Amazon.com Review
In its own right, the Creative Zen Vision:M is a very capable digital audio player, video player, photo viewer, FM radio, and more. Indeed, one could go on and on about how it has the right specifications to make it a constant companion for entertainment on the go. The really big news about this device, though, is that it's the first device to boast complete compatibility with Amazon Unbox, the new digital video and music download service from Amazon.com.
The Zen Vision:M has the features, ease-of-use, and power to become your constant media companion. See the Vison:M interactive demo.
Design Let's get things out in the open. The Apple iPod is the 800-pound gorilla when it comes to the digital media player business and, unavoidably, every other device is measured against it. In most respects, the Vision:M matches up pretty well, and there are few things you may even like better. Length and width dimensions are exactly the same at 4.1 and 2.4 inches respectively. When it comes to girth, though, the iPod has the Vision:M beat; the Vision:M is .7 inches thick, while the iPod measures .4 inches. The Vision:M is slightly heavier, too. These details aside, the Vision:M feels comfortable, yet sturdy, in the hand, with curved surfaces in all the right places.
Creative takes a somewhat different approach with the Vision:M's controls, answering the iPod's Click Wheel with a vertical touch pad--which allows you to scroll up and down menus and control volume--plus four buttons that offer navigation through the user interface. The contextual menu button on the bottom right is a welcome addition, allowing you to make quick settings changes and view information about media files on the fly--functions that are more cumbersome on an iPod. Creative could have made the buttons a bit more sensitive--they require a firm press that gives an overall feeling of clunkiness to an otherwise well-designed user interface. Another annoyance is the touch pad's over-sensitivity; it's easy to make selections unintentionally, sending you on a wild ride through the user interface.
The Vision:M's screen, which measures 2.5 inches diagonally, offers sharp details, vibrant color, and excellent response with little or no video ghosting during high-action sequences. The 320 x 240 resolution is to be expected from a device this size, and although it's small, you'll likely have no trouble enjoying video while you're sitting on the subway or a flight, or in the back-seat of a car. Our only nitpick was the screen's less than stellar viewing angle, especially when compared side-by-side with a video iPod. While this can be good for maintaining privacy, the narrow viewing angle also means that friends beside you will struggle to see anything other than a black screen.
Music, Videos, Photos, and More The Vision:M's music organization scheme is standard fare; you can browse playlists, artists, tracks, albums, and genres. Equalizer settings are robust, with a nice range of automatic settings, plus a custom equalizer that's easy to control. The music library's "DJ" function is a nice touch, allowing you to listen to your most popular tracks. It can also pull up the tunes you listen to least frequently--in case you've got some forgotten tunes lying around on the Vision:M's 30 GB hard drive. Sound quality is everything you'd expect from a top shelf digital audio player, and DRM'd Windows Media files played without a hitch. The device fully supports a whole range of "PlaysForSure" download and subscription services, such as Napster and Yahoo Music. Creative also ships a CD-ripping and music transfer application called MediaSource with the Vision:M.
Playback of Windows Media DRM'd video files (WMV9) was also hassle-free. Purchased videos delivered crisp colors and detail, with no frame drops. Video playback consumes a lot of power, bringing Creative's claim of four hours of video playback into serious doubt. Expect under three hours when watching videos continuously. Thankfully, if you need to come back to your video later the Vision:M's software remembers the timecode of where you left off--unless you power the device down between viewing sessions. In addition to protected and unprotected WMV files, the Vision:M can play MPEG 1/2/4, Motion-JPEG, DivX 4 and 5, and XviD formats, making it a very flexible device with respect to encoding options.
The Vision:M can also store thousands of photos, letting you browse through them or set up a slideshow. The device's TV-out option comes in handy here, as you can present slideshows on a TV or projector. Videos can be displayed this way, too. An FM radio with easy preset tuning functions and great signal reception, plus a voice recorder feature, round out the extra media features. There's also a handy application on the Vision:M that formats a portion of the drive for use as USB 2.0 mass storage, letting you set aside up to 16 GB for data storage.
Connectivity and Synchronization A Creative Sync Adapter ships in the box with the Vision:M, making it a snap to connect the device to a USB 2.0-capable PC. With the connection made, Windows XP recognized the device right off the bat and Windows Media Player immediately asked us if we wanted to load the PC's music onto the Vision:M. Music management and synchronization has come a long way on the PC, and the experience of organizing and transferring music to and from the Vision:M was, barring a few curious click-through boxes, pretty seamless. The Vision:M also supports synchronization of your Outlook contacts, calendar, and tasks, in case you want to use it as a personal organizer of sorts.
Amazon Unbox Integration To be truly successful, the Vision:M has to be more than a great media device, it has to integrate with Amazon Unbox and make the process feel like second nature. Although the Vision:M was tested using a beta version of Amazon Unbox, things are looking good already. Amazon Unbox and the Vision:M go together like peas in a pod, making the process of purchasing, downloading, and enjoying content on the go a real cinch. The Amazon Unbox Video Player, which queues, downloads, organizes, and plays your purchased movies and TV shows, recognized the Vision:M right off the bat. An icon for the Vision:M appears in the devices panel of the application, and you can immediately begin transferring downloaded content to the device. Once you're all loaded up, the Vision:M offers a great way to bring Amazon Unbox entertainment along for the ride.
Pros
Crisp, vibrant color screen is great for video
Generous video format compatibility
Excellent sound quality and music management functions
Cons
Narrow screen viewing angle may be a problem for some
Finicky controls for some functions

Customer Reviews:
I love this, superior to the 30G iPod in many ways........2007-09-13
I would say the Zen Vision:M is the iPod's closest competitor.
I have been very happy with this since I got it. It is slightly thicker than the 30G iPod, but that does not bother me. The height and width are the same.
The screen of the Zen Vision:M is absolutely GORGEOUS! Much better than I even expected. It is wonderful for watching video. Not only is this screen more detailed and colorful than the iPod, but the video battery life is longer.
If you are familiar with the iPod, you will learn this menu system very quickly. I like the built in FM Tuner, which the iPod does not have.
Also, the Zen has greater compatibility with file types and online music stores. It's nice not to be locked into iTunes.
Transfering video and music is easy. It even has audiobook support, which I use a lot with downloads from Audible.com.
The navigation system (the buttons and the touch pad) are a bit tricky at first. But play around with it for a few minutes and you'll get the hang of it.
Overall, I am very happy with this, and with the great capacity (30GB is plenty for me), I don't think I will be needing to purchase another music player for a long time. The Zen Vision: M has everything I need.
Creative Zen .......2007-09-10
The Creative Zen works great. I love everything about it. I can listen to the radio, my favorite tune or look through my photo gallery. I like all the features and highly recommend this product.
Great, great product........2007-09-08
This is an amazing product. I have had it for at least 6 months now, and so far, there are absolutly no problems with it whatsoever. I love my Zen, and it is a much better product than an iPod video. The only problem with it, is if you are switching from an iPod to the Zen... becuase of DRM'd music, and Apple trying to lock you in with the iPod, any bought songs off of iTunes won't work with your Zen. This obviously is not a flaw with the Zen, its Apple being Apple.
Potential But Beware Hard Drive Issues.......2007-09-08
My Creative Zen Vision M suffered a "harddisk failure" that rendered it completely useless less than 4 months after I bought it. That being said, here are my pros and cons of the product when it worked:
PROS:
+ Decent battery life
+ Capable FM tuner - I personally got good reception with it. You can also record FM
+ Videos display well on the screen. Colors have good saturation and images are crisp
+ Sound quality is good
+ 30 GB is more than enough space for music lovers
+ Has a voice recorder function (although it takes a few steps to get to it)
CONS:
- Charging. The Zen doesn't come with an AC Adapter. You must plug it into a USB port on your computer to charge it. Not only that, but there's also a separate adapter that you have to plug into the Zen first before you can even connect it to the USB cable. Heaven forbid you lose the small adapter.
- Hard Drive Failures. I know I mentioned it above, but it sounds like I'm not the only one that this has happened to. Hard Drives should not fail only 4 months after normal use. And no, I didn't use my Zen as a frisbee or anything that would have warranted an early death.
- Included Software. Ugh. Creative's included software with the Zen is uninspiring to say the least. Yes it's functional, but barely. The Video Converter software couldn't convert half the videos I tried using. And this is a player that touts that it can play almost any video file.
- Bulk. The Zen Vision M is fairly bulky compared to other mp3 players, especially compared to flash players.
- The Touchpad/Front Buttons. I guess either you'll love it or hate the interface. I personally thought the vertical touchpad was kinda neat at first, but after awhile it actually became annoying. The biggest problem for me was the touchpad's accuracy while scrolling up/down lists. It liked to skip items. I tried adjusting the sensitivity but it didn't seem to help. The other buttons work okay, but overall I was disappointed.
- It was unable to resume where it left off of on a song whenever I turned the player off for a couple hours. I would turn it back on and it would be in the middle of playing a completely different song every time. This made it impossible to listen to long podcasts or audiobooks.
- Lock-ups. A lot of MP3 players seem to have this problem and my Vision M was no exception.
Overall, I think with some changes the Vision M could've been a good mp3 player. And if the bundled Video Converter software worked more than 50% of the time, I think it would be a good video player as well. However, the hard drive issues and the touchy interface (no pun intended) make this a difficult product for me to recommend.
Swing and a miss.......2007-09-07
1. The product was Dead On Arrival.
2. Amazon couldn't replace the product.
3. Amazon promptly refunded the money in full.
So the service was excellent but this single unit was kaput.

Great Affordable System..........2000-12-05
A great 19" Television. I purschased one for my sons room and he loves it. In the front their is 1 set of av ports (red, yellow and white connectors). This television has great quality! In the back their is a coaxial port for connecting cable,satelite,attena or an VCR. Good remote and nice built in parental controls. Overall an excellent value coompared to others in this class. Only downside is their is no S-Video on the television, a mistake in my opinion because that is where home theater is going. But not many are interested in hooking up a DVD player to a television of such size and if you are you can always use the AV ports in the front. The AV ports are conviently located in the front for easy switching between game systems, DVD player. 1 other small negitive if you wish to use audio out to connect to a audio system this television does not have audio out.
With the FlexScan M1700, EIZO brings together the essential qualities required of a 17-inch monitor for back offices and government facilities: user-friendly features, sharp color and text display and long-term reliability.

I always wanted one.......2002-02-26
SInce I was a kid, I always wanted one of those tiny spy cameras I saw in the movies. Now I have one. I have no idea when or how I'll use this camera, and the small negative guarantees less than stellar picture quality, but who cares. It's neat. The quality is first rate (it is a Minox, after all) and the price was right.
