 Not Quite Ready for Your Show February 8, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Portable digital picture frame esthetically enhances my other framed prints on my credenza. The wood frame plays well with the other pictures I have, maintaining a professional image. However, on closer inspection, you will notice the frame sits at an angle with the bottom right side of the frame not touching the credenza. No, it's not some anti-gravity device hidden in the frame, it's simply that the frame's engineers designed the power plug to be 3.2cm long while the distance from the plug's power receptacle to the bottom of the frame is 3cm. So the frame drunkenly leans left, resting on the plug and left bottom corner.
I sit about 10 feet from the digital photo frame and the pictures taken outside show up bright and clear, those that are taken at night or on a dark background are not nearly as easy to see. Looking through the menus, I can find no way to adjust the screen's contrast or brightness. Speaking of the menus, they are fairly self-explanatory, with the exception of the file menu. The 2GB SD card that I'm using has the photos I want to display in one folder. The digital frame did a good job of finding and displaying all of the .jpg digital photos from my various folders; however, I could find no way from the electronic menu or the thin paper instruction manual to tell the digital frame to display pictures from just one file folder. I ended up deleting all the folders on the card except the one I wanted to display.
Digital frames are in their infancy. In few years this technology will be widespread, less expensive and much more user friendly. This frame's shortcomings, the absence of an on-off timer, the inability to play .tif images, the lack of brightness and contrast controls for the display (better yet, the screen's brightness should automatically adjust to the image) and the poor design engineering means that this one doesn't measure up. It's going to get thrown back to Amazon.
Great Frame... not so great power cord February 7, 2008
We bought this frame after much research. After reading the reviews on here we decided it was the best one to go with. We just got it and I was shocked to see that the power cord plugs into the bottom and does NOT sit flush with the bottom. The cord runs perpendicular instead of at a 90 degree angle. Therefore the frame sits a bit at an angle. I am currently looking for a different cord. Otherwise so far the frame works wondefully.

I returned this product. The product does not allow you to use your pc to download and manipulate your pictures and music.

Bought this and a nextar frame. This frame works great! no problems, easy to use and a great picture. I would recommend this to any one interested in a digital picture frame. Both of my parents, who are technologically inept, can work it. do not buy the nextar frame. This and the Kodak work much better.
Love it January 13, 2008

This picture frame is extremely easy for a beginner. Plug and play, literally. Today, I am playing my Xmas in Hawaii slideshow to Hawaiian music. I never had any experience with ipods or music files--with this neat frame, you just drop your tunes off the computer onto a card along with your pics, plug it into the frame, and voila. Very nice!
My only gripe is with the instructions---maybe it's just me needing more beginner language, but even so, the glory of the product is that the remote is self-explanatory, so even without more concise info in the booklet, you can still do it all with this!
