Good digital frame for the money June 2, 2008
I purchased this frame for my mother, and it was a little tricky for her to operate at first because she is not technologically inclined. She was able to follow my written instructions to successfully operate the frame after a little practice. I like the way this frame fades in and out with different visual effects during a slide show. Overall, it is a good frame for the money!
Great gift purchase June 2, 2008
This is a fabulous gift item. It was purchased to provide a special Mother's Day gift. Using old photographs that were scanned into the computer and then transferred to the frame, the pictures were crisp and clear. It was a great opportunity to reflect the many years that were covered. Needless the say, the gift recipient was quite pleased; however, you definitely need to have computer knowledge when working with this item.
Decent little frame June 2, 2008
The only reason I'm giving this a 4-star instead of 5-star review is the price. I got this for $50 in the Gold Box and would pay up to $70-80 for another one for my grandmother. But $150? You've got to be kidding.
I shoot in camera raw (Olympus) and convert to 4x6 jpgs before importing to the frame. I'm able to store about 90 photos on the frame this way. I like that you can customize slideshows, change speeds, rotate images, etc right in the frame. Very easy to use and excellent picture quality. I come from a family of photographers and everyone has been impressed by the resolution and accurate color of the screen.
This frame and accompanying software work great for me, but I have a PC. Can't really comment on all the Mac users' complaints.
 Use the included software. June 1, 2008
It's on the small size but it is excellent quality with a easy-to-use menu system.
When you use the supplied USB cable to connect it to your PC, Windows will mount all the frame's memory ports (there are five, the frame itself has a small amount of built in memory, and four additional ports to accomodate all the memory cards you might add). Windows with look for the first available drive letter past C: and then add the ports sequentially, even if you already have something mounted there. Initally, it took me a while to figure out that I couldn't access my added CF memory card because my first available drive letter was F: and I had a network drive mounted on H:. I had to disconnect my H: drive before I could see the CF card in the frame.
It is tempting to just use windows to copy your jpgs to the mounted memory, but don't bother. This frame may not display them. Install and use the supplied software to copy your pictures from your PC to the frame. The software will optimally reformat the pictures as you copy them. In addition to fixing small differences in your jpgs internal format, the images will be resized appropriately for the resolution of the frame. Doing that you will be able to store MANY MORE photos on small memory cards. You might already have one lying around your house, left ver from a digital camera memory upgrade.
Great deal, high resolution 4:3 std format frame. May 29, 2008
The Philips 5.6" digital picture frame is the best in terms of price and features. This one boasts a 4:3 format 640 by 480 pixel bright display measuring 5.6" diagonally. While not the largest frame in size, the included features make this one a keeper. Most frames on the market today are typically a wide-format display. Almost all digital cameras take pictures in 4:3 format. This means that a 4:3 frame will show your entire picture without cropping or stretching.
This frame includes a CF slot and a second slot that supports multiple formats of flash memory. It also includes onboard memory which allows you to store 60-100 pictures.
The colors are impressive and pictures are sharp. I got the frame recently when Amazon had it for ~$50 during their 2008 Mother's Day promotion and it is so worth the price.
Some other neat features:
1. Can be used as an alarm clock with customizable photo/message display
for the event.
2. Programmable slide shows and albums, easy to organize.
3. Says it supports SDHC memory (I did not test this).
4. Programmable auto power off/on.
5. Removable (changeable?) outer plastic frame.
No problems with the included software on my PC platform (Windows XP). Pretty much drag and drop and the software does the necessary conversions to copy your photos to the correct resolutions so it saves memory.
Excellent buy!
