Epson has widened its range of tools for photographers, introducing the P-7000 and P-6000 Photoviewers.
These feature high capacity - 160GB and 80GB - hard drives, and incorporate a large 4-inch 640-x-480 Epson Photo Fine Premia LCD screen.
Mark Robinson, business manager at Epson UK said: “Despite the fact that most cameras have viewing screens, it can sometimes be difficult to distinguish areas of sharp focus, graininess and lighting quality until the images are uploaded onto a computer. These new products tackle this problem by enabling photographers to view their images in fine detail regardless of where they are.” The devices offer a wider viewing angle and wide colour gamut covering 94 per cent of the Adobe RGB colour space. The devices can also be used in conjunction with Photoshop as a USB-wide gamut display. Additional features include the facility to conduct ad-hoc raw development on the viewer and print out the final image via PictBridge. Advanced software features allow users to edit and trim images and apply watermarking to photographs. The photographer can now choose between full or differential backup, giving the option to transfer all the data from the memory card to the viewer or just new files.
The devices feature sharp 4-inch LCD screens. The P-7000 ships with accessories including a battery charger which enables two batteries to be charged simultaneously, an in-car charger and a carrying case. Both the P-6000 and P-7000 are compatible with a broad range of memory cards including CF and SD, and also have USB ports. JPEG and RAW images from all major camera manufacturers are supported. The Epson P-6000 costs 449.99 and the Epson P-7000 is 549.99. Prices exclude VAT, products ship September.
