One of the most immediately notable features of the Epson P-5000 is its designmatch with today's digital SLR cameras. This provides a familiar operational feel to the viewer, making it more intuitive and readily usable by professional and advanced amateur photographers.
The P-5000's metal casting adds a solid feel, and the sculptured grip gives it the DSLR feel. All function buttons are located to be within easy thumb reach, and a specially designed card slot prevents any dirt or dust from entering the device.
