Creative Zen Vision W MP4 Player Review

This is yet another media player from Creative Labs. Those who read my previous reviews will know that Creative is a leading brand in media players. This is another media player by them. It comes with a 4.3" LCD screen that is almost the same as the PSP from what I've heard. The internal memory is in the hard drive format, with capacity of up to 30GB. It can play both AVI and MP4 format videos. This is good because many video files on the internet are of the AVI format. For those without a video converter, they can just upload it into the player and watch it. It can also store photographs. There is even an AV out function to fix it to a TV but I never had the chance to try that. It boasts a battery life of 8 hours video playback, the best I've ever seen so far. Problem is with the hard drive. It is so sensitive that even the slightest knock will cause some memory problem. It comes at a price of $300. In general, it is a good media player. It would be a big rival to the iPods if only the price was lower.
