I got this product to save on paper and ink when printing pictures. This way I can also share these pictures with friends that come to visit. The menu is a little confusing but not too difficult if you read the directions and play with each function for a little while. When I was setting up the pictures I was a little disappointed with the quality of the picture until I backed up to a more normal veiwing distance. Then all the pictures looked really good. One of the reviewers mentioned that some pictures may be cut off at the top and bottom and they were right. Nothing serious but with a little editing on the computer it could be fixed. So far no one has noticed the cropping unless I point it out. The sleep feature didn’t seem to work at first until I realized that my TV remote was restarting the video slide show after it went to sleep. Must be a similar signal with the units remote. I liked all the different memory loading options. I also got this one because it has an internal memory. I wouldn’t recommend anything smaller than 7″ for around the house. This one is just about right on my end table. Smaller might be OK for your desk. While I was loading pictures I noticed a small blemish along the edge of screen. I considered returning the frame but once again when I moved back a little ways from the frame the blemish isn’t even noticeable so it isn’t an issue. For the price and size it is a very good value and being a brand I have never heard of before.

This is a great, simple, easy to use digital picture frame. Pictures and music are easily transferable to the frame. A great value!

This product isn’t bad, but it isn’t quite what I expected. First of all, though the screen is 7″, that’s a diagonal measurement (which I knew), and I hadn’t expected it to be so wide and short. I’d previously gotten a different 7″ frame that looked bigger in comparison.
As far as picture clarity goes, it’s pretty good. Could be better, but for the money it’s okay.
Another note: I wanted to return this and get a bigger one, but since you’re actually buying from a third party via Amazon, they charge you a 15% restocking fee, plus the shipping. I’d advise anyone looking into this product to see if you can find it in a store first, so you know what it looks like before you buy it from Amazon. This is the main reason it’s only 3 stars rather than 4.

the seller is fine. the problem is that this the instructions with the frame are non existant and it’s very hard to figure out how to use

Pros: Great color, good brightness, highly viewable from different angles, nice transition effects and timing options. Support for many different memory media (CompactFlash, Memory Stick, XD and Secure Digital/MMC). Tiny remote is handy and fits in the CompactFlash slot when not in use.
Cons: Poor resolution (480×234) is grainy at close range. Aspect ratio is difficult to handle; pictures have to be cropped carefully before display on the device and it does not come with any software to help. Finally, the USB connection is flaky (worked about 2/3 of the time for me) so you’ll have issues if you try to use it as a cardreader or you try to copy pictures to the built-in memory on the device.
With all that said, if you’re using your own memory card and you’re willing to crop to the 480×234 aspect ratio, it’s a great looking device and a real conversation starter.
