I'm loving my new Nikon D50. They're pretty cheap now, at around $600 or so. You can see some of the shots I've taken via my link below (they were cropped, but they are full size) to see their picture quality. The best $600 I've ever spent!  |

Tony,Yes, I have seen the P2000 and also the newer P4000 units (the 4000 basically just has a larger capacity AFAIK). These have an incredible display, but according to dpreview there are some "shortcomings" as well. The file naming convention appears to be a bit "clumsy" and outdated, and it's surprising that Epson wouldn't have cleaned this up a bit when designing the product? Not sure if you've seen the Review, but if not check www.dpreview.com/reviews/epsonp2000/page6.asp for further information. I'm also struggling with a decision on whether to take a portable hard drive on my trip, or whether to use local photo shops to burn CD's? At this point I've "shortlisted" the P2000 and the FlashTrax XT as possible choices. The minor deficiencies of the P2000 are certainly not "deal breakers", but I'm leaning more towards the FlashTrax as it appears this product has an exceptional level of support. I've seen more than a few comments on various photo boards and from what I can gather the customer support dept. at Smartdisk issues frequent software upgrades and responds quickly to user difficulties. However, the interface with FlashTrax also appears to be a bit "kludgy" in some ways. It seems there isn't a "perfect" product of this type on the market yet? I had also considered a portable CD Burner such as the Apacer Disk Steno, but don't want to be bothered with packing a bunch of CD's around with me, mailing some home, etc. For me the PHD is a "cleaner" solution. Glad to hear you're enjoying your D70. I'm still trying to become famiiar with my 350D (hope to post some great photos of Europe when the time comes!). Cheers!!!

Tony, thanks for posting that link. I haven't seen that particular hard drive before, but will do a bit of checking and see if I can find some reviews or whatever. Be sure and let us know how it works for you during your travels.
