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.

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.

Sorry, I can't offer any feedback, but I found it funny that someone else is having the same dilemna with the same 2 cameras. So I will also be intersted in hearing any input as well. Is the video capability really worth it?

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.

I have both cameras (z915 and z950) and I would say that the main thing you get with the z950 over the z915 is manual focus and HD video. The 12 mp resolution on the z950 is not significantly better than the 10 mp of the z915, nor is the Schnieder-Kruznach lens on the z950 noticably better than the Retinar lens on the z915. The VGA video on the z915 looks great on non-HD TV sets. Since the z915 can be had for about $130, as opposed to $180 for the z950, I'd say the z915 offers more bang for the buck.

Just get the Phantom 2, and if you are going to do "good" photography get the Gimble mount. Do not get the Phantom vision.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

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

Hi Darlene...sorry it's taken so long for someone to respond to your post! Anyway, I'm the proud owner of a Creative Zen V Plus, and I can honestly tell you that YES, the little bugger playes videos/movies. The player comes with a handful of Creative Zen commercials installed, including a really cute one with a panda! However...the size of the video displayed is REALLY small....literally the size of a postage stamp, maybe smaller than that. Do realize that a Zen V Plus is only slightly larger than Apple's iPod Shuffle, which is one of the smallest players around. If you want to rip DVD's to play on this thing, that I don't know about. I've been able to upload a "home movie" video that I made myself, and Creative has a ZenCast web site that has a bunch of FREE video downloads. If you are wanting to buy a player primarily to play videos, look elsewhere. The Microsoft Zune does a fantastic job with video for a pocket size player. Other than video display, the Zen V Plus is a great little device.

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.

GoPro is good for quality but ghost isn't far behind and mounts A LOT better and more streamlined on the helmet. I use my ghost for motovlogging and it's the go-to for most motovloggers because it's good quality and streamlined. My vote is definitely for the ghost. The sony one sucks. Get a ghost.

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"?

I've had the Zen Vision W for about 5 moths. Never had a problem simply dragging, dropping and playing .mp3 files. Viseo files need to be transfered using Creative Media Explorer. But the "The" will sit at the beginning of the filename, and sort with the T's.

I honestly could not say. My Zen Vision M was already working, just needed the new battery, and it booted up fine as soon as I plugged the battery in, I did not need to do anything extra.

You can find the app on Google play. The Cool Cam works great never regret purchasing it. Vision is clear in the darkest places. As long as you have a good internet connection you should not have any problems. I use it to monitor my baby and it works well even when I am away from home. Hope you get through with yours.

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