>[hi patricia,
this is my first post on this forum... to do with your storage question... i have recently bought a PD7X and bought a 60GB Hard drive to go in it (no screen)... it does the job and does it well... when i was looking for a portable storage device i saw many wonderful and fancy devices with nice screen to have a nice preview of your JPEG TIFF OR NEF file... but at least in my case it wasnt a MUST have to have a screen... here is a link to the site
i bought mine WITHOUT a Hard drive but you can buy the same device WITH a hard drive... as u can see this is an Australian Site (IM FROM SYDNEY AUSTRALIA) at the moment the devices are on sale during easter...
i have personally used the epson P-2000 and its a great little device... gorgous screen... seeing as the P -2000 still hasnt been realeased here in australia i was fortunate enough to use one since one of my peer (im a student photgrapher) works for epson.
dont get me wrong the P-2000 is a great device and will do a great job... but i could not justify paying close to AUD$900 for the device (this price is an estimate given to me by my peers from epson) when really in the end i am paying for the screen...
i ended up paying for my storage device with the 60gb hard drive about AUD$291... the hard drive is more than big enough to suit all my freelancing needs... more than big enough to survive a whole days worth of shooting on RAW... its a more than capable unit and didnt cost me an arm and leg...
look very carefully at your options and what your needs are...
i hope i have been able to help in some way... stay in touch
would be great to know what you choose to do...
