My mother's family had a weird occurrence in the old house she grew up in though. They used to hear the front door open and someone enter the house and walk up the stairs. It happened often but no one was ever there. They sold the house when my mom was 11 or 12...it was torn down not long afterwards and a body of a sailor (still in it's uniform) was found under the floorboards in the attic. Also a true story....

Reminds me of a story about my grandfather. He was a keen fisherman. One day, he was fishing in the river with his friend and snagged something heavy on his hook. He eventually dragged it up (beleiving it to be some weed or something). Then up drifted the naked body of a young woman. Naturally enough, his friend completely freaked, so my grandada told him to go off and call the police while he tied the unfortunate body up (by het long flowing blond hair) to his keepnet.

His friend was gone a while (well, they were a fair way from town). So what does my grandfather do? He carried on fishing. Pretty laid back, my grandfather.

Was there no investigation as to who the sailor was?

I asked my mom that. She said, not to her knowledge.

Did you yell at him to get out Cat?

Nah. I figured it was his house too. ;)

So what does my grandfather do? He carried on fishing.

:shock:

Well, what else could he do while he waited? He sure wasn't going to let his time go to waste...

P5000 looks tastey... Spendy though! Can you delete with it?

A bit off track here (forgive me), I know some of you guys have a portable HD/Card reader thingy.

My old GigaOne is very slow at copying shots off. Are you pleased with the speed of yours. What have you got?

I have an Epson too, although an earlier one. Back then it was pretty trendy and new - I was thrilled to have ordered it and thrilled to get it and horrified by how long it takes to transfer images. Aside from that and how large the plug/transformer (darn British plug) are I have no compaints with it. I just carry a card to shoot on while the other is downloading. ;)

So, how long would it take to copy 200 RAW files to the P-5000?

Dunno - I have the P2000 and it sounds like the 5000 is a far deal faster. :)

yeah, that's what we do...carry extra cards and shoot with those while the p4000 is downloading. The main things I hate about it are the time it takes to download...the fact that you can't zoom raw to view it & the fact that it changes your photo filenames to an epson filename rather than your camera filename.

The P-3000 is identical with a smaller HD and a smaller price.

It doesn't have a delete option. I wish it did.
It is fairly fast. (of course, I don't have anything to compare it to) It'll copy a full 2G card of RAW files in about 2-3 minutes.
The screen is awesome. I use it for clients all the time... finish shooting, slap the card into the Epson, and they can scroll through them. It will browse the CF card without copying it too.

It displays beautiful color even with the RAW files.

Sometimes scrolling through the shots there will be a lag, but not enough to worry about. It's fairly quick.

wow, that's WAY faster than the 4000!!
the screen is awesome on the 4000 too (it was the reason we bought it)...

I forgot about the file name thing... :confused: That is annoying. To be honest, on my last 2 trips I didn't take mine with me. I think it is going to morph into a music/movie toy for the children. If I take my laptop I don't need it. I'd rather just have more cards for day trips.

Oh and if your file is too big - it won't display it as anything other than a thumbnail on the P2000). They may have fixed that on the newer models.

Under 5 minutes.

All those problems were fixed with the new model.
You can zoom RAW
Faster downloading time
doesn't change file name.

What do you mean by delete option?

about the screen - yes - it is fabulous! Even by today standards the P2000 screen kicks butt.

Sounds like what my Dad would have done.

If he was fishing in a competition, I bet it caused a stir at the weigh in :o

You can't delete files once they are copied to the epson. And you can't delete files from the CF card. Unless it is hooked up to the computer.
