the only problem i have with the buttons is that the power button and print/share button don 't have a nice click .

negative

the buttons are rather stiff .

negative

i thought this camera was awful and i did tons of research on cnet and other sites .

negative

there were many times when i clicked the automatic shutter and nothing happens .

negative

the controls are hard to manipulate , especially in the dark .

negative

the only thing i don 't like is the small size ( 8 meg ) memory card that comes with it .

negative

i have to move pictures off of it every day so i have room for more pictures the next , and i don 't have enough money to buy the 256 meg card that i 've had my eye on for a while .

negative

a larger memory card and extra battery are good things to buy .

negative

first off , the battery .

negative

this camera uses a lithium battery , i find lithium batteries to be highly inconvenient ; . because what if you are on vacation , where the nearest place to buy batteries is just a gas station -- there is no way that you are going to find lithium batteries there .

negative

not only is it inconvenient , but also the battery life span is short .

negative

such a small zoom length that you would think that the zoom would be silent since it hardly zooms in . . . wrong ! .

negative

the zoom function on this camera is so loud that sometimes you will be unable to use it if you find yourself in a situation where you must be quiet .

negative

even just turning the camera on will move the lens a little , resulting in a noisy start-up .

negative

the last problem i found with this camera was the macro function .

negative

the auto-focus on the camera seems to have trouble focusing on the subject .

negative

to make matters work , there is no manual override to overcome this problem .

negative

it 's not my first choice in cameras ,

negative

1 ) it is perhaps too small .

negative

its size makes holding it steady for long a bit of a challenge ( not enough camera body to grip with more than your finger tips ) .

negative

this is due to the unusually slow autofocus system .

negative

3 ) the lack of an intermediate resolution setting , as other reviewers have suggested , is a problem , but that problem is meaningless with a larger compactflash memory card

negative

4 ) the camera gets really hot when you are busy snapping away .

negative

i left the camera in my car in maine ( not a very hot place ) and the lcd screen cracked ! .

negative

i then realized a major design flaw .

negative

the viewfinder does not accurately represent the picture being taken .

negative

the digital zoom is crap .

negative

the pictures are a little dark sometimes .

negative

the movie mode can only record a max of 30 seconds at 160x120 per clip and a max of 4 seconds at 640x480 .

negative

the price is $ . . . more .

negative

the new drivers on cannon 's site do not help at all but try them if you want they have made me have to use the backup software .

negative

the adobe software also was wonderful in 98 but it will not let you print correctly with xp so you are forced to create your document then either print it from windows or export it to another application .

negative

the only thing i don 't like about it is that you have to buy a larger memory card , first thing ! .

negative

i 've often struggled to get something to work the way i want it , and hate to have to carry the manual with me all the time ! .

negative

all that said , i am a little disappointed with the quality of the pictures from the camera .

negative

when taking pictures of people , however , it shows every flaw in the subject 's skin .

negative

other cameras taking pics of the same subjects turn out looking much better .

negative

for example , in auto mode you can 't use the flash redeye reduction , you must be in manual mode for that .

negative

the auto color balance is often fooled by dense clouds .

negative

8- buttons are little , but if you have steady fingers and deal ed with a casio worst calculator watch , you can deal with almost anything .

negative

buttons size is ok for me , my wife , but not my granny .

negative

i hope it 's because it 's new and they are not out yet , but being without a remote is hard .

negative

it could be a little bit bigger , but it 's easy to get used to .

negative

the screen may be a little smaller , but it is very readable and does n 't come in the overused blue .

negative

it does n 't have firewire , not a real complaint since most windows users do n 't generally have firewire cards themselves .

negative

the only complaint i have is that when you push in the scroll wheel to select , you have to push straight in or it sticks .

negative

the only downside i see is that it does n 't look like you can manage playlists from the nomad , it has to be done from the computer .

negative

the player itself has all sorts of problems .

negative

the face-plate , which pops out for the battery , pops open by itself every 10 minutes or so .

negative

the player hangs up on file transfer every once-in-a-while , prompting a reset .

negative

the scroll button is overly sensitive at times ; . not sensitive enough at others .

negative

depressing the scroll button ( for selecting ) is not always responsive .

negative

the scroll bar problems make the task of creating playlists more frustrating .

negative

overall , a very disappointing product .

negative

the setup process for the nomad is infuriating , and the interface with the player is sub-par .

negative

the player 's mechanics are also flawed .

negative

although the sound-quality is good , it takes more than good sound on a portable-mp 3 player to result in a good product .

negative

one beef is the scroll , it does n 't work as well as i 'd like .

negative

deficiencies with zennx are easily overcome with 3rd-party earphones ( $ 20 + ) and software ( $ 25 ) .

negative

getting the program to install properly has been a living hell experience .

negative

transfering - i could not get my songs to completely transfer via usb 1 . 1 or 2 . 0 .

negative

it would only transfer 30 or so songs , and then come up with an error .

negative

scroll button - the scroll wheel was a nice idea to keep less clutter , but the button would sometimes get stuck or keep scrolling .

negative

size - bigger than the ipod

negative

all i have to say is that i did freeze on me once , but it has n 't done it since .

negative

first , the cons . . . a tad bulky . . . not the most aesthetic looking player . . . and does n 't support a folder structure .

negative

and man . . . i had to work to put my chinese songs on the player . . . because i had the actual chinese names of the songs as the title . .

negative

the only thing i 'm concerned about is the quality / longevity of the buttons on the thing .

negative

my `` fast forward `` button works , but it takes a little extra pressure on it to make it go .

negative

unlike my 3 other mp3 players , this thing will only work properly if you have id3 tags on all of your tracks .

negative

if you do n 't have tags , it 'll lump all of your tracks into the same directory and they can not be searched via artist or album as the zen does not recognize folders .

negative

i did have to put a little work into renaming some duplicate file names to get all my music on my zen xtra but it was n 't a big problem .

negative

the explorer program did shut down a couple times while i was renaming titles and changing genres but i did n 't have to reboot the computer or anything , just open up explorer again .

negative

the unit itself did lock up a few times and i had to hit the reset button but that was a fairly painless process as well .

negative

the little jog dial seems weak and quirky and i hope i do n 't figure out a way to break it .

negative

i have windows xp pro and when installing the enclosed software i did receive a message that there was a problem installing the driver .

negative

- the controls are much inferior to the simple ipod ones .

negative

the locations of various buttons on one side or the other is somewhat illogical

negative

- included creative software is pretty poor .

negative

it would either not play the song at all , or skip wildly , no matter that the unit was resting on my desk .

negative

had there been strange noises , or obvious defects , i would have accepted a replacement , but this is clearly from a defective and inferior operating system and i for one do not intend on waiting for patches .

negative

this product is too fragile for normal use .

negative

however , the creative software is not real intuitive .

negative

if you want to rename a cd title that you have already transferred , you will become frustrated quite quickly .

negative

this is ridiculous .

negative

the scroll wheel , to be blunt , sucks .

negative

seems it is always difficult to press to make a selection .

negative

the interface used could be better designed .

negative

it is a little cumbersome to scroll through so many levels to get to the selection you want .

negative

and the case , how did this ever make it out of quality control .

negative

it is some protection for the unit , but for use ability , forget it .

negative

the cut-outs for the controls is not thought out as there is too much material in the way to adequately access the controls , especially the scroll wheel .

negative

however the main reason i am not satisfied with this product is the fact that it will lock up at odd times .

negative

i know this unit will have problems in the future and the $ 40 for the 2 year `` no questions asked `` replacement warranty will be worth it , since creative will only warrant it for 90 days - which in itself is totally ridiculous ! .

negative

1 . the size is a little bit bigger than the ipod , and it weighs a little bit more .

negative

2 . the scroll button is n 't the best , as it sometimes can be hard to select .

negative

i gave it only 3 stars due to the fact that the 1st one broke when i dropped it from a fairly short distance ( less than 2 ft ) .

negative

1 ) fragile ( i broke the 1st one within 10 days )

negative

3 ) the case hides the display - you have to open it to see what you are doing .

negative

but for now it appears that this player does n 't play well with itunes .
