Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa e270 6 GB MP3 Player with SD Expansion Slot (Black)
Digital camera Review: Finally, the drag and drop MP3 player I have always wanted
Summary: 4 Stars
I have had the Sony Network Walkman and the Apple Nano Ipod.
Both sucked with the proprietary software to get MP3s on to the device.
This is the best MP3 player out there right now.
The only reason why I gave it 4 starts was due to the USB cable which has a proprietary connector. If you lose this cable, you are screwed and will have to try and buy a replacement from SanDisk.
Digital camera Review: Forget those hard drive players!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
With the new firmware update this player is great. I had the 20 Gig Zen Touch and it died on me after a year and a half. Being in the market for a new player I wanted the highest capacity flash player I could find. With the 1 Gig Micro SD it runs at 7 gigs and that's just about enough for me. Being used to 20 Gigs I had to be picky. Atleast, I can run with this one. Video is always an option, but just not enjoyable with the small screen.Digital camera Review: GREAT - BUT DON'T BUY FOR THE FM RADIO
Summary: 4 Stars
I did not want to spend the money for a ipod. This mp3 player had everything i wanted. It had a fm radio with fm recorder. I can replace the battery. You can store pictures and video. I have not tried this. It also has a voice recorder. The FM radio has poor reception but I read that the ear plugs are an antenna. If you move it the reception becomes clearer. I find this cumbersome. I purchased mainly for storing music. You can also add memory.
I did have trouble when I down loaded the software. It froze everyday. I was ready to ship it back. I called customer service and a nice rep walked me through reformatting. I have not had any problem since.
I am 55 years old and had some trouble using windows media player. After using media player a few times, I had no problem downloading files. I do get some errors in the media player but I believe it is a windows issue since i get codec errors once in awhile. I purchased a case to protect and keep scratch free.
The only negative thing i can think of is the reception on the FM radio. I would like to see AM on mp3 players because I listen to sports but I don't think that there are plans for this.
Digital camera Review: Good MP3 Player
Summary: 4 Stars
I spent an imense amount of time looking for an MP3 player because I was particular about the features that I wanted. Those features were:
1. A rechargeable battery.
2. A non-proprietary mp3 download format (Get tunes from anywhere)
3. The capability to play music videos.
4. Ergonomic design.
5. Nice full color screen.
6. A large storage capacity.
7. An easy to navigate menu format.
I found all of these things with the SanDisk Sansa e270 Player. If I am being honest, there were only 2 other companies in the competition and they were I-Pod and Sony. The comparable I-Pods did not have half of the features of the Sansa or half of the storage capacity. They just don't look as cool either! As far as the Sony, well Sony has a major problem. Their MP3 players are excellent in design and function...probably the best on the market for overall features in a compact format. The problem with Sony is that their operating system for music downloads is lousy! It is aggressively proprietary, which means that files downloaded from other sites are impossible to switch to the Sony format. Even files ripped from a CD to your computer are difficult to transfer to Sony's format if they were weren't originally stored that way!! The Sansa not only had all of the features that I wanted, it also had picture capability as well as voice recording and FM radio. I-Pod and Sony have been resting on their laurels...try the new SanDisk. It beats all of the competition out there!
Digital camera Review: Good Player, but needs refindments
Summary: 4 Stars
This MP3 player is good and easy to use, and easy to download music from your CDs from Windows Media Player.
However one big drawback, the Sansa does not have a recharge plug. The USB plug must be pluged into the USB port of ones computer, which is OK if one has their computer on, however on the road without a computer can pose a problem if one needs to recharge their Sansa e270. This was an over sight or SanDisk had their head where the sun does not shine when they designed this system. Hopefuly SanDisk will see the light and continue to give iPod a run for the money.
