Creative's new Zen Vision. MP3 Player, Photo and video storage.

Looks really nice, removable Lion battery, built in CF reader, FM radio & recorder, USB 2.0, Magnesium case.

Hmmm... I might have to sell the iPopd for this thing.

Only supports .jpeg the Epson P-2000 supports RAW. It would still work as a storage device but you couldn't view your RAW files, assuming you shoot in RAW of course. It looks like more and more of these multi-purpose are coming into the market, maybe some price drops getting closer to Christmas?? I can only hope.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to lay my hands on one of these before I go to Botswana middle of October. Since the Epson doesn't really support my Olympus .orf files, this will be just as good. Since I'm very pleased with the in camera JPEG I usually shoot RAW+SHQ JPEG, so that I can choose either to go with the in camera shot (about 80%), or do some additional tweaking with the RAW file. So I'd have a pretty good idea on the image just by viewing the JPEGs. As I understand, this one should be a bit cheaper than the Epson. And have FM Radio to boot. :):

If it copies off everything from under the DCIM folder on a CF card (RAW & jpg), I would be happy! I'll view the images later on a real computer to do the developing. Just like the idea of in the field storage.

If all you need, is offline storage, wouldn't something like the Nexto CF (http://www.nextodi.com/english/02product/product_01.html) be something for you? It's fast, compact, and about half the price of something that combines storage with a viewer.

How'd you know the P-2000 is better than this?? The Zen Vision is not even released yet...

Because it doesn't support RAW?

[marlof]

But it has FM Radio! :D


Neither supports .orfs, so i'm pretty indifferent there.
