Creative Zen Micro and Zen Sleek Photo?

Both have good sq?
Sleek has longer battery life


is there any differences other the deminsions? and layout?

The 20GB Sleek is about the size of a deck of cards ... the Micro has a micro hard drive (smaller diameter hard drive, so smaller capacity and smaller dimensions) and is about the size of a business card. I believe the Micro at various times has come in 4, 5, 6 and 8GB capacities. Both are said to have pretty good sound quality.

I had the Sleek Photo for one week(upgraded to ZV:M). Imo it has very good build quality and is a beautiful player.It seems like a much better value over the Micro which i didn't even consider.

I had this same choice; I ultimately went for the MicroPhoto, mainly because of its easily replaceable battery.

So the micro and sleek have bad batterys or they are just harder to replace...like cost more?

The battery on any audio player will fail -- eventually. One thing people like about the Micro is that, as with a cell phone, you can slide the back off and install a new battery.

Assuming you can buy it.

Buying the batteries is no problem; Creatives site still stocks batteries for the very first MP3 player they ever released. You can pick up a pack of two batteries at the moment for about £20 IIRC.

See one for the JB3?

isnt the micro zen and the micro photo the same thing? same eq settings same layout but the photo can hold more and display pictures.

I wonder if a micro photo can fit in a altoid tin case.

does it sound alright, like the eq?

post some more!

btw that is the sleep photo ?

 

[GreatDane]

That is the Sleek Photo. I only have 3 more pics because I no longer have it( 2 of the pics show screen shots of pics(semi-nude

)...I better not post those.

I did like the Sleek Photo very much but when i realized that I could upgrade to the Zen Vision:M for $40 more it was just too easy.

I thought the EQ was good and it seems to sound very much like my ZV:M.

thanks for the info

the sleek for 180 bucks (20 gigs) seems like a good deal. I dont get why people spend 150 bucks (cough Nano cough) and for only 1-2 gigs.

I didn't know that the Sleek could be had for $180. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for around $260.
