"Flawless so far"
Pros: Bright screen, reliable,small size, easy to use
Cons: SanDisk converter software is outdated and the photos after going through the conversion process don't fill the entire screen also the scroll wheel semi-blocks some of the function buttons
Summary: The SanDisk Sansa e280R or e280 8G are the same player minus the preloaded Rhapsody software on the e280R hence the letter R. Even my grandma can figure out how to preload the Rhapsody firmware so there is no need to select the e280R over the e280. O.K. I love this player. Great battery life, very reliable, it works flawlessly with Rhapsody. The screen, even in bright daylight is readable. I can't say the same for my ZenMicro Photo 8GB player. I bought SanDisk Sansa for my wife and I have MP3 plaer envy as I wish this player was available when I bought my Zen MicroPhoto. Yes the scroll wheel could be improved but it is so much easier and more accurate to use then the slide scroll on my Zen MicroPhoto. You can go crazy trying not to pass a selection on the Zen but on the SanDisk Sansa you hit your selection dead-on all the times. Please note I really did not buy this player to watch video clips or even to listen to the radio. With Rhapsody To Go, in my mind, there is zero reason to listen to the radio. I will update CNET on the PHOTO feature after I get my new software update.
