Epson P-4000 review

If you don't trust your memory card to hold your holiday snaps the P-4000 is a great way to back-up and edit them before you get home

If you prolifically hammer your camera’s shutter button while on holiday, you’ll need a gadget to back-up and show off your reams of high-res snaps. Most portable media players can do a passable job, but Epson’s dedicated gizmo trumps them all.

Better than the naked eye

Why’s the P-4000 better than an iPod Video for photo storage? The main reason is that gorgeous screen. Not only is it 3.8in, but the 640×480 pixel resolution will pick out all the fine detail you spotted with your naked eye.

The other big bonuses are the built-in card SD card reader – just pop your camera’s card in and you’re away – and the 80GB storage, which can store thousands of JPEGs.

It’s not so hot on portable media player duty thanks to a poor battery life – you’ll be lucky to get a few hours out of it – its bulky dimensions and under-par audio quality, but no other pocketable box is a better partner for your camera.
