Digital camera reviews of SanDisk Sansa e270 6 GB MP3 Player with SD Expansion Slot (Black)
Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Oh if only I could rate this item with negative stars!
What a piece of trash! The design of the player is nice and I love how I can drag and drop files through explorer, but just as I am starting to enjoy my player, it breaks.
The first one didn't last a week. It just stopped turning on by day six. The second one didn't last a week either and it also stopped turning on. Sandisk obviously doesn't care about quality control, since both players malfunctioned in under seven days. And yes, the batteries were charged and I did not in any way damage the player to cause the problems.
I'm returning my piece of trash and requesting a refund that I will probably spend on an i pod. I hate i pods, but I hate being jerked around even more.
Here's a word of advice to the potential customer. Save the packaging. I guarntee by day six your player will break too.
Digital camera Review: Daughter LOVES it
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my daughter for her birthday. She LOVES it. Great price $150 from Amazon. From what little I've seen of Ipods works basically the same. 6Gb should hopefully last her a while. Expandable with SD card if she goes over 6Gb. The screen is bright and beautiful. The scrolling menu is sharp. She's had no complaints.Digital camera Review: Dead out of the box - at first
Summary: 4 Stars
My Sansa was dead out of the box. I contacted support (very helpful) and within a day they recommended that I open the unit and re-seat the battery. Well, it turns out that the battery was installed upside down, thus not making contact to charge. After rectifying this, the unit is performing great!Digital camera Review: Decision...Decision
Summary: 2 Stars
I have done lots of research for about 2 months and compared many differentproducts and listened to their sound quality at the local stores. Icompared Sansa e200 series, iPod nano, iRiver, Creative Zen, and some otherbrands. If you are into gadgets and you don't run/jog or rigorous/bouncingtype of exercise then the iPod 30g+ and Zen V M 30g+ are at the top withZune 30g+ following close behind. If you are not into making a fashionstatement then the Zen V M 30g+ is the best deal (more bang for you buck).If you're into gadgets like watching movies on tiny screen and accessoriesthat allows you to plug your player into the toaster then I would recommendthe iPod 30g+ but don't forget the Zen has better display and betterbattery life. Both of them are easy to use unless you are totally computerilliterate then I would say the iPod would be the better choice. Soundquality are about the same. If you are really into music and more likely touse your player for exercising then the best deal is the Sansa e270 ore280. I bought the e270 (6 gigs) because Amazon has it cheaper than theiPod 2 gigs. If you like to download lots of music then go with theiPods/iTunes otherwise Sansa/Rhapsody is as good. I hope this help you withyour buying decision.Digital camera Review: Do All The People Who Have Reviewed This Product Work for SanDisk??
Summary: 2 Stars
They must b/c I don't know how they're all so happy with it.
I'm not going to write a long diatribe here, but I want to caution potential buyers of the e270.
For starters, it's NOT compatible with Napster To Go nor Y! Music Unlimited To Go subscription-based services. It is compatible with Rhapsody, but set up is difficult and you MUST HAVE USB 2.0 on your computer. The MTC protocol (see, I told you it is difficult. . . and I'm not that technologically savvy) only works with USB 2.0, not 1.1, which I have.
Also, it scratches way easily. If you do purchase this product then get a cover for it.
The controls are sluggish in terms of moving from one song to the next, but the scroll wheel is pretty cool.
I also wish the sound output and the bass response were better. The bass is a little flat for my taste and when you're in the gym or on a plane, you can hear all sorts of backround noise b/c it isn't loud enough. (And yes, I went ahead and purchased the Shure earphones for $150 and I'm still not pleased with the sound performance).
I can't totally trash the player, although I'm super dissapointed with it. . .especially in light of how much money I spent on it.
Customer Support has been great. Quick and responsive. The player design is cool. It's small, but not to tiny so that the controls are difficult to operate. The scroll wheel is cool and the graphic display is bright and cool looking.
Overall, if you're looking for a player that's compatible with all of the music to go, subscription-based services, look further than the e270. If you are cool with paying per song, go with the Nano and itunes. Oh, and who cares about the expansion slot. 6GBs are enough.
