  • Awesome Video Player, A Bit Bulky
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I bought the Creative Zen Vision W in October after figuring out that I would need more space than my Sansa e260 was currently offering. Before I bought this product, I had researched the Zune 30 GB and the iPod Classic. I ultimately decided on this product because I had read from various reviews that the 6th generation iPod was a lemon and the Zune software left something to be desired. I have been satisfied so far with the Creative. It plays almost any video format I throw at it and shows the video beautifully. I originally had thought that I would be put off watching videos on the screen and would be using the AV cables to watch on my tv most of the time. I was wrong. The screen is more than satisfactory to watch a movie on or various episodes of a tv show. As a video player, this exceeded my expectations and it's great. The audio on the Creative is awesome; everything sounds crisp and clear after you get rid of the stock earbuds and get better earbuds. The Creative also works well with Windows Media Player which was definitely a plus for me. One of the cons of the Creative is it's software, which is not all that great. I've only used it a couple of times because I had Windows Media Player, but the couple of times I did use it, it would not convert the videos that the Creative player originally couldn't play. I would have to use 3rd party software to convert most of the videos that actually needed converting. The biggest con for me was the Creative's bulkiness. While I had read reviews that said that this was a somewhat bulky player, I didn't think that it would be much of a problem for me. But it was. In my opinion, it's far too big to act as a person's primary mp3 player. I was forced to use it as my primary player after my Sansa e260 stopped working. It was far too big for my coat pockets and I had too keep it in my purse, which is not good for me since I'm a picky person and tend to skip a lot of the songs I have in my player if I'm not in the particular mood for them. This is a good player if watching videos is your primary reason for getting it. If you're planning on playing more music than video, I suggest getting a smaller mp3 player. I actually decided to get an iPod Classic as my primary mp3 player last month and use the Creative as a video player for when I want to watch movies or shows and a tv is not anywhere near. So, to wrap this up, the Creative is an excellent choice for a video player since it plays almost any video format. The screen also displays the videos sharply and clearly. However, if you are looking for an mp3 player and are planning on scarcely playing video than I suggest a smaller mp3 player since the bulkiness can be a problem. ... show more

  • I Love CREATIVE!
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
I looked for a very long time to find just the right MP3 player for me. I read all the reviews and did comparisons and researched everything I could think of. I wanted a digital photo viewer, an MP3 player (or even better WMA files since I've got my ENTIRE music collection ripped to my Windows Media Player and really didn't relish the thought of having to convert them all to another format), and if it could play videos GREAT! In the end, I decided the the Creative Zen Vision W was for me. I am SO GLAD I chose the Vision W. Although I sometimes wish I had gone for the 60GB LOL, the 30GB has plenty of room for my 5000+ songs, pictures of my kids, and some videos to boot. The wide screen makes a big difference in viewing as well. The external speaker is only mono, but it's perfectly adequate for those times when you don't want to use headphones. The only downside is that the radio will only play if you have the headphones plugged in (they act as the antenna). All in all I'm extremely pleased with my purchase. UPDATE! January 9, 2009 Nearly 2 years of daily use and still going STRONG! And I really do mean DAILY! The radio in my van doesn't work at all, so I have a set of external speakers that I purchased (because I wanted stereo sound and you just have no idea what a PITA it would be to rewire that stinking van LOL). I can not even begin to express how much I love this thing, I take it everywhere! I am SO SAD Creative has stopped manufacturing this product. But I can tell you this, if this one ever dies (and I hope it will be a long time before it does, but even if it were tomorrow I'd think I got my money's worth), I will definitely be looking at the new line of Creative products when I go shopping for a new one. ... show more

  • If only Apple's Marketing campaign wasn't so well-funded
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
What to say about the single-best mp3 player out today...For those of you not just looking for a gym tool to shuffle through the same songs time and time again, take a look at the Creative Vision W. The screen is amazingly large and the images crisp. A nice feature of the Creative Player is its search options. You can search audio or video files by first letter of the name or by specific words, which cuts down on scroll-through time when you find the file. You can also charge the device via DC wall charger, USB 2.0 when plugged into the computer, or via Dock connection (just like the iPod) allowing you a bit of versatility if you misplace one of your cords. The Creative wall charger has a built in adapter to allow you to adapt to international wall sockets as well. One of the benefits of Creative's player over an iPod would be its incredible ability to accept virtually an file type you throw at it from AVI's, WMV's to MPEG-2's, and it NEVER changes your file extensions. Any video file you upload to the device has the option to be stretched to fit the screen in different ways so that the video dimensions fit the screen nicely instead of skewed. The Creative Vision W also still has the ability for PodCasting (Or ZENCasting) but any audio (as opposed to video) casting has to be converted to video files before uploading. Fortunately, Creative's Media Software converts any file you send its way to a playable format if you want it to. Oh just wait, it gets better... The player also has a compact flash reader on the side and allows you to import image files (sorry, none of the video) direct from your CF card. You can only import pictures by the LAST 10-100 pictures taken, as opposed to being able to browse the photos before importing, but for photographers, like myself, the device is still helpful as a PREVIEW tool for images that appear crisp in the viewfinder but were actually flawed and should be deleted. I often use the device as a preview for clients since the images fill the screen perfectly. And for those of you that do not use CF cards, there is a CF 5-in-1 adapter that you can plug into the slot and will accept multiple card types, including SD. Single-handedly, I would say the device has severely brought down my electric bill due its versatility. I can use it to play any video OR audio file onto my TV via its digital a/v out option (which is also helpful to use as a stereo in the house)...Speaking of stereos, did I mention the device also has an FM tuner?? Ha. Now, it is unfortunate that the tuner is only engaged and able to search for stations when you have something plugged into the headphone jack, but if you ever plug an FM tuner from your car's cigarette lighter (yes! they are available, you just have to search around, as I found mine on eBay) into the headphone port, you're fine to broadcast your music over the car's radio. I can even broadcast the audio from the video files on the car's radio, almost getting that drive-in movie feel when I watch videos (especially nice on road trips). When headphones aren't plugged in, the player allows you to hear the audio directly from its speaker, and you can adjust the volume accordingly with buttons on the top. As far as the quality of this audio goes, I would suggest you to put the same faith in it as you place in ANY Creative Soundblaster sound card. Heh. Wonderful, isn't it? Some would complain about the device not having a click wheel but I tend to think of it as my portable all-purpose media device, something that a click-wheel would actually prove to be incredibly cumbersome for. Being a PC nerd, sorry Mac users, this is the ultimate device for you. The device is a little heavier than you may be used to, but when you think about all that it can do, you stop thinking about it. My only advice to people researching MP3 players to buy is to weigh what it is that you want out of a player. Do you want to just play music at the gym or do you want the best-possible player invented? Heh. And for you iTouch users, Creative's X-Fi player has Wi-Fi on it, so you won't even miss that. The Zen Vision W is well worth the money I paid for it. My only regret is that I bought the 30GB instead of the 60GB heh. For what Apple charges to upload files to its devices (as you often have to purchase them) you get the money that you invest in a creative player by uploading your free media ALONE. My recommendations: ------------------ 1 - Buy the player 2 - Buy a screen protector (the Sony PSP protectors fit this screen) 3 - Buy a protective case (to secure your investment) 4 - Enjoy! ... show more
