Creative Zen Vision W 60GB MP3 and Video Player - Slim Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Prior to purchasing the Zen Vision W 60GB Slim I looked at several different options, including the 30/80 GB ipods, the Zune, and of course, Creative's other products, such as the Zen Vision M and the regular Zen Vision W.I picked the Zen Vision W because of the screen size, the capacity, and because I wanted a device that could tackle both my movie needs and my music needs.

The Good:
1. Just as slim as the 30GB model.I personally felt the normal 60GB version was slightly hefty.This is a great size for a media player that can play movies.
2. Awesome for movies--just the right screen size--I wouldn't want it any smaller.
3. Easily replaceable battery, which none of the aforementioned players have.If I want another 4.5 hours of movie time, I can just pop in another battery.If the battery dies on me one day, I don't have to deal with any replacement programs.
4. Extremely easy to transfer music and movies with the media manager that comes with it.It's also a cinch to convert movies if they need converting.
5. Supports DivX and Xvid movie formats.
6. 60 GB size is just right for plenty of high bit-rate music and movies
7. Comes with AV cable to hook up to the TV.Great for showing pictures, music videos, or movies.It's also a no-brainer--you just plug it in.

The Bad:
1. I wasn't hugely impressed with the sound quality (not that it's bad--you just have to mess with the EQ settings to get what you like--and that isn't too hard, just annoying)
2. It lacks the no-stops playing feature (i.e. from song to song) that the i-pod has.
3. Not suitable for working out--it's simply too big.The Zen Vision W is best enjoyed sitting down.

Bottom Line: If you are interested in watching TV shows or movies on your media player, this model is a great choice.The wide screen makes watching media a great experience, and it's still great for listening to some tunes while on a plane or in a car.If you are looking for a media player mainly for listening to music on the go, this probably isn't the right choice for you because of the size.
