Photographers
are investing in higher-capacity memory cards and most of us are
happily filling them up with digital images. If nature abhors a vacuum,
then photographers dislike empty space on a card. But what happens if
you aren’t close enough to a desktop computer to download those
hundreds of photographs? Right On The Screen The heart of these devices is the full-color LCD screen that serves not only as the means to review images, but also to navigate various built-in functions. These functions include playback modes for the production of slideshows viewable either on screen, on a television or via a projector. Depending on the model you’re using, the size and resolution of a screen will vary. The Epson P-2000 features a 3.8-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. It delivers the brilliance and saturation of slide film, but is a little dark. The Transcend Digital Album includes a 2.5-inch TFT LCD with a resolution of 294 x 228 pixels. A more affordable model, this unit offers good brightness, but less resolution than the Epson. Rather than handing off your camera to share your images, a portable hard drive with a screen provides an easy way for several people to simultaneously enjoy the images you’ve captured.
