Digital camera Review: Works well, if you use the right software and vdeo format types.
Summary: 4 Stars
Sandisk has long had a name for its flash memory. Sandisk has also been in the mp3 player market for quite some time now. It's latest offering, the Sansa view makes a serious effort to compete in to the video side of the market.
At first sight, the player appears to have had a major increase in size from its predecessor, the e200. This is further emphasized by the excellent video playback the unit offers. Yet the screen size is only up by 0.6 of an inch. San disk accomplished this with a few different tricks. First, Sandisk , the company did with its e200 players, has the video set up to play length ways across the players screen. meaning, you turn the player sideways to play video back. This gives the player a wide screen effect. Second, Sandisk installed 320 x 240 screen on the unit, making the video look incredible! While 320 X 240 may seam a little on the low resolution side, let us remember that that resolution is being shown on a screen just under 2.5 inches in size. Also, 320 X 240 is the same resolution as a standard deff TV is putting out. this Makes the screen seam larger then it actually is. I find it to be the perfect media/mp3 player for the commute on the subway. It fits right in the Palm Of my hand. Meaing I can hold on to the hand rail with one hand and hold the Sansa View in the other. This is all with out blooking the screen or feeling like Im going to drop it.
speaking of video, Unlike the the views predecessor, the e200, the view will sync video through windows media player. This means that there is no need, at least for PC users dont know if windows media play is on the mac, to use Sandisk video converter which, form my own experience, was very poky and dose not support that many file types. The best thing about being able to sync video though windows media player, is the ability to take "non protected only", media center recorded TV shows and sync them to the player. Just, like any other video, open the sync tab drag the videos in place and click start sync. While this may take time,the results are stunning! The file size is kept so small that I can fit something like over 22 1 hour TV episodes on the 16gb version, and yet, this does nothing to effect the quality of the video or sound at all! the secret appears to be in the way the video is converted in windows media player. As to just what it is, I don't know.
The players micro sdcard slot will allow the playing of MP3's form the micro sd cards but NOT!! vidoe. My advice is to put you music on sdcards to maximize the amount of videos you can fit on the player.
like any peace of technology this player has bugs. Most notably is a bug that cases the player to fast froward music and video instead of rewinding. The latest firm ware seams to have corrected this and a few other problems.
Over all, this MP3/Video player is a great value!
