Strengths: Can easily directly download from CF and SD cards, also view RAW files.
Summary: I plan on leaving my laptop home the next time I take a trip. (Less hassle at the airport.) It will fit in my backpack without breaking my back. The viewer has a histogram which helps me decide whether the photo is a keeper or goes in the trash. Can get a good view of the different colors/tones etc. I've loaded some classical music on it and the sound is very acceptable. Would highly recommend the P-3000 if you're looking to downsize when traveling.
