I came across this product when I was searching for an MP3 player than could play video, (my music collection is pretty small). When the sansa e260 arrived I was dazzled by the glowing scroll wheel, when lit up, it looks amazing on the sleek body design. The main bonus, to me, was the microSD expansion slot, which I used to store my videos. As yet, I have yet to find a major draw back, the screen is easily bright enought even on half brightness, the sound quality, in my opinion, is quite acceptable. The small niggles I did find, however were; the inablility to fast forward very far in a video without the player exiting to the menu, the radio tuner isn't enabled if bought in the EU (as far as I am aware, if it's there, I can't find it!), and the headphones which were supplied could have been better (they worked but they were quiet and since I got new headphones I have noticed better sound quality) The software included was very good, it converted all my files into the correct format for the e260 (but most of the files seemed to use more memory AFTER they had been converted to the lower resolution). Overall, I am very impressed with the e260 and I think it was excellent value for money.
One last thing, on all my previous MP3 players, the headphone socket would break after a while so sound would only come out if the headphone jack was in a certain position, as yet, this hasn't happenned to the e260, nor has the screen scratched.

(+) Great screen quality and size, built in speaker and stand. (-) The only downside is that it is fragile, and can be hard to get used to the on screen keyboard.
