Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen X-Fi 16 GB Video MP3 Player with Wireless LAN and Built-In Speaker (Black/Silver)

Digital camera Review: A Great Media Player
Summary: 5 Stars

I do like the Creative Zen X-Fi. It is well made, with great sound and video.

You can read about it's capabilities on other reviews and the Creative Zen website.

You'll need to go to various websites that review this one - to get adequate
instructions as to it's features. The paperwork that comes with it is useless.

Except for the design of some of the buttons having no function whatsoever.
This is a very good audio and video player for the size and the price.

UPDATE: 05/2010

After using this for many months now - I have to add that this player is very
good for all it does! I really like it. I have since bought the Creative
Labs Travelsound speaker system. Very Cool. - Not only does it work well,
I like it's portability. The Travelsound charges the Creative Zen when it
is docked and plays all of your media, including the radio perfectly
(without the need for a 'antenna') And like the Creative Zen itself - the
Travelsound sounds great for it's size.

The only downside to these great products has to be the lack of a much more
comprehensive user guide. The current, downloadable, user guide is very basic.
Too basic. And the Creative Centrale software that you use to import media to
the device is cumbersome and not as seamless as it claims to be. I found using
other third party media converters (like Media Monkey) to be much more efficient.

All in all - I would recommend these Creative Zen products. One additional plus -
unlike the i products, Creative Zen products are not part of a closed system.
You can import, convert and enjoy any and all of the formats available
to your media without constraint. A big big plus.
