Creative Zen Vision: M
Creative's video capable Zen Vision: M is its best player yet. Has it finally done enough to best the iPod?
The Zen Vision: M is the best media player Creative has yet released and as such, demands attention. The quality of its display is its biggest assest over the fifth generation iPod, and it offers navigation innovations such as a shortcut button. It’s...

Creative Zen Vision:M (30GB) review
An imitation of a better model that doesn't quite satisfy
Nice iPod-like styling ; very good picture and sound performance
The iPod Classic is even better
The Vision M is something of an iPod imitator, but it doesn’t quite match its inspiration

Creative Zen Vision:M review
The Creative Zen Vision:M does Music, films, TV, radio and photography with a 30GB hard drive and high-res colour screen
An Apple a day won’t keep the Vision:M away – Creative’s latest jukebox is, without a doubt, its greatest

Creative Zen Vision:M
Creative isn't new to the portable media player market – the Vision:M represents its third model with video playback capabilities, while arch-rival Apple is still on its first with the fifth-generation iPod.
While the iPod has a couple of advantage over the Vision:M – namely thinness and price – it's beaten on almost every other score. Creative almost undoubtedly has a runaway hit on its hands.

Creative Zen Vision: M
The company that created the digital music player market now snaps forever at Apple's heels, but it's close to drawing blood. Creative has suffered a few embarrassing misfires, so it's great to see it back on track with the Zen Vision range
Great video playback quality, Versatile and easy to use
Awkward touchstrip
Superior technology, but so-so design

Creative - Zen Vision:M
"It's like an iPod Video, but not made by Apple." Creative, along with other Apple competitors, has been struggling against this perception since the iPod defined the market. Yet despite bearing more than a passing resemblance ...
The Creative Zen Vision:M beats the iPod Video hands down at video format support and screen quality. Although we wouldn't recommend watching entire movies on it, it's perfectly acceptable for TV and home movie clips. Once you've mastered the...

Creative Zen Vision:M.
It was with a little trepidation that we received Creative's new media player, the 30GB Zen Vision:M. Having reviewed the <a href=" http://www.goodgea...
Great design, awesome screen, unparalleled file support
Average touchpad control
The Creative Zen Vision:M blows the iPod Video out of the water and stands over its broken visage with a gleeful grin. If you are looking for a reasonably price Portable Media Player, this is the one to get.

Creative Zen Vision:M reviewed
It shouldn't be surprising that Anything But iPod likes the Creative Zen Vision:M (there does seem to be just a little bit of bias in the site's name), and ABi's review of the Vision:M certainly does highlight the PMP's strong points. Among the ...

Creative ZEN Vision:M 30GB Media Player - Black (2.5
Despite a few shortcomings, Creative's Zen VisionM is a great Apple iPod alternative. I tested a 30GB shipping model of the video-ready music device ($300 as of 7/21/06), which possesses the finest color screen I've ever seen on a portable player.
High audio qualityHigh audio quality ; Great screen for photos and video
Audio codec support somewhat limited ; Requires dongle to charge and sync files
The VisionM has a touchpad and delivers great-looking video. However, it needs a dongle to sync files.
