"Compact, feature packed, really intuitive player."
Pros: Sharp, Bright Screen. Really good audio, Simple interface and Alot of nice features.
Cons: low visibility in bright light, No in-box Wall Charger, Average in box ear phones.
Summary: I picked up The Zen V plus about 3 weeks ago, and having done my homework before purchasing one, I had an idea on what to expect. It's a great iPod Alternative with a really simple menu system, and drag and drop system with their media software. The sound is rich and strong, with out too many hiccups.
Videos can be automatically converted in creative media explorer which is really convenient for those who don't have conversion software. Photos as well can be downscaled to fit on the screen, so you can have more space for movies and music.
I think that having a seperate volume button is nice, since you don't have to worry too much about hitting the wrong controls.
The only gripes I have about this product are that I wish it came with a AC wall charger, that way I don't need to power up my laptop or desktop to charge it. Also, the reflective coating on the screen tends to distort the colors when outdoors or in bright lights. Aside from that, This is a solid player in my opinion.
