Great product - read the manual I started looking at items like this one because I wanted a device I could use to store my photos while traveling without lugging a notebook computer around. When I picked this one, I think I made a great choice.
Mainly, in this review, I want to address some misconceptions found in other reviews. First, the screen: The viewing angle is not an issue at all. I was amazed to see what is said in some of the reviews. It is a one-person device, but I can move my head several inches in...

Overall, a good buy - worth it I've had my Vision for about 3 months now and I use it almost daily at work. The audio is great, the graphics are very good for a handheld device, the UI is easy to get around.
Every now and then it will just sorta crap out on me and I have to pull the battery to get it reset, but that's only been two or three times (I think that some of my audio files might be corrupt). The fact that it has a radio tuner (which works great), plays audio files and video files was a huge selling poin...

A Sweet and Versatile Machine First, a word of caution. This is a totally non-techie review, and applies only to my personal experiences with the Zen Vision. Your experiences will undoubtedly be very different from mine.
The Zen Vision is a great little machine, but not without its minor flaws. It plays videos on a 3.7" diagonal LCD screen. And since it has a 30GB hard drive, it will hold a lot of videos. It also displays .jpg photos, and of course, it plays music too. The unit does all of the above quite ...

Great multi-purpose device I've done quite a lot of research on this device before buying it. I must say - I actually purchased this device twice :(. The first time was when it first came out (many months ago) and the second time was about two months ago. When I first purchased the device - my driving requirement was an MP3 player and watching videos. I didn't want to go with the iPod since I didn't like the fact that it was only compatible with iTunes and the idea of watching videos was cool - since I spend at ...

Stop Looking, You Have Found It I was really nervous after buying this poduct that it wasnt going to be that great. After all, most electronics arent nearly what they say they are once you actually have them in your possesion, having said that....this one is great. I love everything about it. The LCD is HUGE and crystal clear, however, as im sure you have read, the viewing angle is very limited. but thats why they call it a PERSONAL video player. The interface is very easy to navigate, everything is at your fingertips.

Probably the best portable media player out now and for a while! First, let me start by saying that I am a picky guy. I send stuff back all the time if something is not what I expected or how it was advertised. I am keeping the Zen Vision. I am glad that I decided to ignore the "crappy screen" comments. I did a lot of comparion shopping before deciding on the Zen Vision. Creative is a solid company and I have never been disappointed with their support in the past.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS The screen is excellent. It's bright, vibrant and a joy...

so far so good Since I bought this Creative Media Player I have nothing bad to say about it. First of all the sound quality is wonderful. Sounds just as good as my stereo, maybe even better. The removable battery is cool and so easy to replace, plus placing songs in this thing is so easy. And you don't even need to load the software into your computer. All that you need in a media player. But the software that does come with it is cool. You can rip an entire cd right into it without having to go into your comp...

Treat this review as your bible to MP3 / multimedia shopping OK, I did too much research on these devices ... so I am here to share : I will break down Pros / Cons / General Advice / Why Creative over an IPOD.
OK ... giving this 5 stars, not because it is perfect ... only because *all things being equal*** it is best in its class. Pros - SMART drag / drop (which is HUGE if you were an 'old time original napster dude, where you downloaded everyone song you ever wanted, and still have the collection). SMART means this ... if y...

Perfect for frequent travelers and those looking to have fewer wires snaking around the house Excellent buy. It's easily my favorite electronic device. Some thoughts on the various features:
I tend to travel a lot. I usually lug around my digital Rebel and take a lot of pictures. A 6.3 megapixel camera tends to fill up memory cards quickly. On my last trip I brought along my Zen Vision and used it to back up my digital pics right from the CF card. I didn't need to carry around my laptop to download the pictures, and I only had to bring two memory cards with me. My back appreci...

nearly there Creative nearly hit bullseye with this device. It's perfectly sized, easy to use, and has plenty of capacity. Images are crisp and colors rich, but the unit falls just short with a narrow viewing angle and sluggish navigation.
First, the bad. The screen is uncomfortable to watch head on. The left tilt helps but it's still not satisfactory. In addition, my unit has several tiny starlike specs that distract me from my movie. Compared to my HP iPaq, the unit takes time to boot and navig...
