Customer Reviews

Great Product!!!
We ordered three of these for my husband and two children for our really long plane ride to Europe. We "test drove" the product on a short trip the weekend before, and the girls loved them! They hold a lot of movies, and have an oversize screen as compared to my iPod Nano. The movie quality is very good on the Sansa View - we tend to forget that the device is so small! The music quality is great too. The battery lasts about the length of time it says, although it's a stretch to get a full 6 hours when watching video consistently. And sometimes the sound when watching movies isn't loud enough, so be prepared to have really good headphones. All in all, we are very happy with the Sansa View! It kept my children and my husband entertained during our 10 hour flight!

Great display, straightforward design
I bought my Sansa View 8gb three weeks ago, and it's been working great. I wanted a new mp3 player mainly to watch movies or video clips while I travel. The video quality isn't the best, but it's still very good. Same with the photo quality. The screen is big, bright, and crisp. The sound quality is good as well.

Navigating through the View is quite easy. It only took me about ten minutes to get the hang of it. Although I haven't bought a MicroSD card yet, I love the idea of an expandable library.

Several people have mentioned bugs in the View, but I haven't had a problem. I think Sandisk has worked all of those out.

My only problem with the View is that it came with Rhapsody. It's not the easiest program to work with, although they say adding music is as simple as "drag and drop". For some reason I have all my songs in the Videos folder as well as my Music folder. They play just fine, but I don't know how it happened. It may just be me not understanding the program well enough.


I definitely recommend the Sansa View to anyone looking for an inexpensive video mp3 player.

PROS:
-Inexpensive
-Expandable library with MicroSD card
-Big, bright, crisp screen
-Easy to navigate
-Slim and attractive look

CONS:
-Comes with Rhapsody
-Have to hold the Power switch a little while before it turns off

Frustrating
Any problem listed in previous reviews, I encountered with mine. At which point I discovered one more weakness of this mp3 player.


It does not fare well against a hammer.
