Epson P4000 - Review @ PhotographyBlog
PhotographyBlog’s Mark Goldstein has reviewed the Epson P-4000, a multimedia storage with capacity of 80GB, a huge 3.8″ LCD Screen, with dimensions of 142mm x 23mm x 91.5mm and weighs 415 grams when the battery is fitted.
“The Epson P-4000 Multimedia Storage Viewer is a gorgeously designed device that impresses from the first moment that you first take it out of the box. Resembling the PlayStation Portable gaming device in terms of design layout, the Epson P-4000 is dominated by its 640×480 resolution, 3.8 inch LCD screen, which has 921,600 pixels. It’s difficult to describe how impressive the picture quality is without actually seeing it for real - screen and product shots just don’t do it justice. “

Epson P4000 - Review @ Shutterbug
Shutterbug’s Joe Farace has reviewed the Epson P-4000, a multimedia storage with capacity of 80GB, a huge 3.8″ LCD Screen, and measuring 3.3″x5.8″x1.2″.
“Battery life is estimated at two to three hours depending on what kind of media—photos, video, or music—you’re using. When loading images I always used the AC adapter, but when viewing used the built-in lithium ion batteries and the P-4000 never let me down. The P-4000 may not be the perfect tool for a week-long backpacking trip in the high country, but a laptop needs to be recharged, too, and is lots heavier.”
