Digital camera reviews of Creative Labs 70PF165000000 Zen MicroPhoto 8 GB MP3 Player (Titanium Gray)
Digital camera Review: Good design with mediocre sound quality
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, everything was said already:
pros: Compact design, battery life, 8G
Cons: touch pad is not perfect ... BUT BUT BUT
For those who care about sound above all:
This toy can play loud - better that any iPod yet I was really dissapointed from its mediocre bass performance. It soulds like it can not play a clean Bass sound - it sounds distorted and it smears the rest of the spectrum.
That's not the way I like my player to sound.
Digital camera Review: Good player, needs a little help.
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought this player in Jan 06. Picked the Creative player after doing a bit of research on all the larger MP-3 units. When i got the unit in the mail, it was very easy to set up and run. The screen is nice, crisp and clear, even in bright light situations. There are only one item that i would like to see fixed with this player and that is the controls. The slider/selector touch pad is difficult to master and prone to erroneous inputs. Other than that, ive been quite pleased with it.Digital camera Review: Good until it died at 11 months old
Summary: 2 Stars
Enjoyed my MicroPhoto until it just froze. Even after several hard resets will not do anything. The freeze problem seems to be a known issue. But Creative wants $25 just to look at it even though it is still under year warranty. I called and the recording said that since I hadn't bought the extended warranty, I would have to pay to talk to someone.
Digital camera Review: Great Player, but no Audible support...
Summary: 2 Stars
I love this player! It takes time to get used to the touch-buttons (I've never used an ipod before), and the ability to view photos while music is playing would be nice, but in general this is a nicely-executed product.
My biggest gripe however, is the lack of Audible support. Creative has done a good job of making it's devices compatible with this popular audio-book service - I find it an incredible oversight that support wasn't included with the Microphoto. Be aware of this if you decide to purchase one.
To 'digitally-sign' a petition for Creative to include support in the next firmware update, head over to the Creative Lab Discussion Forums, and search for: "Petition: Audible support for Zen Microphoto & all future Creative players (including Vision:M)"
I'd rate 4-or-5 stars if this support was there, since this is my primary use of an MP3 player.
Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the Creative Zen MicroPhoto for several months now, and I really enjoy it. The color screen is great, and I like the options to put your own photos on it. It's really easy to use, and I like it a lot more than any iPod. The touch pad may be kinda tricky to get the hang of at first, but I found it best to just lower the scroll speed settings. My only real complaint is that the software sometimes crashes on my computer. I don't know if this is my computer's fault, but it still works about 85% of the time.
