Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer

This otherwise excellent unit does not seem to be able to
enlarge RAW-files from Canon 1D Mk.II and Canon 1Ds Mk.II -
is there an upgrade to the firmware for this device that
allows for enlarging such files?

Epson have firmware upgrades on their Web site, now at V2.04.
Which version do you have?

Yes, that is correct, and firmware V2.04 is what is
indicated om my Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer.

However, as already said, the unit does not seem to to be
able to enlarge RAW-files from Canon 1D Mk.II and Canon 1Ds
Mk.II - of course, there is a possibility that I am doing
something wrong.

I was under the impression that it can't enlarge the RAW files from _any_
digital camera. All it does is display the embedded thumbnail from the RAW
file. And those don't have enough pixels in them to enlarge.

According to page 19 of the manual, zooming of RAW-images is not possible:

"RAW files do not support slide shows, zooming or direct printing from the
P-2000."

No.

The reason is that enlarging RAW files means having to PROCESS them.
This is a tremendously processor-intensive action.

For those cameras, the natural solution would be to shoot simultaneous
RAW+jpeg (perhaps at a smaller jpeg setting) so you can inspect images more
closely. This way, you'll have a clear image to look over, but the full
power of the raw file as well.
