camera accessory, slr cameraI swear there is no end to to the number of products that they make for digital SLR cameras, and when I was doing photography gigs, I would have wanted this particular camera accessory big time. It's a portable media player designed especially for professional photographers. It works like a computer that plays video, audio, and supports JPEG and RAW formats. It's not a cheap camera accessory, but for the successful photographer, I would imagine that it could be an indispensable tool. Time is money and the cost of this camera accessory would probably be absorbed quickly by the efficient use of time in the field while on a photo shoot.

What really attracted me to the Epson P-7000 160GB Hard Drive Portable Media Player was the fact that the photographer can use the zoom function to check the focus of the photo. I remember that I had to make a few trips back to sites when I got my proofs back that proved to be unacceptable for the client, so just a few of those episodes would pay for this unit. The Epson Hard Drive Media Player supports eight different media cards, which is terrific. It's a hassle to have add ons to a camera accessory when in the field. Sometimes there's enough equipment on a job site already, so not having to add a card reader is a real convenience.

We just got a digital SLR camera and since it works with our existing film camera lenses, I'm going to bring this portable media player up to my family over dinner tonight. We won't have to spend any money on new lenses, so we could slide this into the budget instead. Since it plays movies and music, it could also function as an entertainment device while on the road. It comes with rechargeable batteries, so it could be more than a camera accessory that we could get a lot of use from.

I found this camera accessory at Electronic Photo Gadgets located at www.electronicphotogadgets.com, a site that has a lot of interesting items for the digital and electronic world. I had no idea they made products like this media viewer, but I'm sure glad I found it. It would also double as a digital picture frame when we weren't using it for anything else. The more uses we have for this, the higher it will go on the list of items to buy in 2010 that we can't live without.

The holidays were so busy that I didn't have time to get out for any photo shoots, so I'm hoping that this year I can devote at least one day a week to wandering the mountains and desert in search of beautiful scenery to photograph. I want to get a portfolio built and start submitting my photos to different websites for others to buy, so maybe this camera accessory is in closer reach than I thought it might be.
