 Great for Parents! November 30, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
My husband and I bought this digital frame as a gift for my parents, and they love it! They were so excited about the number of photos that can be loaded and have been showing it off to friends and family who visit. For people who aren't tech savvy, they will need help loading photos onto the memory card that comes out of the box. Otherwise, it's pretty easy to connect the card to your computer via a USB or card reader drive. If you have a lot of high resolution photos (i.e., 3-4 MB each), I would recommend eiter reducing the resolution or buying a larger memory card than the one that comes with the frame out of the box so you can get more images loaded. The images display beautifully, and the rotation from one image to the next is timed well. The frame itself looks polished and pretty and can easily fit most decors. Great product! We would definitely buy it again!
Hands Down, Best Digital Photo Frame EVER!! November 29, 2008
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
To give some background before my review, I must have tried at least a dozen different photo frames in search of the perfect one, but I was never happy with any of them. I would buy one and play around with it, and I would always find something I didn't like and return it. But I fell in love with this one immediately, because it has literally every feature you could ever want.
First of all, it has touch screen controls which is nice because you don't need to fiddle around pressing buttons on the back of the frame which you can't see (like most frames make you do). It also has a handy remote control.
The screen is incredibly high resolution for its size (1024x768), and best of all it's a 4:3 format and not a 16:9 widescreen like so many other frames are! I never understood why they make widescreen digital photo frames, because ALL cameras take pictures in a staandard 4:3 format! So when your photos are displayed on a 16:9 widescreen, it either stretches the photo (which makes everyone look fat) or it chops off 25% of the picture at the top & bottom to make it fit. This frame displays photos perfectly without chopping or cropping or stretching. And the screen is a perfect size - not too big, and not too small.
As for functionality, it plays pictures (obviously), music, and even videos! You have the option of either inserting a media card (SD Card, MMC, USB Flash Drive, etc), or you can connect it directly to your PC via USB and transfer pictures into the internal memory. It has 512MB internal memory, which equald about 2,000 pictures. And if that's not enough, then you can insert an SD Card for more storage space.
When you play a slideshow you have a lot of different options. You can change the speed, the transition style, and shuffle on/off. You also have the option of playing music in the backround. And setting it up to play music is as easy as can be - all you need to do is put some MP3 files into the folder with your pictures, and it will automatically play the music files when you start the slide show (if you have the sound turned on). I have it set up with Christmas songs right now, and it adds a nice mood to the room!
It also plays videos perfectly without skipping or hesitation, even when they are big files. I played a 50MB movie clip that I shot with my digital camera, and it played flawlessly. Most other frames I have tried will skip or freeze up with you try to play a large file.
And the speakers on this thing are amazing! I only need to turn the level up to about 5-6 (out of 16) to fill the entire room with sound. If I crank it all the way up to 16 I can hear it throughout the entire house, and the speakers never get distorted at all.
And to top it all off, it also has Wi-Fi capability! (USB Wi-Fi adapter required, not included) You can connect it to your home wireless network, and the frame will sync up with an online Google Picasa account (which is free to set up, if you don't have one). I haven't used that feature yet, but I plan on setting it up. This makes it easy to let friends and family add pictures to your slideshow from anywhere in the world - you just set up a free Picasa account and give them the username & password, and then they can log into the account and add photos at any time. It's essentially the same principle as the "Cevia" service (which costs $99/year), but this is absolutely FREE!
Sorry for the lengthy review, but if you can't tell I am simply blown away by this picture frame. PanDigital hit a towering grand slam with this one. Don't even waste your time trying any other frames - this one has it all.
 Too Bad It Doesn't Work November 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The first frame that was delivered was dead on arrival (always shutdown with 20 seconds of being powered up). That frame was returned. The second frame that was delivered stopped the picture show periodically with the error message that it could find no photo files. Rebooting the screen was required to restart the show (or find any pictures). This failure occurred both with SD cards (multiple cards tried) and the internal memory. I did like the display when it worked. I gave up after two failures and went with another manufacturer.

Here's what I wanted: a digital frame that displayed really nice, high resolution pictures with a frame (border) that would work with my home decor. And that's what this delivers. I can't speak for the sound or video.
Pros:
+ Picture quality is GREAT!
+ Frame is nice
+ Easy to get pictures onto the internal memory
+ Remote
+ Auto shut off is handy
Cons:
- Clock is stuck on all of the pictures and won't shut off - but it's small and relatively unobtrusive
- The touch screen/menus don't work too well, but works perfectly with the remote ... just don't lose the remote!
I bought one for myself and will be buying them as gifts.
Nice but defective November 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a very nice looking product with two frames included. Nice features which was what I was looking for. Easy to follow instructions and power on/off on remote allows for wall mounting without problems. Unfortunately it arrive not functioning correctly. Returned when tech support determined it was defective. Looks like a 4-6 week delay to receive a new one, which is very unacceptable for a brand new product. Buyer beware of this product.
