 Deleting files July 11, 2010
georgehd
I have an older model of this device and have used it for a number of years. It is an excellent product.
However, the buyer must understand how to really delete a file. I was under the impression that if I deleted on the Epson by hitting the delete button that the file would be gone. It is not. It is still there but you cannot see it.
I realized this when my Epson had no memory left and I had no files on it. You have to hook up the epson to a computer and then empty the trash bin on the computer. That procedure actually removes the files from the device and your memory space is restored.
 Outrageous cost of repair June 11, 2010

Epson USA wants a flat fee of $300 to repair this viewer device that costs $399 new. Buy a viewer today and after the warrenty expires you will pay 75% of MSRP to have it repaired. Another item for the landfill.
 Did not work for me March 30, 2010

Ok, if the veiwer that I had received had actually worked I think I would have loved it. The pictures that I was able to download looked good, but the process of naming a file was long and painful, then I ended up with two copies of pictures, one in back up then one in my pictures so it somewhat defeats the purpose of saving space as the reason I bought this was not for the field, but to save space on my pc. Heres another thing to think about I had to spend allmost TWO HOURS on the phone with epson starting out with 20 mins on hold before my call was answered then almost an hour with some dingleberry who must have thought I could not read the instructions because in broken english he read the instructions to me and asked me to follow them, although he missed a step or two and I had to help him, what the heck did he think I had done before calling him, anyway when he had exhausted his english reading skill he then put me on hold (without asking or telling me, just boom music) for another 20 min then came back on line and turned me over to an actual technician who knew how to work the veiwer and after spending 30 mins with her she gave me a reference number to give to amazon so I could return the broken vewier, so I guess good luck, hope you get one that works!!!
 Download Pictures to device for ease of transport January 24, 2010
M. Archambeault (woodstock, ga)
Purchased this product to give me the ability to download pictures and movies to a device that is easy to bring with me and not have to worry about having my Mac with me when i went on vacation. This device is easy to use and has great picture quality. It is a great device for showing pictures when you do not have your Mac or PC available. Directions on use for transporting pictures and movies can be improved.
The Link2 software cannot find my pictures or movies that are stored in the iPhoto application on my mac. In order to copy images and moves, including songs, I have to do a straight drag and drop from my Mac to the Epson P3000.
I currently have an open issue with support due to movie sound playing at a fast rate (sounds like the chipmunks). Support things the new firmware 1.3.2 is what may be causing the issue. Still waiting for the 1.3.1 firmware to be available.
Overall, I'm pleased with the Epson P3000. I gave the Epson P300 a 4 star rating due to the open issue. Without the open issue, I would have given this device a 5 star rating.

I recently switched from a 15" to a 17" laptop, which meant that, under no circumstances, would I be hauling my computer around with me on any phototrip. This in turn meant that I had to look elsewhere for backup. I'd considered buying one of these multimedia storage devices previously, but found the price to be a little steep. Now that I have one (the 80GB P-6000) I really, really like it, and, actually, don't think it too dear.
The size of the thing is just about perfect. It feels very well in your hands, the screen is bright and contrasty, the controls are very intuitive and all in the right place (although I haven't actually tried it yet, I should think that one can operate this device with gloves on). Backing up your files from a CF or SD card is simple and quick, and reviewing them on the device is equally easy. I haven't tested it to the proverbial limit yet, so I shant be able to say anything clever about the battery life and performance in extreme conditions, but it seems rather well built. I haven't tried (or will ever, probably) all the music/video functions of the apparatus, as I have no need for them, but I suspect it performs well as a multimedia player as well. I mean, the screen is quite lovely, so I guess video would look decent on it.
I guess this is another one of those products that actually do what it says on the label. It stores your data when in the field, and it does it well. It fits into virtually any bag, and is one of those things that any photographer on a lengthy trip should never be without.
Highest possible recommendation.
