Summary: not a good deal for the money
Comment: There are much better frames out there. Also note that this frame has a very large and unattractive logo on the front.

Summary: Great concept
Comment: I was very pleased with a lower priced digital frame on Amazon. Side views give the traditional LCD "blacking" but I was able to get it to slide show by pressing random buttons. Once I read the manual, set-up was easy. My parents come over and stare at it for hours.

Summary: This is the one! I found it!
Comment: I have been evaluating AND BUYING digital photo frames for weeks. I was looking for a 5.6 inch or 7.0 inch model that cost $150 or less. There's a lot of no-name models on the market, and the one thing that none of them seemed to do right was A) photo scaling and B) slideshow transition selection.

For A, all these smaller models (with the stupid widescreen display) insisted on either overscaling the photo to the 16:9 display, or underscaling it to something less than 4:3. So people either look fat or skinny, never just right. Why they would screw this up I have no idea -- 99% of the digital photos in the world are in 4:3 aspect ratio, and no thanks I'm not about to crop hundreds of photos.

For B, all these smaller models only offered random transitions. That is, they would wipe left, then wipe up, then do a venetian blind effect, et cetera. You can't tell it to use a specific transition.

THIS MODEL DOES BOTH RIGHT! Standard 4:3 photos are not distorted by the widescreen display, and I can choose a specific transition! Even better, it has the simple "crossfade" transition that nobody else seems to have, at least not at this price point.

The display is OK, I've seen worse. It doesn't randomize the photos, but I can fix that by renaming them. In short, I've finally found the DPF for me! Too bad that (as I write this) Amazon doesn't have any available :) I'd point you directly to the frame's manufacturer, but Amazon probably doesn't like that in comments so I won't.

Summary: Digital Frame Review
Comment: Very cool product. Screen smaller then imagined but still good quality. Could use different packaging. The box it came in made it look cheap. But overall very nice gift!

Customer Rating:
Summary: an eye sore logo
Comment: The picture frame works fine though the resolution is not so good. However, the frame has a logo at the lower right corner (like one of the review said) which is very tacky. The manufacturer should consider either removing that or replacing it with a nicer logo.
