Epson’s P-6000 ($599.99) and P-7000 ($799.99) Multimedia Viewers were always a bit too rich for our blood, but those hemming and hawing might just have the final bit of motivation they need to pull the trigger. A forthcoming firmware update for the 80GB and 160GB (respectively) photo viewers brings along a hotly-anticipated new feature: tethering. Put simply, pro shooters (and novices, we guess) can now connect select Nikon and Canon DSLRs to their photo viewer via USB, and in real time shots will be simultaneously captured to the camera’s memory card and the viewer’s hard drive. Moreover, the update includes a remote shutter release function for added convenience, though we’re sad to say that the retail pricing of these buggers hasn’t budged. If you’re a proud owner already, keep your eyes glued to Epson‘s support site — the download should go live in “late-October.”
