Creative Zen MicroPhoto

Player Type: Hard Disk MP3 Player, Radio: Yes, Recording, Voice: Yes, Recording, Line In: No, Weight: 3.8 oz, Audio...

Nice color OLED screen. Very good sound quality. Good overall feature set. Removable battery.

Interface lags sometimes. Touch controls can be annoying.

The Creative Zen MicroPhoto is a good choice among small hard drive-based players for its removable battery, broad feature set, and very good sound quality.

Unfortunately, the Creative Zen Micro Photo doesn't let you listen to music and browse photos simultaneously, and album art is not supported at this time. The touch pad on this device can take some getting used to.

What's a Zen Micro Photo? The Zen Micro Photo is the newest MP3 player from Creative Technologies, an evolution of the Zen Micro player that came out earlier this year. The Zen Micro Photo is about the size of an iPod Mini, and features an 8gb MicroDrive,

The Zen Micro Photo is an improvement over the regular Zen Micro, although not as much as I would have liked. Despite its name, the ZMP isn't all that good for viewing photos. The screen quality and GUI are underwhelming, especially compared to its...
