Creative Zen Vision Review

The Creative Zen Vision was hyped to be the video iPod hardware we all wanted. It looks like it was not meant to be as the device has trouble with fast action animation and does NOT play movies at the high resolution mode of 640x480. That's too bad. The MP3 sound quality and picture slideshow features are good, but you're not buying this for that.

The Creative Zen Vision is a very nice all-around portable media option. Music playback is awesome, some of the best you'll find anywhere. The video playback is decent, though we'd have liked to have seen 640x480 support. The TV-output is great and a major plus for anyone who wants to make use of it. Add in FM radio support, microphone recording and whatever else and the thing is definitely feature-packed.
