Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by poopoo876

Advantages: Good quality microphone; decent battery life, good size; software is easy to use
Disadvantages: Touchpad is annoying; awkward headphones; only coming with a computer charger.

...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 ... Read review

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 ...

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 ... 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 ...

Brilliant
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by little_emma3

Advantages: Looks smart
Disadvantages: Battery doesn't last long

...I can plug into my Creative Zen and listen from the car. This wears the battery down quite quickly though. Overall this mp3 player is brilliant. It looks smart, sounds smart, and has lasted me a good year and a half, and it's still going. After all the reviews I'd read about Creative products, I was expecting it to last only a year if that. But it has surpassed itself, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants a cheapish alternative to an i-pod. ... Read review

Creative Zen Microphoto
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by Jasmine1126

Advantages: Long battery life and very good quality sound
Disadvantages: Touchpad can be hard to contol

I ordered my Creative Zen MicroPhoto about 5 months ago from a well known website, for about £120. The first one I received had a fault that meant it did not play any sound, the website I had bought it from gave me a replacement which worked. After researching on the internet I found that many people had the same problem with their Zen MicroPhoto which was apparently due to a problem in the headphone socket. My new MicroPhoto works perfectly. The ... Read review

Best player I've ever bought.
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by hawkinsgal

Advantages: Sound quality, picture quality, graphics, menu layout
Disadvantages: None

This is honestly the best MP3 player I have ever bought, and I've bought quite a few. I still use this MP3 player now even though it is considered to be quite old. I've had Ipods and they are nothing compared to this. The software you get with this MP3 player is very easy to use, much easier than Itunes for an Ipod. The MP3 player itself is brilliant. The menus on the player are excellent and its so easy to find your music. The sound quality is excellent ... Read review

Creative Zen Micro Photo
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by james00j

Advantages: Brightness of the screen
Disadvantages: Size of the photos on the screen

I have a zen micro photo comes in many colurs but i have it in lite blue. The main advantages of this mp3 its size as, it fits easily in the pocket of my jeans. It holds loads of songs as it has 8Gb of memory. On the box it says it can hold around 4,000 songs but i can fit around 3000 , which is more than enough and i have about 200 photos so im not that bothered about the memory side. The screen is really clear quality, but it is really small, but ... Read review

Zen micro- fantastic
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by tom1991

Advantages: Great sound quality
Disadvantages: awkward touch pad

I have had my Creative zen micro for about 2 years now, it is a nice looking mp3 player, it sounds good and all the functions aregood- the radio, the microphone and you can also use it as a poratble hard drive. I like the illumination whilst charging and whilst playing music. The battery holds extremley well, lasts days unlike ipods, and is also the fraction of the cost and yet is one the best mp3 players out there. The software for the zen micro ... Read review

Does everything it claims, but............
Review of Creative Zen Micro photo 8GB by nemo183

Advantages: It's not an ipod, well built.
Disadvantages: Overtaken by other (Creative) products.

Very hard to find a reason for buying this product, which although very well built, and with excellent battery life, has really been made redundant by the crash in price of similar devices that use larger, faster hard disk technology, and will also allow the playback of video. Yes, it will record a shed load of mp3 music or 1000's of photos. It also has a good FM radio and good recording of voice or music data. The display screen is excellent. ... Read review
