Zen Vision M or this one? 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 agree with Jorge.I have an old zen and I just got the MX.I will never buy another Zen until they show they care about their customers.I am looking for a mew Mp3 player as I speak.

I haven't had any problems with the headphone jack. I have a Creative Zen Sleek (with the monochrome screen) and have had it for about 8 months. The only problems I have had are: 1) Dust under the screen (seems pretty common, but there are now jackets and cases available which might alleviate that), 2) The thing has locked up a few times (maybe 4 times since I got it), and 3) I get an error when trying to configure the removable disk feature. As far as the price, is you spend another $24 you can get the Creative Zen Vision with 10 more Gigs, a larger screen and VIDEO!!!

No view finder. Good battery life for still shots, but videos are a different story. I get about 30 minutes of video per set of batteries.

I bit the bullet and went with the Sony. Mainly because Circuit City was offering it for $329. Also because it had a better fps and ISO capabilities, if I remember correctly. The 4 gigs of memory set me back $59 though and the case was another $20, so that put me at $415 after tax. I must say that this thing takes awesome pics. I got it mainly for my kids sports. The 2.2 fps and sports mode are nice. The image stabilization seems to do a good job to on other pics. I have not used the remote control yet, but plan on usnig it to try and get some close ups of birds or squirrels, etc on a day when I have nothing else to do. I bit the bullet and went with the Sony.

There is 300 USD difference for a start!You are correct about the mirror. The video auto-focus is far faster and 10fps is the fastest you'll get at that price.

In total honesty, the ZEN is good, The ZEN MX is junk, it has so many problems that it's not worth the money. Do not buy it without doing as much research as you can.Be well.

I prefer the SONY camera. I even have an Old one model ( 1 Megapixel ) with night vision, and even today I've gotten wonderfurl night videos

Have you looked at the Panasonic TM 700K? This is the best video and smallest camcorder around for less than $1000. Flash recording is the way to go for Battery consumption. Would not go into the hard drive versions regardless of the brand

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

Does anybody know if SXT will work with Creative Zen Vision:M player? I'm looking for a good speaker for my Vision which should also charge it.

These carson 3d binocs (TD-842ED is what I have) compare most favorably with the Nikon MK5's and the Vortex vipersI have looked at both and can say I see no real difference, Carson may even be slightly better. I look at things like close focus capabilty, speed of focus (how far do you have to spin the focus wheel to get from minimum to maximum), feel, durability, ease of use (how fast can you "get on" a target like a small bird, for instance) warranty (lifetime for carson, even if you are to blame for the problem!), etc. I don't know anything about zen ray! ew

I wondered about this myself, so I did a little research. The odd thing is, the Creative Zen Vision (no M, no W) is actually more expensive and OLDER than the newer Zen Vision W. AND the Vision W has a wider screen and SLIGHTLY different specs. I did a product comparison on the Creative.com site and discovered they were very similar. http://www.creative.com/products/comparechart/comparechart.asp So I don't understand Creative's logic in making a "lesser" product more expensive. I even went to Creative.com's discussion forum looking for an answer, but it didn't seem that anyone had a reasonable explanation for this. Actually, others are wondering the same thing. My recommendation is buy the Vision W, not the Vision. Creative.com does have a 'contact us' link for support if this doesn't help. One thing I did notice on Amazon's product description for Vision:W was that it had "Other features include a personal organizer that you sync with Microsoft Outlook". Oddly, the Vision doesn't mention this, so I'm assuming it does not have that capability. The Zen Vision 30GB is the same cost as the Vision: W 60GB on Target.com, and virtually the same on Amazon, if the one weren't on "clearance". Any logical differences between the two, for that kind of price difference, eludes me.

Passive. This is the only kind of 3D I can watch. The active shutter glasses would make me nauseous and dizzy.Passive 3D is the best, in my opinion.

I just ordered the ZS7. I first tried the F80 but returned it after finding pictures had a remarkable amount of compression artifact. All the files come out around 4 MP (max) and faces start to look like pastel when you zoom in. That said, it does perform better in low light. If you don't care about HD video consider the F70, which I read is better. (For that matter, the ZS3 is supposed to be better, but I want the bells and whistles.)

I too have Windows Vista and am anxious to find out which- if any players are compatible with it. I have about decided on a Creative Zen V or plus and found one at SecureMart.com for $81.00. I hope someone can answer this for us. Ok- I kept searching and I think I will go with YES! Based on......the Vista Compatible site they listed the Creative M something or other that has 30 and 60 Gb for $299.00. I looked at the requirements and they are exactly the same as the Zen V plus. Does this make sense to anyone but me?

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.
