I have had my Zen Vision W for a almost 8 months now and I love it.
Pros:
1.The Screen is beautiful.
2.The interface is logical and makes sense. (My previous mp3 player was a Zen V Plus and they were almost exactly the same.)
3.CF card reader is cool, but I never have had a change to use it with a camera because most Digital cameras now use SD cards.
4.Removable/replaceable battery. One of the biggest advantages of a device with a removable battery is that when the Battery goes bad you can replace the battery rather than buying a new mp3 player. (ALL batteries eventually go bad, that includes rechargeable ones) Also, you can buy another battery and then be able to use your player for twice as long as you would be able to with only one battery.
5.A few weeks ago I ran my Zen for about 12 hours without recharging, but I almost never used the screen during that period.
6.It comes with a cable to connect Audio and Video to a TV, very nice feature.
7.Comes with a wall charger, unlike most mp3 players (that includes ipods).
8.For all you "green" people out there, the packing it comes in is the most efficient packaging I have ever seen.
Cons:
1.Its big. If I didn't where Cargo shorts it would be a problem for caring, but its worth it for the screen size and replaceable battery.
2.No one knows what it is, so I am constantly explaining what it is to people.
 Beautiful MP3/Video Player July 14, 2008

I've owned the Zen Vision: W for quite some time now, and it's a great alternative to the iPod. The widescreen display is beautiful! Perfect for watching movies on the go. The quality and different resolutions you can set make most movies look great.
The software that comes with the Zen is relatively easy to use. It's similar the Apple's drag-and-drop mentality, and you get the hang of it pretty quick.
I felt the buttons were a little small (and I have small hands), but they stood out from each other well enough to use it without a problem. Keeping the buttons small and off the to side allows for the big screen, and it's a sacrifice I'm glad I made.
The only reason I didn't give this a 5-star rating was the sheer size of the thing. It's big, heavy, and definitely noticeable in your pocket. The Zen isn't the most portable device, but that screen is just so pristine, I don't really mind the trade-off.

I've had my vision W for about a year and a half, and it's fantastic. it still looks and works as if it were new. this is probably the best (if a bit chunky) mp3 you can buy, if you want everything plus a 14 hour battery life.
My only complaints are that the earphones only lasted a year, and that it is a nuisance trying to get album art if you don't use windows media player, which adds it automatically. otherwise it held up fine. I have around two thousand songs on it, and thousands of pictures, and I've only used about 10GB. Originally I had a card for videos, but I don't think I'll need it, because there's so much space on it.
If you like watching movies, and fly on long international flights, get this. Don't even consider a smaller screen. I've been there.
It's easy to use, lasts a long time, and has a big screen. buy it.

I going to keep this simple. I purchased this for my husband last Christmas. He affectionately calls it The Beast. He loves it. The screen is HUGE, the menus are easy to navigate and it holds tons of stuff. The sound quality isn't the best but it's better than many other players on the market. It goes everywhere he does. Mans, new best friend, the Zen W!
