Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received this yesterday, and it is better then I had hoped for. Bonuses include:
1) While there is no stated support for 4GB SDHC cards, they work without a hitch.
2) While there is no stated support for XViD encoded file, they also work perfectly.
As a photo backup and viewing device, it is a solid five stars. It imports the pictures quickly, it displays them beautifully and it allows me to see the Exif data on the device. The OS, while not very complex, is smart about where it keeps new pictures. I also appreciate that the hard drive is so large. I currently have about 30GB of digital images, and I now carry my entire library with me. Another backup location is always appreciated.
As a movie player it is also very good 4+ stars. Not as good as the current generation of Archos for example, but as a secondary function, it is more then acceptable. Pictures are clear and volume is loud enough that you can use it without headphones if you had to. With one exception, I didn't notice any jumping or skipping in the movies I tried out. It does have a few minuses as a movie player:
1) No support for AC3 audio.
2) Since the screen is 4 inches but 640x480, widescreen movies are smaller then they would be on a 4 inch 480x272. The flip side of this is that non-widescreen movies (ie TV shows) are bigger on the P5000.
3) Quicktime doesn't work very well at all. Lots of jumping and skipping. It might have been just the two I tried.
On the plus side, every AVI - whether Divx or XViD - worked like a charm. Every MP4 files I tried also worked.
I give this a solid five stars because in its primary function it is as good as it can be. For its secondary functions (movie and music player) it is still quite good.
Highly recommended.
