 Compatible with a SanDisk SD Memory Card May 6, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Can anyone recommend a basic digital frame that has internal memory that does not need any extra accessories or memory cards and is somewhat easy to use? Because I'm just really incredibly frustrated and fed up with this thing. I gave this to my dad a few months ago for his birthday. Ever since he started using his digital camera he has amassed quite a collection of photos but has no where to put them. He still has not figured out how to use this frame. So the other day I offered to load the photos for him. What a nightmare.
The user's manual is a total joke, it was riddled with misprints and none of it helped me. This thing is driving me crazy.
According to the manual the frame supports these types of memory files:
Compact Flash Cards
Secure Digital Cards
Multimedia Cards
xD Picture Cards
Memory Sticks
And, I have these types of memory:
Fujifilm 16MB memory card xD-Picture Card
Swissbit 64MB usb stick
When I insert each of these pieces of memory the frame says: not supported file.
Why does it say that? Am I putting it in wrong? Or what? Both my xD Card & my Memory Stick cannot be incompatible with this frame, can it?
The "trouble shooting" inside the manual was garbage. It doesn't mention what "not supported file" means or what to do. And it doesn't talk in basic language for everyday customers to understand.
I called their tech support hotline: 800-681-2629 and it was a huge waste of time. The person I spoke to sounded totally stoned it wasn't even a technical support department, it was an order taker that I spoke to. I wasted 2 hours on this plastic piece of garbage.
I finally got it to work with a SanDisk brand SD memory card .
Once the card was inserted, it took about 20 seconds for it to be read then once I entered on the image it took another few seconds to come up (for the first few seconds all I saw was a black screen.) When I set it to the photo gallery mode it was rather slow, I had it on the fastest setting (6 seconds,) but it seemed like it didn't want to move that quick. Anyway, the picture quality is pretty bad and the pictures all look much much darker.
Suffice it to say, I would not recommend this to anyone because it is not user-friendly, the picture quality is abysmal and Coby's tech support is beyond abominable.
NOT A GOOD PRODUCT AT ALL April 21, 2008

I purchased a Coby DP679 Digital Photo Frame for my parents as a Xmas gift and after the 3rd use the screen is now dark - not working. Customer service says that since this unit is out of the 90-day warranty, there is nothing they can do (including a repair at my expense). This will be the first and last item I purchase from Coby!

Pathetic limitations April 19, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The good: it accepts various kinds of memory, and displays photos, and even plays videos and music!
The bad:
* completely pathetic limit of about 512 accessible photo/video files, at least on an SD memory card. The interface won't even list the files after the first 512 or so.
* aspect ratio is unsquare, making all your photos and videos look squished unless you compensate
* after a day or two of continuous use, the image moves to the left leaving blank black pixels. After a week or so it's half black.
* narrow viewing angle on the screen so the colors are wrong unless you are looking at it straight on
* clumsy, slow user interface
* pathetic manual with incomplete and inaccurate info about the native resolution (actually 720 x 468) and supported video encodings
* nonexistent customer support
* no sign of firmware updates... I don't even know how it would be possible to install them-- there are no options in the UI.

 Maybe I expect too much April 9, 2008

I got this photo frame as a gift and it's the only digital frame I've ever used so I really wonder if I just expect more or if this thing is defective. All of the photos I put on it are super contrasty - to the point that I can't use black & white images at all and detail is lost in almost all of the pictures - faces are terribly washed out. Reds are really red and colors in general are just very wonky. Is this just because it's a digital frame and they're all like this or is it just this one? I get the horizontal lines through pictures from time to time that others have mentioned and I agree that it does not make sense that the music and pictures don't work together.
Also, I wish Amazon would change the photo of the product because it is misleading. Even though the description says it's a 16:9 ratio that frame in the picture is clearly not 16:9.
