom in and out on objects. Other than that, I would recommend this camera to any new digital photographer.

Great Camera for a great price!.......2001-08-24

I've owned this camera close to 8 months now and I absolutly love it. It was my first digital camera and I purchased it on eBay for $130 after shipping. I purchased a 16 mb compact flash card and I was set. It takes awesome pictures and can be used as a web cam too. Also feels sturdy in your hands. It doesn't eat batteries-actually they last forever. Also it is fast, you don't wait forever in between pictures(I would say 4 seconds on high quality is tops) Only problems I have noticed is that in certain lighting conditions(ie inside with artificial lights) you must change the lighting filter to indoor(even though it has a setting of "auto"), can be troublesome. All in all a great camera! perfect for beginners. This camera has inspired me to look into some more higher end cameras with all the bells and whistles. Digital is great!

FOR THE PRICE, YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER CAMERA!.......2000-01-06

Features and function highlite this great camera offered at a price that will only get you 640x480 and a serial download elswhere. Excellent picture quality, ease of use, and complete with the AC adapter, batteries, case, software, and ALL cables. You cannot go wrong. And Amazon.com got it to me in only 4 days with regular postage the week before Christmas. WHAT A DEAL!

Mustek MDC-800.......2000-01-04

Excellent camera! A lot of others don't like the Mustek cameras. I think the reason for this is they don't know you have to fiddle with the exposure settings, white balance and anything else that has settings. I can print full page pictures without distortions. I can even print clear 4x6 photos using the economy setting! I also have the new Mustek GSmart 350 camera. It is only a 640x480 camera & prints beautiful 4x6 pictures and 5x7's! The key to using these cameras is using all the features in the menu for settings. I also have an HP camera that does beautiful pictures but doesn't have as many settings to help enhance the pictures. Another plus for the Mustek MDC-800 is the ability to print larger photos with a smaller resolution than the HP. I guess Mustek uses a different type of lense then the HP. (The HP does take wonderful pictures too) I also have a photo printer that probably helps the output of these pictures.

Great Pictures, Great Price.......1999-12-31

I bought this camera for Christmas and I have not stopped taking pictures.

The camera has 3 different resolutions, but even the lowest resolution (Economy) produces great resolution and outstanding color.

The Mustek MDC 800 Digital Camera is so easy to use that even my 8 year old son can use it with no previous instruction.

I shopped around and you can't find this camera at a better price anywhere in or out of the web.
