Which MP3 player, by the looks of them, looks better?

Now, after you've looked at them, give me your opinion on the price, the features, the size of space, and if you know any information that should help me decide which one to take.

(All prices are canadian)

Right now I'm hesitating because the second one (sandisk) looks a lot better, but it has less features and space than the first one. However, I've never heard of Camnex before.

edit: Sandisk, not scandisk (Chris <3) and they both have video.

edit2: Now that I look at it, it seems they both have equivalent features (except camnex FM tuner is normal and Sandisk is Digital...is there a difference?)

The SanDisk looks better then the Camnex.

1 - Camnex - 3.49/5 - The reviews don't look good "Unsatisfying ... Terribly Designed, etc."
2 - SanDisk - 4.52/5 - Good reviews "Excellent Value ... BUY IT ... Fantastic, etc."

I'd go with the SanDisk one, despite the less features, it has better reviews and looks nice .

SanDisk looks better
but it's better 20gb than 2gb

Sandisk, of course.

Lots of reasons, including looks and quality.
I got my girlfriend one for her birthday, she loves it.

sandisk ftw

the only reason i didnt get the sandisk before was cuz the max space u cud get was 6 gigs (because its flash mem, which is also more expensive than hds). if they had an hd in there with atleast 20 gigs it wud be one of the best players i've ever seen

Definately the sandisk... Don't need ma spectacles to see that.

Sandisk looks way better

Definately don't buy one based on looks. That is just stupid. That is why the Ipod is so popular.

Look at battery life, disc storage, features, price, accessories etc. Then and only then you can make an informed decision.

Yep Sandisk looks a lot better then the other one.

san disk looks very nice second.

Just by the looks, SanDisc wins hands down.
Make sure you check out the battery life cause most users complain about that later (<3 sony with its 50 hour battery life and 1 min recharge = 1 hour playtime )

sandisk. looks cool with this blue ring

I would go with the Camnex one, it has 10 times as much space. Its not really a fair comparison, its a bit like comparing a Land Rover to a Mini.

Wj's iPod > ScanDisk > Camnex

If you are going for something fashionable, the iPod is more than a music player, it is a fashion accessory, I highly suggest the iPod, the Nano is not too good for storage (if you have alot of music)

Edit: The Sansa looks nice, but the storage is awful. Even more reason for me to bum off the iPod.

The reason I'm picking these two is because:

1. The ipod nano is too small
   
2. The only NEW ipod mini I found was pink
   
3. The ipod video costs to much (these two have video)
   
4. The Batteries in any ipod seem to mess up after a while
   [/list]
   
   Now out of the two, let's compare:
   
   Camnex:
   Battery Life      10 Hours
   Internal Memory      20GB
   Internal Memory Format     Hard Drive*
   Media Compatibility      MP3, WMA, 3GP, MP3 Of VBR Format
   Product Warranty      1 Year
   Product Weight     138 g
   
   SanDisk:
   Battery Life       Up To 20 Hours
   Internal Memory       2GB
   Internal Memory Format     Flash*
   Media Compatibility       MP3, WMA, JPEG, AVI, MPEG4
   1 Year Parts & Labour
   Product Weight      27 g

   Hard drive players are generally larger and can be prone to skipping with extreme jostling. They also have a much larger capacity and hold a lot more music. Flash drives are smaller and more compact and are totally skip-free as there are no moving parts. They hold less muisc, but play skip-free, even through the most strenuous activity.

   So we have to take in consideration, Battery life, internal memory, Internal memory format (really important, I don't want skipping), media compatibility (somewhat important), the warranty is equal, and the product wait. There is a HUGE difference.
   
   As well, the simplicity of the buttons seems better on the SanDisk (more buttons, but it makes a lot more sense what does what). I'm thinking probably the SanDisk...

Ok, So sticking with SanDisk vs. Camnex (never heard of them btw)

Micro-hd based players are much more prone to failure and problems. That note about skipping is a load of crap just FYI.

The SanDisk has had great reviews and people seem to love it. It's perfect for MUSIC. Do you honestly want to watch videos on a tiny 1.8" screen? I watch videos on my iPod with Video Support all the time but honestly the 2.5" screen is on the small side for videos.

Now, The Nano is only thinner then the Sandisk, It's about 40% thiner, the other dimensions are almost identical (off by 0.1 inches). The Battery lasts longer and the SanDisk is going to encounter the same issues as every other electronic device with a built in non-user servicable battery. It will die at some point, iPod's have had more then their fair share of complaints because they are slightly higher priced and they have a much larger user base so there are more people to complain at the slightest problem.

And, the 2gb only comes in Silver, not available in pink (acording to apple).

Now I know I come off sounding like an apple fan boy here, but to be perfectly honest, I'm on my second iPod (sold the first one to upgrade to the video as it makes for great entertainment for my three year old neice) and I've never had a problem with it. If you dont like iTunes you can install iPod linux on it and drag and drop music on there like most other devices.




Now, for those of you spamming the thread with "iPods suck", Do it again and you'll be banned for the day.

San Disk.

iPods suck.

Well they do... But still id go for the sandisk. Looks better.
