Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen 16 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: 10x's Better than the New IPOD NANO!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the new iPod Nano (for the sole reason of compatibility for my MAC Book) and I returned it the next day...VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! To even have the radio work I was to make an EXTRA purchase of an adapter to activate it and the easeness was a JOKE!
Did much more research and found that the Creative Zen was the BEST on the market for all the features and the PRICE is UNBEATABLE!!! EXTREMELY HAPPY with the easeness and can utilize the radio WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGES!!!!
Clarity is AWESOME!!!(pic and sound)
Digital camera Review: 16 Gig Zen
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. The picture quality is amazing. Very highly reccomend this player to anyone. The only downside is the earphones. They are too large for kids and many women. Get a different pair. Otherwise a good investment.Digital camera Review: 16gb works for me!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had my 16gb for about a month now. I use a Toshiba laptop running Windows Vista and haven't had any problems at all. I did update the firmware as suggested by Zen. My only complaint was the battery life. What took me awhile to find out about was the battery saving feature. I play it at work on random play all day. I was getting about 11.5 hours with the screen turned on. I found out that if you put the player on hold the screen will disappear and save battery life. After that I now average 18 hours between charges which is reasonable. I think one of the main problems is the lack of a good manual which should be included in the box. This would assist in the setup of your new player. I urge Creative to invest the extra quarter in the manual which would probably eliminate many of the problems listed in all the reviews. You shouldn't have to spend hours on the internet to get it up and running. Overall I rate it as an excellent player. Use a Palm screen protector cut to size to protect the screen. Hope you enjoy your new ZEN, I do!Digital camera Review: 3 strikes and it's out
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered my first Zen and was super excited to receive it only a couple of days later. I opened it up and loved that it was really lightweight and easy to use. Extremely user-friendly and nice to look at as well. A few hours later, a thin green stripe appeared vertically on the screen and never went away. Something wrong with the pixels or something, I'm not really sure. I sent that player back and got a new one. Again, added all of my music (about 1500 songs) and it worked great for a while. I then turned it off overnight and when I turned it back on it got stuck on the Zen screen for over two minutes. It worked fine after that as long as I didn't turn it off for more than about 45 minutes. If it was off for that long, it would again take over two minutes to start back up again. The next day, I got the white screen of death. Oh joy. Sent that one back and received a third Zen. Again, loaded all of my music and it took over a minute and a half to turn on every time. I cannot wait that long (call me impatient but an MP3 player should not take that long to turn on) for my music to start playing. I sent that one back and will be purchasing an Apple iPod in the near future.Digital camera Review: 4 out of 5 - still a great mp3 player
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this mp3 player. I give it 4 out of 5 because of 2 issues that I feel are flaws. The first issue being that I still cannot figure out how to get it out of random mode. That even when I select an album, when I hit the button to switch to the next song, it randomly picks tracks out of the album. The second issue being that the instruction manual is basically a piece of paper saying "here you are, figure it out yourself". Although I do feel, that with some basic technological experience, most people should be able to figure it out relatively easily. I do love the fact that it stores so much music and I love that I can have my pictures. I take trips a lot, so this is a lot better than printing out pictures of only the most key points of my trip. I can just show people through my mp3 player. I also love that you can download videos to it. There's a lot of funny videos sent in emails that I've downloaded and I was able to put those on it. The memory card holder isn't really a feature, it doesn't do much for storage unless, I'm assuming you have a large card, but it's still nice to be able to just stick it in and look around on it. I mostly use mine for storage while I'm out and about taking pictures, so when I've filled the card, I switch it out with the empty one stored in it.
