I don't carry a folder of prints any more. I got the new one entirely due to its high resolution 10" diagonal screen for mainly that purpose. Shows sRGB colours fine too. I made a pre-set in Lightroom to size photo versions (2048 pixels on the long side) and it's great for handing around to fellow photogs and interested viewers. I think a few of the Barcelona crew were impressed! The importing connectivity is marginally clumsy in that it doesn't directly allow SD cards nor have a USB interface but it is doable with their (additional) adaptors for those via the proprietary connection. You also need to duplicate the default file folder and naming from a digital camera on a flash drive if you are to use that. Mine has hundreds of photos on it organised as I like and it is simple to navigate/operate. I played with the cameras but they are like using a tennis racket to strain spaghetti. If you have the right tool with you why would you want to!
