Exactly What I WantedJanuary 6, 2009 Bought this as a Christmas present for my Grandmother, and have had no problems. Used a Kodak 512 MB SD card, frame picked it up straight away, and starts showing the pictures as soon as it's turned on. I'd advise either having all of your pictures in the same orientation - landscape or portrait. Quite amusing to find it had stretched the one portrait picture I had included, resulting in my brothers head being chopped off!! Easy to use, no problems at all. Looks really nice too.
Cheap and Cheerful but pics not so goodJanuary 6, 2009 For the money you can grumble but to be honest i wish I had spent 90 and got a decent one!
Do not use a 2GB Card with this product.December 30, 2008 R. G. Pharo(Worcestershire, UK) Firstly, on opening the photoframe, we realised that we would have to transfer our photos on to the SD card (that's the only type it takes). We needed a Card Reader (bought swiftly via Amazon from ABC Products - a reasonably-priced excellent piece of kit). Having transferred around 110 photos on to the 2GB SD card our daughter provided and previewed them on the computer, we spent considerable time trying to get the Photoframe to 'play' more than a couple of dozen photos. It is only when reading other customer reviews that we find that the Photoframe does not like 2GB memory cards. We will now try a 1GB card. Watch this space!
DodgyDecember 29, 2008 Beardo Poor range of options, always reverts to pre sets when switched on and buttons do not work well. Cheap but better products elsewhere.
good valueDecember 29, 2008 Senior Consultant(London) It's the cheapest digital photo frame you can find now. And for the money it's good value. Looks pretty stylish, black/transparent frame is very modern and pleases most. Obviously not very high quality finish but works very well when it's on the shelf or on the wall.
I bought this as a christmas present and also bought the strikingly similiar looking one from [] (Synn). The looks on the two are almost identical, but there was one crucial difference which made this the superior one. Very simply the fact that it starts automatically playing images when you plug in the power. You have to click four times the play button the [] frame. Makes a huge difference in usability. Especially since it was going for my grandmother, who doesn't really use any electric devices expect the tv. This she can use without any problems.
Good value for money. If you have extra time, you might want to crop your pictures before copying them to the frame to make sure they fit nicely and don't get stretched. I would also recommend tweaking brightness, contrast and saturations etc. of the images on a computer first to make sure they look crisp and colorful on the frame.
