Advice on image viewing options while camping

[Big Ren]

Hi all

Quick background. I love camping and fishing in SE Queensland, I also love photography but need to find a solution to a small dilemma.

I am in the process of upgrading my Canon 350D to a 7D.

My issue is that I would like to be able to find an easy solution to downloading and viewing photos on a reasonably sized screen (not a 3 inch camera LCD screen) while we are away.

I have plenty of power (2KW Honda genny, 600w inverter, 105amp AGM second battery with Anderson plug and 2 cig plug connections). I also have a 2TB external hard drive.

Is there an easy way of viewing photos on a media player or something similar without having to bring my work laptop along on a trip? Is there a good media player or similar device to buy?

I want to be able to download my photos each day and be able to show fellow campers in our group without all of us having to cram around a 3 in LCD screen on the camera.

Can this work without me having to download images from camera to my work laptop?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Paul
