 Awesome - it really works - use small cards though June 9, 2008
Barbara C. Hodgson (Chicago)
I bought this to take to Europe and it was the best. the only down side is that it will not read a 2 gig card but other than that - it was wonderful. We downloaded the cards everyday and went off shooting the next - did not need the computer and did not have to carry tons of cards. We spent a month in Europe - took two cameras - 8 cards - 6 were 1 gig or less and took over 10,000 high resolution photos - perfect- well worth the investment.
 Support and repair are sub par November 27, 2007

The Epson P2000 and family are not properly supported by epson. You cannot send the device to Epson for repair, even under warranty. You have to use an "authorized Service Center." In the Boston area I was given 4 service centers to choose from. 3 had no idea what a p2000 was and would not repair or support it. The 4th was a horror story in itself. Months of effort to get the repair and return. They could not repair it so had to send it to a repair facility (Epson). But had no idea of how to do so. Calling Epson was little help because the help desk cannot talk to the internal repair facility or check on the repair status. Only the Authorised service center can. Months of trying finally had the device returned to me and the screen failed within a short time just after the warranty ran out. I was given the option of taking it back to the "authorised repair facility" which I have sworn will never get my business again. So... I have pulled the drive out of it, pulled my files off of it. and it sits in a drawer as an expensive reminder of what not to trust.
Too Many Gotchas August 23, 2007

The P-2000, at first, seems wonderful. But over time the warts begin to appear.
This device can be attached to you PC as a hard drive. However, it cannot be USED as a hard drive. Deleting files, changing folders, defragmenting, or formatting the P-2000 can render it inoperable.
Because of the above, deleting image files is a laborious process. It took me 1/2 hour to delete, one by one, the many folders I created during a one-month vacation. Why doesn't Epson provide a DELETE ALL?
There is a known incompatibility with newer Lexar CF cards, and Epson has no plans to correct this problem. (The Lexar cards work fine in the camera and on the PC).
I recommend against purchasing this, or any other, Epson multimedia storage drive. Since Epson is not committed to keeping their products compatible with the latest memory cards, the useful life of their products will be very short.
P-2000 is unreliable March 15, 2007

I am a professional photographer and have relied on the P-2000 and a redundant Dell notebook for photo storage in the field. The P-2000 corrupted about 10% of files downloaded from several CF cards (Lexar Professional 133x media). The corruption is transparent until the files are unloaded to a desktop. The original files on the CF card remained intact and error free. On a recent wildlife shoot in East Africa I returned to discover that more than 300 of 3000 plus frames were not retrievable. What makes matters worse for the P-2000 is that it cannot be repaired in the field. One cannot restore its operating software from an external source and the cost of doing so is prohibitively more than the instrument is worth. I will not invest in another one, personally.
 Epson P-2000 Is A Good Product January 10, 2007

I am basically happy with my Epson P-2000 except for one issue. If you want photos entered into an album on the Epson P-2000 in a certain order for presentation, you can't do it. Photos are shown in the order and date they were taken on your digital camera. After spendidng hours creating a 700 picture file on my computer and transfering it to the Viewer in the order I wanted them presented, I learned from Epson Tech Support this feature is not currently availble on the P-2000. I explained my reasoning for wanting them viewed in a certain order, and tech support said this may be available in a future update. Other than this, I am enjoying the P-2000 to store and view my photos.
