Creative Zen Vision: M

[Sebastian]

I just bought one of these off ebay and was wondering who here has one. If you do, what do you think and what are some suggestions you have? I'm really excited to see what this thing is capable of.

I have an old Zen Touch and I love it. I know a girl that has one of these though, and so far she has no complaints other than how long it takes to upload video (even though that's to be expected with USB :/ )

I understand that it is a bit thicker than the iPod, but that is something that I can deal with. I'll be using it primarly for working out.

I don't think it's THAT heavy...

I hate hate HATE the Zen interface. Apple's iPod software is leagues ahead. Then again, the Zens always have better sound quality, so it's a small price to pay.

Zen vision has 200k color screen, ipod video has a 65k screen.

I recently got a similar player from creative(effectively the photo version of yours) I've only had one problem. The fm radio on it is gone. It disappeared from the menu and is nowhere to be found. While looking through the creative forums for an answer i found that lots of other people were having that problem with the sleek and vision mp3 players :/ The only way to fix it is to send it in to creative with warranty coverage.

Other than that it's been great, though

This is a bit off topic, but do you guys know how to name MP3's without a name? I have a bunch that I renamed for the sake of order, but now I need to put them on the player and they will all come up as titles like "now1, now2...ect."

Right click, properties, summary, advanced

I have one and I love it so much. It's a little thicker than the iPod (not really noticable) but check the facts:

Six times the amount of colors in the screen compared to iPod Video.
Twice the video battery life (four hours with Vision, 2 for iPod)
It's five times sexier.

I also have one. Its fantastic. You can listen to music forever with the battery life on the thing, and with four hours of battery when watching video, you can watch any full length movie there is. LOTR pwns when your in a long car ride!

Not only that, but the picture quality is amazing, sound is superb and 30gigs is plenty of space for anything. Also, i dont know how much you will use this, but it has a nice picture viewer. I put a lot of digital art on it, and its really nice to have when I am trying to come up with ideas or get inspired to do my own art.

I'm getting one next week, after my Zen Touch finally died on me the other day.

Haven't decided which colour to get though. Black looks sexy, but apparently it'll show scratches pretty bad. Oh the choices....
