This was sent in by my friend Ken Murphy who won the abstract picture contest. Check it out….Its a new multimedia storage device- It allows you to view and download your images for backup while on a shoot. While I personally dont use such a device, I know of several photographers who do. (For some reason I like the idea of keeping my cards safe inside the camera bodies until I get home).
Before you jump the gun and say, ya we’ve seen these in the Epson 5000, there are some very cool things the Wolverine ESP has that the Epson 5000 doesnt, like a built in radio for one, as well as a built in 7 in 1 card reader. It also has direct audio and video recording abilities (with the right hardware). The ESP comes in both 80 and 120 GB models (Epson tops out at 80). Granted the Wolverine is 3.6″ vs Epson’s 4″ screen, but the most amazing thing about the Wolverine is its price: $329!! Thats half the price of the Epson 5000!! WOW! Thanks for the info Ken!
For your reference, here is a picture of the Epson 5000:

I really thought this would be cool for a long trip or an extended vacation when you are not arround a computer or (like in my case) you don’t have a laptop. The price is good and most of the reviews are pretty good too. The added features of the ESP are just a plus. Thanks for posting it, Michael.
I just found your site through the B-school blog…. this thing looks cool. I’m going to go and check it out. Thanks for the info!
hi doug! Thanks for visiting. I have a huge amount of respect for Becker- he is a stud! I hope you enjoy my blog.
I’ve been using my Creative Zen W Vision (60gig) which I love. Although they stopped making it, you can find these on the CHEAP! They don’t display RAW, so I shoot RAW+sJPG so I can still view my images on there. It has one built in CF reader, which I keep a SD-CF card on me to dump my SD cards. Works like gold. Plus I can watch movies, listen to mp3’s while I’m waiting around.
how much do they run Amish?
