Here is a REVIEW:

The good: The SanDisk Sansa e200 series combines copious features such as subscription compatibility, an FM tuner/recorder, voice recording, and photo and video playback into a compact and durable device. We like the tactile navigation wheel, as well as the well-designed software interface. The user-removable battery and the Micro SD slot are nice touches, and the device has decent sound quality, processor performance, and battery life. Finally, the Sansa e200 series has a maximum base capacity of 8GB, and it offers a competitive price in the high-stakes world of high-capacity flash players.

The bad: No AC adapter in package; the buttons surrounding the SanDisk Sansa e200's scrollwheel can be difficult to press; the mechanical scrollwheel can tire out some thumbs; photos and video must go through conversion with bundled software; the expansion slot can be used with music only, not photos or other media or data; and recordings are made only in WAV. The scrollwheel is not as easy to use as the iPod Click Wheel. Low levels of system noise can heard through headphones at low or zero volume.

The bottom line: The SanDisk Sansa e200 series offers a boatload of features for a reasonable price, in a package that is much nicer than that of past SanDisk models. For those looking for a high-capacity, compact, skip-free MP3/WMA player, start with the e200 series.

Memory goliath SanDisk continues its assault on the flash-based MP3 player market with the CES launch of the flagship Sansa e200 series, along with the budget-class Sansa c100 series. The SanDisk Sansa e200 series represents a departure from previous Sansa players, thanks to a higher-quality form factor and a bushel of cutting-edge features such as photo and video support, music-subscription compatibility, a user-removable battery, a MicroSD expansion slot, and a tactile Click Wheel-type controller system.

The e200 comes in 6GB ($220), 4GB ($180) and 2GB ($140) varieties, as well as the new 8GB version ($250), the last of which is known currently as the highest-capacity flash-based player in the world. Prices have shifted downward, as well, with all previous models reduced $40 to $50. While the e200 still doesn't match the iPod Nano in design flair and simplicity, it is definitely a premium choice when it comes to a compact flash-based MP3 player, with more features and a better price point than its main competitor. Currently, the 4GB iPod Nano costs as much as the 8GB Sansa e280. The e200 does have a few negative points, but its primary hurdle will be convincing consumers that the 8GB version, just $50 less than bulkier 30GB players like the iPod and Zen Vision:M, is still a good value.

Design of SanDisk Sansa e250 (2GB)
The sturdy and sharp-looking SanDisk Sansa e200 measures 3.5 by 1.7 by 0.5 inches, weighs 2.6 ounces, and has a maximum capacity of 8GB (about 2,000 songs), currently the highest capacity for a flash player. Stick a 2GB Micro SD card (about $100) in the expansion slot and you have a maximum of 10GB. All four capacities look and feel the same. Although it's almost twice as thick and heavy as a Nano, the e200 is still compact and it boasts a liquid-metal backside that will not scratch; likewise, the black plastic on the front does not scratch nearly as easily as the Nano's. In terms of raw size and sleekness, the Nano still reigns supreme.

Answer 2

I own the SanDisk Sansa e270 with 6GB. It can't hold movies longer than 12 minutes, but it can hold music videos and home made videos in mpeg format. The quality is really good, but it mostly depends on the movie quality. From the music videos I have watched on it, the quality is crystal clear, and the sound quality is perfect. I just have to say, you are choosing a good music player! But don't worry, it has an expandable memory slot that takes micro SD cards. But the micro SD cards can only hold music, so put all the videos and photos on the player itself, then put all your music on the micro SD card.

Answer 3

The sansa uses the MJPEG video format, which is pretty innefficient ar far as compression goes. That said I, converted a 45 minute video and it takes up just under a half a GB on my sansa.

Answer 4

It would hold over 32 hr of music, and assuming that each song is about 3 min (give or Take) that would be about and I am guessing that would be 650 ish ..(I'm trying to do the math in the head, but not sure) I would do the to make sure. Good luck and happy listening

Answer 5

it can hold 500 songs so if you make a a video or qwhatever it takes up too much space dont try this at home. you cant make a video! sorryu

Answer 6

3 minutes of mp4 video is 100mb

get a player with expandable (SDcard slot) memory

Answer 7

Buy an iPod. You will regret it if you don't.

Answer 8

Answer 9

the packaging should tell you
