The Creative Zen V models is Creative Labs equivilent of the iPod Nano. There are two version of the Creative Zen V, the Zen V and the Zen plus which has added features such as FM radio.
Like Creative's other MP3 players, the Zen V Plus offers impressive audion quality. PC world in their latest test on the difference between MP3 on the market found that the Creative Zen V and the Creative Zen V Plus were rank only one under the iPod Nano and in tests the Creative Zen V Plus’ sound quality was said to be outstanding even with a variety of high-bit-rate MP3 files
The Creative Zen models are a lot thicker than the Nano but because its is bit shorter it weigh roughly the same. The controls consist of a tiny joystick and a few button dotted around it, which I found to be most responsive, it allowed you to seect the music or the photo you wish to view with ease. Unlike the Ipod Nano you don’t have to make play lists on the computer you can make them on the go, plus you can mess around with the background and all the colour schemes which is another the Nano doesn’t do.
The Zen V and Zen V Plus come in 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB capacities. Both the Zen V and the Zen V Plus work with Plays For Sure subscription content and handle the standard complement of MP3, WMA, and Audible files.For the Creative Zen V Plus you get a FM turner, the ability to view videos and in both the Creative Zen V and the Creative Zen V Plus there is a line-in jack, a voice recorder and a 1.5 inch OLED screen that give you greet visibilty, but when you use it outside the clarity is less because of the reflectiveness of the screen. The Zen V Plus can view video as I have already stated but the viewing quality is poor with its 128 pixel by 128 pixel screen and although it can convert most videos for you to watch it was piontless to put any clips on it of more than a few minutes Over all though the sound quality was more than impressive and a lot cheaper than its iPod Nano ecquivlent and so is a good choice if you are looking to get yourself a new MP3 player
