The EPSON P-2000 not only enables users to view, store and playback photos, videos and music, but has a 3.8” LCD screen which offers great image quality.

In addition to its high-resolution screen, the EPSON P-2000 can store thousands of photos from digital cameras with its built-in 40 GB hard drive.

Epson Photo Fine Technology
Epson has incorporated its extensive LCD technology and experience into devices such as AV projectors, TVs, digital cameras, cellular telephones and PDAs.

Epson is continuing to build on its reputation for image quality with the Epson P-2000 and its 3.8” VGA Epson LCD screen, which incorporates Epson’s proprietary Photo Fine Technology. This portable product displays a photo superior to that seen on most digital cameras and other viewers, which provide a smaller and less image.

To make viewing photos even more convenient, you can zoom in and rotate images to inspect them closely. You can also create a slideshow with music for a fun and creative way to view and share images. For sharing images on an even bigger screen, the multimedia storage viewer has a video interface—NTSC or PAL—that can connect directly to a television, monitor or projector with an optional third party video cable.

The EPSON P-2000 is equipped with a 40 GB hard drive for storing thousands of images as large as 8.9 megapixels and is designed with a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interface for easily and quickly transferring photos, videos and audio files to and from a computer. It supports JPEG and select RAW image files, MPEG4 and Motion JPEG video files, plus MP3 and AAC audio files.

With its large storage capacity, you can copy files to the EPSON P-2000 from the memory card and clear the memory card immediately to begin taking more pictures. When all of the images have been downloaded to the multimedia storage viewer from the memory card, the viewer can then be connected to a computer to back up the images to ensure they are saved.

With its built-in memory card slots, the EPSON P-2000 is compatible with most digital camera memory types. It offers native support for CompactFlash Type I and II and Secure Digital memory cards and supports additional cards with an optional third-party adapter (sold separately).

While both Windows and Macintosh compatible, the P-2000 wouldn’t be a complete photographer’s tool without the ability to print directly to a printer. This versatile product offers the capability to print directly to select Epson printers. The EPSON P-2000 also supports PRINT Image Matching II and Exif 2.2 (Exif Print) for achieving quality prints with no fuss. The EPSON P-2000 is a lightweight, battery-powered device that is easy to travel with and comes with one lithium ion battery and charger/AC adapter.

The EPSON P-2000 is available for $499. For more information on Epson and its products visit the company’s Web site at www.epson.com.
