Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Save on iPods & MP3 Players
I've now bought a couple of these, a 30gb one and a 60gb one. I think they are brilliant. The 4.3" true widescreen display is easily as good as anything else out there - not a stuck or dead pixel in sight on either of my Zen Vision Ws - and the hard drive is easily upgradeable so long as you select the correct drive. One of my ZVWs is now a 120gb 'super vision'! Brilliant. The software supplied converts any Divx/Xvid movies it might have a problem with and it plays MP3s up to 320kbps for hight quality audio output. The controls are very easy to use, in short I have no complaints and think this MP3/media player beats any iPod or Arcos media player hands down. Weird how Creative stopped making them. I did find a handy little dock in the USA for £18 delivered, but anything with a 3.5mm jack will do the job. The unit can charge by the USB mini USB connection as well as the docking port on the bottom or the Creative charger unit. It's nice to have options. One issue I was worried about turned out to be no problem at all, genuine ZVW batteries look as if they are rarer than hens teeth. However the battery can easily be upgraded and/or replaced. The Zen Vision battery fits (with a small modification). The only difference is that the ZVW has to pegs to locate the battery 1/2 way along each long side of the battery (you'll know when you see it) and the Zen Vision does not. Either cut the 2 locating lugs off the ZVW or cut 2 slots in the battery's plastic casing (not the battery itself) and the new battery will fit and work perfectly - and it gets even better as there is a 3300mAh Zen Vision replacement/spare battery available which is double the original standard battery capacity. This does add to the weight of the unit and this is about the only thing someone being really picky might complain about - but you get so much for that weight I think that is rather silly. I can't fault the unit, it's reliable and has a screen which makes watching movies a pleasure as opposed to the usual eye-straining 'postage stamp' screen so many seem to provide. Protective leather cases and screen covers are still available and make a sensible addition as does a set of quality headphones, I have a pair of Klipsch X1 headphones and the quality is outstanding. These always sell fast and for a good price on eBay and I am not at all surprised, those in the know know how good these are. Thoroughly recommended.Read full review
A great 'little' player. Beefier than my old Creative zen but the screen is crystal clear, the player is very easy to use. With the added bonus of the Compact Flash card reader for digital cameras and camcorders so you can view them straight away.
This is a great piece of kit does everything photos videos music battery life is good. Only it is a bit heavy storage is good 30 gig so lots of space and clear screen just the job.
