  Duration of ownership: 2 Years

  Strengths: Beautiful screen.

  Weaknesses:Glitches everywhere in the software, asenine programming, terrible support.

  Overall Evaluation: I have had nothing but problems. I have 35 GB of photos on this that I cannot copy off. Every time I connect it to my computer, it freezes and the only way to fix it is to remove the usb cable from the unit. I have an entire 17-day trip to Europe (about 4500 photos) that I will never get. I have called support many, many times and they tell me it

  Strengths: Clear display and big capacity

  Weaknesses:A little heavey and thick.

  Overall Evaluation: Nice stuff, I like it because 1. The 40G capacity. I do not need another CF card for my Canon 20d during travel. 2. Very big and sharp display. It is absolutely attactive to every one. 3. You can view DVD after transfering file to AVI. Format. 4. Music is not bad though not super. It also has some disadvatages: 1. A little heavy and thick. 2. Epson do not provide software to transfer the DVD file, you have to find some by yourself. 3. Battery only can stand around 3 hours. Not a big deal. No addtional charger available from Epson. You have to charge the battery with the machine.

  Strengths: Biggest screen and two-slots

  Weaknesses:A little heavy, fair sound quality and high price

  Overall Evaluation: I compare the product with its competitor for 1.5 months. And fianlly I decide to buy this since: 1. The best screen in the marekt.Very sharp and vivid. 2. High capacity :40G. It should be enough for 5-6 days travel. 3. It could store and read RAW formart. I didn't other machine can do that. 5. Two interior slots for SD and CF card so as my wife and I could share the viewer during our travel. 6. It could store DVD and MP4 for your entertainment when you are on the road. Its shortcoming: 1. Fair sound. 2. Video format is limited. You have to convert it by yourself. EPSON do not provide software to do that. 3. A little thick.

  Strengths: Possibly the best screen on a portable storage device, has the ability to play audio and video, built in card readers, 2.5" hard drive makes it possible to hack/upgrade amount of HD storage.

  Weaknesses:Software could be better, limitations on what you can watch and listen to, must use a seperate program to convert video files, somewhat slow transfer rates from memory card.

  Overall Evaluation: This is an overall good product. I used it recently on a shoot instead of buying more memory cards. I transfered 3 1GB ultra 2 cards without the battery draining to 75%. Transfer rates from the cards were slow however (roughly about 6-10 minutes). This is because the P2000 scans the card, makes sure it has enough storage space for it, transfers the card, verifies that the data has been transfered, and deletes the card.If you're looking for a good video/mp3 player, I would look elsewhere. I feel that this product was meant more for photographers. If you want to play a video, you're going to search for a program that can convert your videos to a format that the P2000 can play. Thats not to say that it cannot play videos well. In fact, once you figure out how to get them to play, this makes a great travel companion.

  Duration of ownership: 60 Days

  Strengths: - High resolution - Sharp pictures - Built in rechargeable battery

  Weaknesses:- Price- A bit slow to cache the images for the first time- Limited video file format

  Overall Evaluation: A nice quality picture viewer, which you won't see it from your digital camera. 40 GB internal HD. Expensive, but quality built. A little bit slow to load pictures for the first time. Wish it can play various movie files, not limited to MPEG4 or M-JPEG only.
