Creative ZEN VISION:M 30 GB

This is a good quality product that offers good value for money in the very short term. Although as with most electronic products, the value will deteriorate over time and should be able to get a cheaper version next year. It incorporates most of the latest features and technology that is currently available on the market. Unfortunately it contributes significantly to global warming. After using this product for a few months I have not so far come ...
...I therefore would recommend the product. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually really need something before you buy it. We buy so many things nowadays that we don't really need. It's a great little device with plenty of features that I would highly recommend. This really is a wonderful piece of kit that should go well with many accessories because it really looks good. However, always think carefully as to whether you actually ...

...store and saw my first Creative ZEN Vision:M, and I was won over with the beauty, symmetry, and in general sheer simple sexiness of the Zen. When I got home I looked it up, researched it and eventually just went for it. I purchased mine from Amazon, where I get most of my items. Currently priced around £139.99 When the box arrived I opened up, and what came was a "New Zen" and it was just so cool. In the Box ======== Creative ZEN Vision:M Earphones ...

...on it still! The Creative player has a high definition screen, in comparison with the i-pod which has the standard LCD screen. Since HD technology is the hottest thing around right now, this player seems very attractive! Like the i-pod, this player has the ability to store photos, however unlike the i-pod, you can set a particular photo as the background for your main screen, and you can also zoom into your photos. As well as choosing a photo for ...
...As well as photos, the creative player has the ability to store videos. These do take up a rather large amount of memory, but its worth it to see your favorite music videos or films being played on an HD screen! The only set back with the videos is that the format your videos have to be in is limited quite strictly, to either:WMV9, MPEG1/2/4-SP, Motion J-PEG, DIV4/5 and Xvid2. Now i have absolutely no idea what all of these things mean, but i do ...

Still not widely available on the High St. (June 2006), so had to buy if off the web (cheaper anyway). The key features which drew to to buy it were: - better support of different filetypes (so I understand) - the built-in FM Radio (pity it isn't DAB) - Support for Windows Media Player (which I had used to rip my existing collection to my PC ...

Transferring music and video is easily done using Windows Media Player as it sees the device and swiftly synchronises your music and also the playlists you have created in Media Player (this is really useful). When it comes to transferring video, I found it easier to use the Creative software, which allowed me to easily transfer mpg and avi files. There is also a feature to convert vvarious video files (avi, ...

The new Creative Zen Vision:M is a great alternative to the video Ipod and if I was going to recommend one I would defiantly choose this. It takes the ipod and walks all over it. Not only is the video quality that much better you don't have to install itunes. LOOK AND FEEL ============= From a distance this Zen could be easily mistaken for an ipod. The menus are very similar and it has the same glossy feel about it. But on close inspection you ...

It contains many of the functions that Media Player has and if wanted could be used instead if you preferred it. It's very easy to use and the home page has links to all the common tasks. This makes it very easy to use for beginners, maybe more so than Media Player. Zen Media Explorer can be used to explore the contents of your player and also links to ...

I really can't praise the Creative Zen: Vision M enough. Over the years, and as a self confessed music addict, I've gone through a variety of portable media players. From the humble Napa mp3 player which was my first media player purchase, through to this classic Creative player, it's obvious technology has advanced in leaps and bounds through the years.

...also because after owning a Creative MP3 player previously I found Creative products more intuitive and easy to use. This particular player is certainly not as svelte or attractive as its iPod equivalent, but I was sold initially on the variety of file types it could handle, and the impressive sounding battery life (around 4 hours for video, though I get closer to three), in comparison to Apple's offering. The player itself is relatively large, ...

While not restrictive like iTunes it can still be a little annoying, especially when you wait for it to convert a video and at the end of the process get a message saying it couldn't do so.

The Creative Zen Vision:M is an MP3 player by Creative. It was released in August 2006. It is available in 30GB or 60GB options and is available in a range of colours: Black, white, pink, blue and green. I chose the white because I think it looks the best and all the rest of the cabling etc and back of the vision:m itself is white so thought it was worth paying £4 extra to get it in white. I also chose the smaller 30GB option as I don't believe I ...

After purchashing the creative zen vision m in February 2006, I have concluded it's one of the best devices i've bought in a long time. Desciding whether to get this little beauty or the ipod equivilant was a painstaking process.

The day before I was going to purchase the ipod i downloaded i-tunes in preperation. After ...

...am very pleased with the creative Zen Vision M series. Any one still thinking iPod is best are completely wrong. The device is a similar shape to the iPod; a portrait style device with the display at the top and controls at the bottom. The Zen’s ace when it comes to iPod comparison is its high definition screen whereas iPod only has LCD. Holding the device because of its extra weight comparison to iPods you can feel its there so it isn’t likely that ...

Also when searching for music the device does ...

Creative's zen vision 30gb mp3/video player is truly excellent.

...this. It’s a mistake. The Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB cannot be found anywhere in the UK for less than around 130 quid. I recently bought two of these lovely little items for my boys aged 12 and 10.

I talked it over with my wife ...

I guess the best part of this purchase was that I bought them from Amazon.com in the US and had them delivered to my office there for free in time for a recent business trip. Given that the lowest price in the UK is around £130-140 plus postage, I was delighted to pick these up for ...
