Zen Vision M or this one? Let's just say I can afford the Vision M. I hardly watch videos, so which should I get?

I would suggest this one. The Vision M is a lot bigger. I didnt think it was by the measurements until I saw one at Best Buy and the thing is huge. Bigger than a 30gig iPod

I would say this one because I've had it for a year with no problems. My son, though has had two Vision M's that died in a few months. Truthfully, though, with his experience and the lack of support, I wouldn't buy another Creative product.

This 14mp camera is awesome... It has the iauto feature plus drama shot and 5x zoom... It would make a great replacement to your camera... having 30 different scenes and filters and illuminated screen are great features... If you can afford 10 USD more you can get te 16MP VR-340 if you want better zoom... That has 10x zoom and a make-up filter... however it has less filters an scenes so... I would recommend either one for a replacement to your camera...

I have a 720 mju and I love it. I was also looking at the Pentax WP10... but I went with the 720mju for several reasons-There's a higher ISO sensativity.-Digital image stabilization(this feature is niiiice... no accidental blurry photos!)-Overall build quality. It just feels rock-solid which is good for me because I do lots of hiking/climbing and stuff. I know I'll manage to drop this thing on the ground eventually... the shock-proof feature is nice.I personally don't have a problem with the button sizing. It seems a bit small, but they're spaced far enough apart so you don't hit things accidently.Cheers. I have a 720 mju and I love it.

I too am stuck! Although POWER is supposedly better than MEGA I think either would be sufficient... I've read places that POWER is more of a software improvement and just processes things faster. Mechanically they are similar.It comes down to video as you both mentioned. I'm off to France in 3 weeks and would like a camera upgrade from 5 years ago. But which?! lolOne other thing I was thinking about with MJPEG vs AVCHD: Since MJPEG uses twice as much space, you'd need twice as fast a card to keep up with the video being written to it, otherwise you'll get dropped frames/choppiness.

The Eyeclops only zooms in 200 times...older version and more expensive, go figure?!?!?! The Eyeclops Multiezoom magnifies up to 400 times and is the newer version but way cheaper.

Hello Aaron. I wish I have the Glidecam to compare both units. I can tell you the Opteka works and do good videos. If you read the reviews on other brands, you'll see lot of complains on setup and quality. Well, that is not a problem with this unit. Setup is really easy and the quality is pretty decent. My "concern" is that it's heavy and after some time, you will feel the weight. I wish Opteka could replace some parts and use aluminum to make it a "perfect" unit (price v/s quality). Now, keep on mind this is for fun... I tried on some parties and all my friends got in love with the unit. BUT if you want to make some money and do it professional, then you'll need to pay more. I hope this helps....

Don't write off the Zune yet. I've had Zen Micro Photos and one terrible characteristic is that the screen is unreadable outdoors. I'm not sure if this is true of the ZVM but some sites I've seen suggest it is. Here are the areas where the Zune beats the Zen: - more scratch resistent and resilient (Zune has a rubberized coating which helps protect it from scratches and drops) - bigger screen - if you do use it for videos the Zune display is the biggest and best - RDS support - if you use the radio you may get station and track ID info - seemingly slightly better battery life, thinner, and lighter (although a bit longer). The Zune is a bit rough around the edges, but it will only get better with new firmware. Microsoft started the project in January, so its still early days. There may be some innovative applications yet of the wifi, and there are rumors of games to come - the Zune has a pretty powerful CPU and does come from the XBox division. Pre-Zune I would say the ZVM was definitely the device to get but the Zune is definitely a contender.

Spend the extra $50 and get a Vortex 2-7 BDC. Loads of eye relief, fantastic optics and the best customer service there is. It will cost you less in the long run.

Hey Fusion, I'm just dissapointed really. I mean i filled my Vision M 30 to max capacity, and you cant find the 60 Gb's of the Vision M or W any more. I just need more space man, lol. And i've been in the zen nation for 4 years starting with my first, the Zen Micro 5gb, and i dont want to have to leave the zen nation, i love their products. But one thing confused me in your post, what does "lack of moving parts mean"?

The Z100 creates decent looking 3D video, easily and at a very low cost. I wouldn't expect Avatar, but for $150, I think you know that. The Stereoscopic effect is strongest between 3 and 10 feet from the camera, but at longer distances you will see the 3D effect weaken. Beyond about 50 feet, everything just about flattens out. Also, the camera records split screen Left / Right eye by compressing both into half of the HD width, so you lose some resolution. That said...I love my Z100. It's a great entry point into 3D video, but don't expect Hollywood quality video. Search Youtube and you'll find examples of 3D footage shot with this cam. Judge for yourself.

I actually ended up w/ Pana ZS1. Got a deal from Costco and felt it suited me fine because I don't ever use the video. I like it better than Canon so far because I don't have to adjust it all the time for a decent shot.

M+ is really better. Well not so much better but a little faster in writing the picture data onto the card, especially video. It's better for capturing video that is moving. But the XD cards now are pretty much obsolete, and only older cameras use them. That is what I bought mine for.

Go for the one that has the most contrast. It will give you a better and better sight picture.

Not sure about this one but the one I have dose. It's the Phantom Vision 2 and I love it, a real work horse for me and my business.

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.
