Creative Zen Vision:M or Archos AV500 ?

I'm looking for a mp3 player / movie player / photo capture device , and since I have a creative zen micro already was leaning towards the Vision : M but just wondered if anyone has had any experience of there and could help - I've heard the vision:M screen can scratch easily and it seems smaller in size but then again the AV500 may not be user friendly

any advice would be very much appreciated

Perhaps not much help, but the Gadget Show recently reviewed these:

Mustek DTV-407

iRiver U10

Archos AV500

The Archos AV500 came out tops. I've had my Archos AV340 for a couple of years or so and it's great - very good video quality and I believe the 500 has a bigger screen.

Thanks for the info , I think I'll go for the AV500 . Cheers

The AV500 is probably one of the best media players/recorders around at the minute. Ok, not the smallest, but for features and quality it is great.

If you don't require the record feature there is also the gmini500 which lacks this feature and is cheaper. A drop in hard drive size is also factored in.
