 Excellent December 4, 2008
It works great. I keep in on my desk and have about 200 photos on my memory card. That is the only thing I did not like, I had to buy a new memory card but for the price I could not expect them to give me one with the frame.

 Sleek Frame, Good Picture Quality December 3, 2008

This is the first digital photo frame that I've used, and I do think it's very good quality for the price, and a nifty gadget to have around. With digital cameras, most photos never see the light of day, and this frame is an easy way to show them off. The pros of this frame:
- I thought the screen quality was very good to excellent - bright, clear, vibrant colors.
- Easy to use, simple instructions, can pretty much plug-in and go if your photos are the right dimensions
- I received the clear & black frame, and it looks very nice and stylish on our shelf (many digital frames tend to look cheap and plastic)
- Accepts many different types of memory cards, and you'll be hard pressed to find one that will not look with this frame
Now for the cons, and keep in mind that these are not necessarily cons for this particular frame, but my observations about digital frames in general. The whole concept of digital frames seems to be more cumbersome than convenient, and that may be because this technology is not yet where it should be.
- The frame can be displayed vertically or horizontally; you'd have to group your photos into 1 of 2 categories to be displayed correctly.
- This particular frame has no input for a flash drive (and I'm not sure whether other frames do either), so if you want to keep your memory card in your camera, you'd have to buy another one to use with the frame.
- You can store photos in the frame's internal memory, but with only 16MB, that means about 8-9 photos, unless you reformat
- Pretty much all photos will have to be altered on the computer before they can correctly display on the frame. I tried my photos as they were, and all were cut off either on the sides, or the top and bottom.
- The frame displays the time in the bottom right corner (which I did not like in the first place). If you unplug the frame, you'll have to set the time again when you turn it back on.
If you are tech savy, great frame. Not for those who are not willing to fiddle a little December 2, 2008

PROS:
The images on this are clear and crisp with a good viewing angle.
You can drag and drop photos onto a card by plugging into your computer.
Good price for the quality.
Automatic transitions added.
Nice looking frame, clear outside would match any decor.
CONS:
Internal memory is tiny, you need a card to hold photos.
Menu hard to navigate.
No speakers for music.
Does not "turn" all the photos to the right orientation, although you can so this yourself in windows before dragging them to the frame.
Manual pretty much useless for figuring how to do things like change brightness, adjust timer etc.
Forgets what time it is if you unplug it.
Hints:
Took me forever to figure out how to get to the adjustment menu. All navigating is done with the buttons on top. You need to push the "down" button to get the gear like icon to select. Then you push the "check mark" button to go to the adjusting menu.
This is not a frame for your grandma (unless she is tech savy or you are going to do all the loading of photos and adjusting). It would be great for the office where it is going to stay plugged in (so it does not forget settings) and can be hooked up to the computer to download new photos.
Stylish display for your pictures! December 2, 2008

This is the third digital photo frame that I've acquired, and so far it's the best of the lot. I've even played around and put all three side by side just to compare them. It was a slow day, okay?
Anyway, let's get the issue of cost out of the way first. Digital photo frames are not nearly as inexpensive as we would like to see. But do a little value analysis and you might discover that while it's pocket change, you're still doing fine with the Item being reviewed the Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Photo Frame. The beauty of the digital frame is that you can have vivid displays of as many photos as you can fit onto a memory card (I usually have at least 50 mid-sized jpgs on one like this); rotating from pic to pic in a nice tidy space. The alternative might be to paper your wall with 50 printed and framed photographs, a hassle in time, wall space and money. All of a sudden the digital option starts to look a little better, so then it comes down to comparing different brands.
Some people complain about the image quality, however I've found that any digital frame is dependent on the quality of the jpg file. The bigger the file (more pixels to work with), the better the image will work on the display. That then raises the question of how many pictures can you have? Well duh... if you're going to use the internal memory, you're picture inventory is going to be limited. Use a 2 gig memory card and you can cycle through a LOT of pictures. And remember what I mentioned before, in a side by side comparison with my other two digi-frames, the Philips was the best (using the same files).
The setup directions were fine for me, I didn't have any problems whatsoever. And one of the features that I like best is the SmartPower option to have it turn off after a prescribed amount of time.
Some of the other features like photo manipulation on the unit and a sound feature just don't appeal to me. I'll do all my image adjusting and cropping on the computer, and I'm not turned off by the black bars that my cropping might create. And as for music with my pictures? Forget about it! There's two much sound competition in my house already, why add to it?
Bottom line, I like this unit. I'd love to see it offered for sale under $60, but then again, I'd like to have a 100mpg car too.
 Horrible. If only I had read the reviews... November 27, 2008

Horrible. If only I had read the reviews...I would never have purchased this item.
Let me start by saying I work in technology, so I know what quality and simplicity should look like. I was hoping for a fair quality, simple to use picture frame to give to a moderately computer savvy relative for Xmas.
Reasons not to buy this:
-Display quality is poor:
Mine came with several pixels dead, right out of the box.
-Navigation is awful:
The buttons are on the back, and you have to look at the front to see the menus as they change. You end up feeling around back there...its not good.
-On Board Memory is useless:
It contains sample photos that cannot be deleted (the infamous baby from other reviews) and which continually display along with your photos in the slideshow.
-Widescreen Display is awful:
If you are scanning old 4:3 aspect ratio family pictures into this 16:9 ratio frame, you get two choices: diplay them with black bars to the sides or stretch and distort them. Neither is terribly attractive.
After two hours of scan then crop of the family photos, I put this thing back in the box, and bought one of the kodak easyshare frames.
In summary, I would not recommend this device to anyone who is not an expert at manipulating photos, and even then be ready for the time commitment.
Update: The kodak easy share frame is working out great! Highly recommended as an alternative.
