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.

I would buy the Roam. Has a rotatable lens. Have mine mounted sideways in car. Roam has rechargeable battery. PLUS instant on record. Midland unit has a 8 second delay runs through batteries like nobody's business.

I use it why my Vision:M and couldn't disagree more. With my old Creative Zen Nomad 40GB it was perfect. With the Vision:M, with no custom EQ, it becomes distorted. No setting I've used works. I don't understand why it's doing this, but it has me interested in buying another one.

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.

I am torn between these exact same two camcorders also. Looking forward to your follow-up post!

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.

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....

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!!!

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.

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.

For me it depends on how u want to use. I use mine mostly for internet use, viewing mail, texting. I haven't used for viewing any videos, but have viewed YouTube.

I agree with Andrew, I have both an Archos 604 and a Creative Zen, and the Archos is definitely washed out, (especially if you upgrade to the latest firmware) and the LCD screen has a slow refresh rate, which means there is some ghosting and motion blur, I was a little disppointed with the Archos screen, on the other hand the Creative Zen just has a more brighter and more color rich screen, and doesn't suffer from any ghosting like the Archos does. However, the Archos does have recording capabilities and has a cool design and kickstand. I am keeping the Archos for its recording capabilities(and cool design/menu system) and the Creative for its video quality and features.

Love my Sigma. It is fantastic lens for the money. If video is a requirement, I recommend the Sony. The OSS makes for much better video. BTW - when I shoot video, I change to 16-50 lens with OSS.

The "normal" lenses work quite well when using video. I would assume that the maros do as well - it'd be interesting to see if I could do an "Angry Fire Ant" video! The kit is an excellent value.

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?

I purchased the Samsung SSG-4100GB glasses for about $20.00. The small coin battery seems to last forever. While I haven't watched any 3D movies with them, my soon and I have played Assassin's Creed III and other 3D-aware games for extended durations and enjoyed the immersion of the 3D effects. I might get the more expensive glasses when I'm less worried about teenager damage.
