ARCHOS 3Cam Vision Multimedia Player

By ras (pixmania.co.uk) Read the full review

I bought this player as I wanted a camera, video camera and voice recorder in one box. One gets an extremely nifty touchscreen and intuitive access to all the music files. No software is needed, its just drag and drop. Although I have not used up all...

Very intuitive interface, and no software required

Would have enjoyed having the choice of a 16GB version

sleek to touch, slick to use

By peter (ebuyer.com) Read the full review

The vision 3 Archos player is light but tough, with 8 gb of memory it has ample space for your music or video clips. controls are simple to use and connectors for charging are the common usb.

Archos 3 Vision

By Stuart Andrews (trustedreviews.com)

The Archos 3 offers excellent performance, but is marred by a shocking UI and mixed format support.

A near miss for Archos. The 3 Vision offers a compelling combination of style, features and A/V performance for comparatively little money, but usability issues hold it back.

Archos 3 Vision 8GB review

By (expertreviews.co.uk)

Archos's 3 Vision is one of an increasing number of portable audio and video players to have a touchscreen.

The Archos Vision 3's fiddly control system, short battery life and poor screen let it down.

Archos 3 Vision

By (whathifi.com)

We find it hard to look past the disastrous interface ? if you can, there are some neat functions here

Minimalist design; abundance of functions; FM radio recording and FM transmitter are smart additions

Feels flimsy; very poor interface, tricky to navigate; so-so performance

Archos 3cam Vision

By mfereday (gadgetspeak.com)

A recent addition to the Archos range of personal multimedia players is the company’s MP4 device entitled 3cam Vision. This unit arrives with 8GB of storage for holding music, video, pictures and other content. This is a small device measuring 97 x 52...

Archos 3cam Vision review

By Nick R (tracyandmatt.co.uk)

If at this stage you are still wondering just exactly why the Archos is called the 3cam vision allow me to explain, at the bottom of the back of the device sits a VGA camera capable of both stills and video recording, promising as it sounds the...

Battery Life ; Audio & Visual Quality

Unresponsive touch screen ; Poor Camera Quality

Although a nice idea it does seem like the camera can certainly be filled in the after thought category and just did not meet par when compared to the quality of other features of the Archos

Make no bones about it: the Archos 3 Vision is a killer alternative to the powers of the spanking new iPod nano, with a spec sheet that'll sate tech heads, music buffs and mobile video junkies alike. And at just a penny shy of £90, it offers killer...

Great file support, killer looks, excellent sound quality and gorgeous screen

Manufacturer's Description


The ARCHOS 3 vision is the latest in a new line of MP3 players, with an impressive 3" tactile screen that covers the whole surface of the device. You can access all your favorite features with the brand new virtual wheel selector, which provides a whole new browsing sensation. No matter where you are in the media library your favorite feature is only a spin away. The ARCHOS 3 vision is extremely compact and lightweight and will easily fit in pretty much any kind of pocket. Yet it's so pretty you may want to show it off instead of hiding it there. Pick your favorite use: you can listen to up to 4,000 songs, stored on a 8GB flash drive, and enjoy superb audio quality for up to 14 hours. Or you can view back photos in a great panoramic view; or you can choose to do both, with music slideshows; why compromise? If you add to that a voice and audio recorder, a stopwatch and a calendar, what you've got here is just the perfect tool at the perfect price.
