Rating: - Problem with WA compact flash cards
Epson has admitted to me that all their storage devices have problems with loading WA cards e.g. Lexar 133x, Told to watch for a fix.
Rating: - Unimaginably slow
I use a Canon 5D and shoot RAW. The files are 12-15 megs each, so they eat up the 8GB of flash fairly quicky. I got this viewer for a trip so I could in effect have 10 8-gig flash cards of backup. On the very first transfer I realized I can't live with it -- it took this device 2.5 hours (!) to import the photos. Once the data was in, the battery was nearly dead.

Everything worked just perfect, which is a very good thing for me as I am not a computer geek. I have not used it for video clips or audio and do not plan on doing so. Therefore I can not comment on ... Read More
Rating: - Very good
This takes the place of a laptop to store my images in the field so very satisfactory. I have not had a chance to really try it out but what little I have done is very sharp and it's easy to use. The big screen is great.
