    Picture viewing advice needed !

    Recently I was ask to meet someone at a yatch to take pictures for a possible sale. What I am looking for is something that I could look at the pictures on with this person on site before I leave and make sure that I have the correct angles for the pictures and that I have a shot of everything I need to be able to make the sale.

    I looked at a small portable DVD player with video inputs on it so we can see each of the pictures before leaving. Sometimes a person has to be sent out to show me around and getting a second chance is not an option. It would be nice to have something battery operated that we could look at to see if any additional pictures are needed while I am still there and have access to the boat

    I will be doing this off and on in the future.My camera has video out cables. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Jeff

    Epson have a device that you could use just for that, you transfer the pictures to it and then you can view what you want and delete, take images again if you see that it isn't right.

    But you should be able to do that with your camera anyway.

    Does the yacht have a TV with video inputs? I'd guess there's a pretty good chance of that - in which case you can use it as a monitor. If not, the Epson is a good choice but pretty small. Portable DVD players are a lot bigger (probably big enough, any way), but keep an eye out for low priced laptops. My wife bought a Toshiba at CompUSA in December for $650, and it's surprisingly nice for the money. The Epson isn't a whole lot less...

    The advantages with a laptop being that the screen is larger, it will do a lot more than just display images, you can backup your cards on it's hard drive, burn CD's and check your email while you're waiting.
