Digital camera reviews of Creative Zen X-Fi 8 GB Video MP3 Player with Built-In Speaker (Black/Silver)
Digital camera Review: A great player with minor faults
Summary: 4 Stars
This player is the best sounding player I have ever heard. The screen is bright and looks tremendous. However, there are a few things lacking that should be considered. The on/off switch is woefully inconvenient, it takes at least 3 button pushes to change the volume, the expansion slot must be accessed seperately from the internal memory, only MP3s can be played from the SD card and the corner buttons on the 9 button pad are never used. I was disappointed to find out after receiving my player that the 8GB version DOES NOT have WiFi ability. This was not apparent in the product description.
All things considered, if you want a great sounding MP3 player, you can't beat this one for the money. If you want to view the occasional video, the screen is amazingly clear. Overall, I am quite pleased with the Zen X-fi.
