Creative Zen Vision:M 30GB Review

December 19th 2005 | Multimedia

The Creative Zen Vision:M is the first formidable opponent that the video iPod faces. It is very feature-rich, yet some functions are not very well executed. The button layout is logical, but not very intuitive. The most praised area is its stellar DivX/XviD performance as well as the beautiful screen. The video battery life (twice that of 30GB video iPod) is also a fair tradeoff for the large casing. In the end, Microsoft support for PlayforSure stores will ensure a variety of content to fill up your Zen Vision:M.

Feature-wise, the 30GB Zen Vision:M supports JPEG, MPEG-1/2/4, WMV, DivX, and XviD with an estimated 4.5 hours of showtime - double that of the 30GB iPod. When used as an audio player, MP3, WMA (with DRM) and WAV are all supported up to 320kbps that can carry a tune for 14 hours. And like all things Creative, the Zen Vision:M has an FM Tuner and Voice Recorder.
