Full review
I have had this mp3 player for a year, and I bought it for £150. I have used it regularly everyday for at least an hour each day.

For the first 9 months, it functioned perfectly, however, recently it has started playing up- the screen freezing, or flipping upside down, or not turning on when it has full battery. However, annoying as these problems are, they can be fixed easily by a simple clean up which takes about 2 minutes, and this feature can be accessed by putting the battery in while holding the power button on, which can sometimes be a bit awkward to do.

The white paint has started to chip on my mp3 player (mainly when I was using a silicon skin) which is unsightly and annoying, but poses no other problem except for being aesthetically unpleasing.

The touchpad is slightly annoying, it is possible to change the sensitivity of the touchpad but this doesn't help a lot of the time. I find that the touchpad also sometimes has a slight lag, which means I end up pressing the button 5 or 6 times to no effect, and then suddenly those 5 or 6 presses take effect.

The photos that are stored on this mp3 player and of high quality, however, it's annoying that you cannot listen to music whilst look at the photos- the music just turns off.

I have never used the radio on this mp3 player, simply because I personally prefer to listen to my own music than the radio.

The microphone leaves high quality recordings, which means I have been able to record a few tracks from the radio (not the radio in the mp3 player, but another, such as the car radio) which have been of acceptable quality.

The headphones which came with the mp3 player were an awkward shape to fit in my ears, and so I bought some new ones of a different brand.

When I first bought this mp3 player I found it annoying that it could only be charged from a computer, but since then have bought a plug charger from the creative website for about £20. However, I think that this should be part of the package with the mp3 player, as it would be unpractical when going on holiday, where there is often limited computer access.

The battery on this mp3 player is a decent length, from full battery, it can last about 10 hours before it goes flat.

The size of this mp3 player is a perfect size to be able to fit in the palm of your hand and the buttons on the touchpad are a decent size.

When I first bought this mp3 player, 8GB seemed like more than enough to store all of my music (2000 songs) however, I didn't take into account that a lot of the tracks in my collection are much longer than the 3 minute length which is what Creative counts as a typical song length in it's approximation, and it only holds about 1700 songs.

The Creative software was difficult to use at first (several Creative programs are installed and I didn't know which one I was meant to use) after being set on the right path by a friend, I have found the software to be simple to use.

I have found this mp3 to be relatively easy to use, and am surprised it has lasted a full year of constant use and abuse.

Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by sbrennan970

Advantages: Solid, reliable brilliant sound quaity
Disadvantages: Chunky, bundled software is a pain, touch interface may annoy some users

I recieved my creative zen micro photo as a replacement for my late Ipod mini (4gb), I was shocked when I initially tore open the packaging with an unnatural force, inside I found: *My creative zen microphoto (in black) *Creative earphones (Quality wasn't great, obviously a knock-off of the *Ipod headphones) *Leather pouch *battery *CD with software *cable Lets start with the Zen, ok, it has no buttons and some users will find the toch-interface ...
...boot. Overall- I personally wouldn't spend more than £100 on one of these, they aren't quite the 'ipod-killer' creative maked them out to be but it is a solid, resiliant and cool looking player.

Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by such.an.irony

Advantages: great design, easy to install, simple controls.
Disadvantages: scroll bar takes time to get used to! other mp3 players cheaper.

The Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB is wonderful. I love it. I would definetly recommend it to anyone. Firstly, the appearance of the micro is very modern and eye catching. The controls and the rim glow blue and the player comes in many colours to suit everyone's tastes. The display on the screen is easy to read and can be personalised with a stored photo or by changing the background colour. Installing the Micro photo (along with the programs associated ...
...follow step by step installation CD which makes life so much easier for those of us who have little knowledge of computers! The player plays mp3 format music and so no extra programs are needed to change the format of music files from windows media player or equavilant music players. Putting music on the player is also very easy. Simply click and drag the files from your music folder into the Zen Micro Photo music folder. I couldn't believe how easily ... Read review

Quick review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by kclymer

The worst product I've ever owned. I got mine around Christmas time and so far I've had to have it replaced twice. This is very poor quality! It freezes up often. The second time I had it replaced was because nothing could be transferred to the MP3. Also, customer service is horrible. You'd think if you paid (I paid in dollars) 200 USD for something, you'd get better service. No. They will give you phone service for the first 60 days. Then you only get email service. Their slow response to emails is the main reason I've gotten to use MP3 player for a total of 1 month since then. Its now August. Don't by Creative ever!

Brilliant little mp3 player
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by Hazmatazz

Advantages: uilt to last, Equalizer, Long battery life, Good sound playback
Disadvantages: Oled screen! Heavy.

...good aswell. I bought some Creative earphones off ebay as the original one's had too much treble and not enough bass. This mp3 player is amazing and i use MP to move the files over. I have the 4gb version which i got just under 2 years ago off ebay for £50. The only thing i don't like in it is the OLED screen as i have heard that after lots of use, they fade and there not very good to use outside, apart from that the whole MP3 Player is amazing and ...

Review of Creative ZEN MicroPhoto 8 GB by  Magic_Star94

Advantages: Music Quality is great
Disadvantages: Screen Fades Out

...Hi, I have recently bought this product. For the most part it is awesome. The music quality is exceptional, and this product comes in many colors to choose from. It also is the perfect size to fit in your hand. It is pretty sleek; when you press a button, the whole thing glows and it is very beautiful. It is definatly a great product and I recommend you to buy it. So far, I love mine. But a disadvantage is that the screen fades out very quickly (4 seconds). It's pretty annoying, but it's to save battery power. When you press a button, it goes back on though. The directions aren't very helpful though; they're not organized good at all, and hard to understand. There are also many other features, such as a microphone and photo viewing. This product is a great value.... Read review

Review of Creative ZEN MicroPhoto 8 GB by  st-robin

Advantages: Colour screen, excellent frquency responce
Disadvantages: cant see the screen in the sun

...I got mine a few months ago. Everything was plain and simple straight out of the box. the software is good although im still sticking to WMP just because im used to it. the sound quality is what youd expect from a company like creative - excellent. the phones provided arent too bad but id reccomend getting something better. i got some decent buds and they really reveal just how good creative products sound. its fairly easy to use. the touch scrolling can be irratating until you get the hang of it. when you master it it makes everything a whole lot simpler. the interface is pretty good and i like having the option of a background picture, even if the screen is a bit pixely. heres where it flops. on a hot summers day the screen is difficult (if almost impossible) to see without cupping your hand over it. bit a of a nasty design...

Microphoto - the good and bad points
Review of Creative ZEN MicroPhoto 8 GB by  redstorm12

Advantages: Sound and picture quality , battery life
Disadvantages: Small screen size and touchpad sensitivity

...I purchased my microphoto about 6 months ago as a replacement for my much loved ipod mini. To be honest I have always been an ipod fan, however I had problems with the ipod breaking, therefore upon choosing a replacement I decided to shop around for a different brand. The result - a Zen microphoto. It appeared to be a smart looking, reasonably priced player, with loads of cool 'extra' features, which really grabbed my attention, such as a radio, voice recorder and the ability to store photos. Generally, I am pleased with the purchase, and it certainly matches if not exceeds my previous ipod, however it is not perfect, and as always there are some negatives to the player. The first positive of the microphoto is its relatively small size, meaning that it can easily fit into most pockets, however it is quite bulky (it has a depth of 1... Read review
