Nice gift
By Ray from San Diego, CA on 12/28/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Image, Easy To Use
Cons:
Lame User's Guide, Specifications lacking
Best Uses:
Desk
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal

Good buy if you want the frame with little control over its display. A photo editor to set up the photos on storage media very helpful. No real control of pictures to be displayed; User's Guide offers no help as to how to browse photos; no indication of frame memory size in specifications.

 
Good and Then It Quit
By techbobVerified Reviewer from AL on 12/28/2007
Pros:
Clear Image, Easy To Use, For the money it was good
Cons:
Flimsy Construction, Quit after less than 1 yr
Describe Yourself:
Quality Oriented
Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I tested all the other frames of similar size and price range. This was among only a few that would show all forms of digital photos; direct from a camera, edited ones, scanned photos, camera phone photos. Many others would not. it would also show all photos no matter what orientation they were and no matter what aspect ratio. No special editing required like some other frames. And the picture quality was OK for the money.

Now, the Bad Part. It suddenly quit after less than a year and the store return policy is for 3 months. Seems like a defective product to me.

 
Not as pleased as I expected to be
By MOK12Verified Reviewer from Sioux Falls, SD on 12/27/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Image, Easy To Use, Quality Construction
Cons:
Wasted Screen Space

Desk, Digital Photos

Primary use:

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Pictures do not fill up the screen unless they are re-formatted to 16:9 leaving a much smaller viewable picture.
Other frames of similar cost will automatically reformat.
Other frames of similar cost offer more features.

 
Don't waste your time or money...

Cons:
Blurry Image, Breaks after first use, Flimsy Construction
Describe Yourself:

Primary use:
Personal
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So it's Christmas Eve and I go to load up the frame with images for a gift in the morning when I notice my hi-res pictures look awful on the frame. After trying to resize the images on my computer to be the right aspect ratio so that they look better, I turn on the frame to find half of the LCD back with with lines through it and there is nothing I can do to fix it! Don't waste our money folks this frame ain't wourth it.

ASPECT RATIO 4:3 not 16:9
By Be Aware from OHIO on 12/10/2007
Pros:
Attractive Design, Clear Image, Easy To Use, Quality Construction
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Means black bars are on sides (not full screen) There is no mention of this. If you can shoot in panaramic mode it's suppose to be full screen. My camera does not have that feature. Picture, Design and ease of use great!! Can hold 14 pics w/ out purchase of extra memory.

Bought 4 for gifts and everyone loves it
By Twin MommyVerified Reviewer from Lincoln NE on 7/27/2007
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought four of these for father's day and everyone loves them. I purchased another brand at a different store & it was much harder to use and ended up returning it. [...] Very fun to keep on the desk at work.

Does not live up to claim of reading 2GB
By Al from NC on 7/22/2007

Does not live up to claim of reading 2 GB memory card. Would not even read all photos on a 1 GB card. Otherwise the display was clear and no other problems.

By Delia J from Houston, Texas on 5/17/2007

I got one for Mothers Day and love it. I have not had any problems and it's easy to use - for us technology challenged "older" persons.

Bought 1 and returned it ...
By Karlene D from Philadelphia, PA on 5/6/2007

Bought 1 and returned it because the screen turned blue and did not show pictures..the next one didn't even work for 5 minutes and the screen had lines across it and it turned blue as well! Wanted to give it as a graduation gift for my fiance and put pictures on it already but couldn't even get to wrapping it! I will spend more money on one that will hopefully work!

Very slow with Sony ...
By Jackie B from New York on 3/27/2007

Very slow with Sony memory stick cards (5MP). SD works good, but quality is not flawless. Screen is very wide. Could be good for panoramic cameras, but it leaves bars on most of my pictures.

I have looked at several ...
By Scott S from northern Michigan on 3/26/2007

I have looked at several digital picture frames. This one is pretty good and very good for the money. Pros: Flat black frame fits in just about anywhere. Easy to operate, pictures in slideshow mode can display for upto 30 seconds and you don't have the tacky "transitions" between pics. Resolution was better than I thought it would be. Believe me I have seen worse. Cons: 16x9 format is kind of odd for photos, but I crop them down and have quickly adjusted. Black frame is ok, but I've seen nicer. Conclusion: If you don't want to pop for the Kodak or Phillips expensive models, this is a good value.

At only 480x234 ...
By Alex R from Frisco, Texas on 2/17/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Reliable

At only 480x234 resolution I felt the quality was poor. The pictures seemed distorted and not anywhere near the clarity advertised on the box.

My wife was nagging me ...
By Doug A from Richmond VA on 1/24/2007
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good Value, Reliable

My wife was nagging me about putting pictures from our wedding in my office. Rather than have a few frames scattered haphazzardly or a clunky book, I decided to upload our pictures to a SD media card and get a digital frame. This one is excellent. Only complaint is that if you are not looking dead on at the frame, the picture can be grainy from side views. However, people constant stop in my office and watch the pictures flow by. We were able to our wedding, the reception and our honeymoon on a 2GB card. If you sat through the whole thing it would take over an hour to watch. Great conversation piece. Why wedding photographers don't offer this as a product is a mystery to me.

By Vanessa J from Queens, NY on 10/14/2006
Pros:
Easy to use, Good performance, Good Value, Reliable

I bought one of these and a Panasonic camera at a Radioshack store for my fiance's mom. It totally got me in good with her because she absolutely loves it! Its so easy to use which is perfect because she's not tech savvy. The little chocolate smear on our baby's face was so clear & cute. I went out and got three more, one for me and two for X-mas presents!
