Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen 4 GB Portable Media Player (Black)
Digital camera Review: 4 1/2 stars! Near perfect compact multi-media device.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned 10+ well known devices. Far and away the new Zen is the best of the best. Not perfect, but so close.
Pros
- Sound is excellent (Sound quality above all. Zen scores 5/5.)
- Video quality excellent (Image quality amazing 5/5.)
- Size/Weight vs. features (A small powerhouse 5/5.)
- Features (Equalizer, clock, sleeptimer, etc. 5/5)
- Expandable (sd cards up to 16 gb supported 5/5.)
- Design (So well laid out. Nearly operable with eyes closed! 5/5)
- Non-proprietary (plays every kind of file or converts to one it will.)
(Also, software included is good but not necessary! Drag & drop works!)
(Non-proprietary gets a big 6/5! Works as a stand alone drive. 6/5!!)
Cons
- Buggy (Needs a reset on occassion. No big deal.)
- Battery (Specs say up to 25 hrs. More like about 10-15.)
- Screen scratches easily (Needs a screen protector.)
- Can't bookmark off sd memory (Again, not a big deal)
The Pros far outweigh the cons on this powerful device. I cant' tell you how much I've thouroughly enjoyed my player. I've been using it for about a month now. Easily my favorite player ever. It isn't perfect but its so darn close that to complain about its minor drawbacks seems criminal.
I watch movies, listen to books & music. I've even loaded family video on to it. There's just so much to love about this device. Thanks creative!

NOTE: This player is so, so impressive that I went out and bought the 16gb version and gave my original 4gb version to my daughter!
Digital camera Review: 4 GB Creative Zin
Summary: 4 Stars
Nice little player, but needs clearer instructions and a better menu. Is not set up to record books from CD's; you have to record them like they are music. Also, I can not figure out how to advance in an individual track.Digital camera Review: 4GB Creative Zen MP3 player
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent product. I didn't know how much space i would really need, but this 4GB player is plenty.
Its simply and friendly to operate. Works great with downloading music, tv shows and movies. The FM Radio is quiet good.
The screen is absolutely clear and readable. The best thing i like about it is the easy interaction with Amazon.com and orgainzation of your personal songs/data.
Digital camera Review: A Christmas present for my 12 year old son
Summary: 5 Stars
Each year I ask my sons to give me a list of things they would like to get for Christmas. The Zen mp3 was at the top of my son's list. It was easy to find on Amazon.com. The price was better than any I have seen and free shipped made it the choice for me. The Zen is a cool MP3 player. It has a nice screen and feels like a quality product. My son is very happy with it and so am I. I will get a case for it so it will stay nice and new looking. Amazon.com is where I will go to find it. It really is one stop shopping when it comes to things like this. Thanks for making my job as Santa easier.Digital camera Review: A good enough product
Summary: 3 Stars
I buy MP3 players in order to listen to audio books almost exclusively. Therefore, I am not looking for many bells and whistles, just reliable play and long battery life. This MP3 is a bit complicated to operate.
