Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs 70PF165000000 Zen MicroPhoto 8 GB MP3 Player (Titanium Gray)
Digital camera Review: Disappointed BIG TIME!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this little mp3 player 4 months ago. Guess what? Now the battery life is 1 hour or less! The only good thing is that the battery is replacable but still who would like to replace the battery every 4 months. I highly recommend that you just get an Ipod even if this thing is cheaper. At least wait until Creative does something about their battery life.Digital camera Review: Don't last
Summary: 2 Stars
I was really happy with my Zen Microphoto until it stopped working after less than two years. Creative offered me a new one for $150 (which is half what I paid for it), but I'll probably try to find one without built-in obsolescence. I think that a $300 device should last longer than that, and I wasn't impressed with Creative's after market support. My other big problem was I could never get it to work with Windows XP, although Vista seemed to support it OK.Digital camera Review: EXCELLENT MP3 and More
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this for my son for his graduation gift. He loves it. He downloads music, he has photo's in it that he scanned from a scanner, it has a little bit of everything and amazon offers such a great price on it. A top MP3 player, and more.Digital camera Review: Every time I use this, I'm happy I bought it

This does exactly what I want it to do. It's nice to have a few pictures on it, but I didn't really care about that capability. However, it's a great MP3 player, has more than enough room for my music and audio books, I love the radio function, and the recorder is very, very useful to me as a college student. It may be bulkier than some of the others, but it also seems pretty solid and well built. I did by better headphones (I need really small earbuds) but I expected this. I really love this thing.Digital camera Review: Excellent MP3 Player
Summary: 4 Stars
To begin, the Zen Micro Photo is nothing short of amazing. I love it. It's sleek, compact, and stylish. One thing that really got me was the fact that it has 8GB of space; thats a Nano killer right there.
Pros
1. The Zen Micro Photo is wonderfully small and compact. Very sturdy build.
2. The fact that it has 8GB of space is great.
3. The OLED screen is beautiful, and the blue light that runs around the edge is pretty cool when it lights up.
4. This thing has a pretty good battery life depending on the way you use it. Mine usually last around 10-12 hours. And the batteries are replaceable, big ipod killer again.
5. Fast transfer of music to player (depending on the kind of computer you have)
6. Sound quality is excellent..... The preset EQ's are OK.
Cons
1. To begin, the touch pad is very very touchy, meaning that you have to be careful how you touch it because it can react to the slightest thing... but you can set the sensitivity. Also you practically have to smash the play/pause button to get it to react(minor complaint); there's a trick to it, you kinda have to slide your finger across the play/pause button.
2. The OLED screen is difficult to see in sunlight (minor complaint).
3. This is my only big complaint but it's kind of a user/product conflict. When transfering music to the mp3 player, if you don't want your music all jumbled up, the mp3 tags may need to be organized. To organize the tags is a lengthy process. You may have to go into the organizing program and rename artists, songs, etc.....
Other
1. Don't really know when I'm gonna be using that FM radio
