Epson announces P-7000 and P-6000 photo viewers. Cameras, Digital photo frames, Epson 0

Epson has announced two new generation multimedia photo viewers that have been designed with photographers on the go in mind.

The P-6000 and the P-7000 offer photographers the opportunity to download and view their photos on a 4-inch, 640x480 (VGA) resolution LCD screen, while also offering them the peace of mind of a compact, on-location back-up for their images.

The screen on the two new viewers has been advanced to a new benchmark compared to previous models, with the introduction of Photo Fine Premia. Adobe RGB colour space is now increased to 94% coverage, rather than the 88% in previous models.

Download speeds are also up to 35% faster than previous models for added productivity. With hard drive capacities of 80GB in the P-6000 and 160GB in the P-7000, thousands of even RAW image files can be backed up wherever images are captured for peace of mind and security.

With a user-friendly interface, Epson’s multimedia photo viewers give on-the-go photographers the ability to zoom in on both RAW and JPEG images, confirm histogram data and create custom folders – all without needing to bring a laptop to remote, or even hostile locations.

Both models also support video and audio file storage and playback, but a little exlcusive for the P-7000 only is a Travel Pack including dual battery charger and car adapter for enhanced portability.

Both models will be available in September for an estimated street price of $599.99 for the P-6000 and $799.99 for the P-7000. No details on European dates or pricing but they're yours when we get them.

  • Why does one get such a device?

    To dump memory-cards onto.

    That is its primary point.

    The SANHO devices come in 250GB size, and that holds, oh, 50+% more than these things, AND costs significantly less, too.     Posted by Captain Obvious, Here
  • Some devices do things better than others.. This might be one of the good ones? Posted by Sin, Sin
  • BHPhoto in NY has the P-6000 in stock as of the 9th of Sept, 08. Just ordered mine.

    This is a specialized product used by serious photographers who mainly shoot in the field, away from home (and mommy!).

  • I say: You get what you pay for. I've experienced PAINFUL data loss using a cheaper model. Of course! you should always BACKUP your backup (just in case) double storage saves the pain! Epson is not only a brand name it holds up to its reputation. If you are serious in photography you will understand. I'm sure you were into cars you'd get a BMW rather than a Hyundai (for that matters), right? so if you already spend some serious $ into your gear might as well get this one too then you have something less to worry about. That's just my personal opinion and point of view. I got mine. I can afford it. I think our work should be god enough to pay for it. If not, well, then too bad! I bet if you have the dough you will.
