One more thing... in my earlier research into the compatability of the P2000 and the RAW files from the Canon 1Ds, I contacted Epson directly. I have cut-and-pasted the exchange below in case it helps anyone out. NOTE: This info is current as of 12/15/04.
Dear Epson-
I am looking for answers to 2 specific questions regarding your p-2000 image storage system. After poring through many reviews, I am having trouble determining whether the p-2000 supports RAW files from the Canon 1Ds. Some places say it will and others do not say anything at all about that particular DSLR. Second, I have read that the p-2000 has a file size
limit of 8.9MP? is this true? If so, then my 11MP 1Ds will produce files that are too large to be used with the p-2000. Can you get back to me with information on these two questions and on the compatibility of the p-2000 and Canon 1Ds in general?
Thanks - Harrison

Here is all the current information, at the present the 1Ds's raw files are not known to display on the P-2000, but can be stored as can other photo files:

Note:
RAW files do not support direct printing, rotation, zooming,
or slide shows.
Any file can be saved, however if a RAW file it may not be displayed on the P-2000 if not one of the above, as well files over 8.9 Megabytes will not be displayed but can also be
stored.
It is possible that a future update may allow functionality of this camera with RAW, however until we have no way of knowing, if and when something is released it will be posted on our web site.
Thank you again for contacting Epson.
