A Sony Digital Photo Frame Review

Advantages: Good if you have a lot of pictures on your computer.
Disadvantages: There is always something moving in the corner of your eye.

...I bought this digital photo frame for my eldest daughter as the sales assisstant in the shop said it is ideal for people with a lot of pictures and as she is leaving school soon she will have a lot of photos lying on the computer. This gift is ideal for people is their computer it full up with holiday pictures etc. It is a regular photo frame size, which is ideal. The picture quality is fantastic, however this depends on the quality of the camera you took the photo on in the first place. It is good that you can change the picture often by uploading new photos onto it (instructions make this very easy). You can choose which pictures you wish to view and how the transition of the photos occurs. The only down side is that if the photo is small then it doesn't stretch to the edges of the frame....

Review of Sony DPF-V900 - Digital photo frame - flash 512 MB - 9"

Pixelar digital frames 7" and 15"

Advantages: ease of use ,picture quality
Disadvantages: 7" couldnt wall hang...no slots

...i actually bought the 7" PWCL7 and PBCL15 FRAMES...little one for a friend as xmas present,and the big one for me..;-). The quality of the 7" one when i started it up with an sd card out of my camera was surprisingly good for a little frame.Worked straight from plugging in really...also linked to pc and could download from pc via usb lead provided.Could orient the frame in portrait and lansdcape...but would need to orient the pics too...did via the remote control.picture bright and colour good. The 15" one was lovely,with stunning picture quality..seems to have same software in it as 7"-handy as i bought two.This one can go on a wall using the screw recesses in back..and thoughtfully has a longer lead power supply for the wall hanging option... Overall i am a happy chappy... (**)...

Pixelar 7 inch white digital photo frame

Advantages: nice looking,ease of use,multifunctional,excellent picture quality-with music at same time
Disadvantages: no wall hanging slots

...I bought this pwcl7 white digital photo frame from the pixelar website, It came quickly-2 dys - and was well packaged, I have bought a 5.6" one and another 7" elsewhere over last 18 months but i have to say i was impressed by the quaolity and functions available on this one.the picture quality was very good and it was very easy to use, with good brightness and contrast range.The remote also had a mode function which enabled you to change from 16:9 to 4:3 ratio,,handy as most of my pictures are 4:3. it wasnt the cheapest..like my other 7" i bought,but it certainly was a goodd money buy. downsides.well i really wanted a black one but i found that this fits just about anywhere,currently on my office desk.Only criticism if i am being fair is that you cant wall hang it,but it may llook a bit daf that small on a wall. Remote easy to use...

SONY - THE NAME FOR FRAME ACCLAIM

Advantages: Crisp images, easy to use, looks lovely, large screen
Disadvantages: No USB Cable supplied - so no way of getting photographs onto the frame without buying one

...My Mum, bless her, can?t get her head around viewing photographs on a computer monitor, she is of the generation that like their pictures in albums or in a frame, to be enjoyed at her leisure, preferably in a comfy chair, and without the need for constant mouse clicking. Between the family members with digital cameras we have a fair number of digital photographs, numbering into the thousands in fact, but not having a limitless supply of ink and photo paper printing them off would be immensely costly, as well as time consuming. Clearly something had to be done to open up these many photographs to Mum, which is how I found myself toying with the idea of a digital photo frame for Mothers Day. The brief was to find one that was simple to operate, aesthetically pleasing and with enough storage to hold as many photographs as we could throw...

Review of Sony DPF-V900 - Digital photo frame - flash 512 MB - 9"

Pixelar 7 inch white digital frame

Advantages: ease off use and many functions
Disadvantages: i want a bigger one!!

...This pwbcl7 7 inch digital photo frame is one of two i bought recently. this was the more expensive one but is far superior.....the other living images one stopped working after 2 weeks. the on screen menu is very straightfoirward,which is handy because i did wonder if the technology was going to be too much for me. the remote control is simplicity itself. One very handy option is the ability to switch between 16:9 and 4:3 picture ratios.,as 16:9 ratios are standard it seems on digital frames,but normal camera pictures are 4:3..so this option avoids cropping or stretching of photos. the screen quality seems excellent,and the 256mb of internal memory is the highest i found for a 7 inch. it plays videos clips too and sound ie music mp3 whilst photo slideshow playing. Overall i would say its excellent value for money and may go...

Review of Pixelar Digital Photo Frame

~*~*~You've been framed~*~*~

Advantages: great quality finish, excellent picture quality an overall stylish product
Disadvantages: quite expensive

...I already have a digital photo frame and don't really need another! Thing is I have this problem?I se something and want it. I was browsing Play.com the other night (I know huge mistake) and decided that it would be rather good to order a few unnecessary but luxurious gifts with my larger than normal pay packet. The Philips frame seemed like a good buy at the time, it still is although my bank balance does not agree. APPEARANCE --------------------- The frame is very stylish and it does look like a 'normal' picture frame. It looks very good on a shelf and to the 'untrained' eye would look like any normal frame. In fact my Kodak frame looks quite artificial but this looks like a very normal, bog standard but stylish frame. Without wanting to sound 'stuck up' this frame does look stylish and 'refined' it does look like an expensive...

Review of Philips 9FF2CWO - Digital photo frame - 9"

~~A post-halloween treat from Digital Photo!~~

Advantages: This is an effective hands-on guide with free CD for Photoshop users
Disadvantages: A little bit expensive for non-Photoshop software users

..., simplicity and holiness. It is the motif of the angels from heaven, the friendly ghosts (like Casper), the beautiful lady in the 'balete' tree, the bride-to-be waiting for the groom to take her hands in the altar, or even our hardworking doctors and nurses and the Wimbledon tennis players. These are some of the things that I could think why 'black and white' are influential in our lives. Being a photo hobbyist, B&W is something unique and it could graphically and effectively illustrate those different perceptions by using camera. I could also relate B&W to mono images which I am happy to share my thoughts on the various special editions of "Digital Photo" magazine published from 2006 to present, mainly focused on mono images or B&W format, including main sections of the publication. Briefly, the magazine is being published monthly at £4...

Review of Digital Photo Magazine

Remember those old family side shows?

Advantages: Cheap unit that's no worse than many of its expensive competitors
Disadvantages: Fiddly to use and limited viewing angle - do you really need one?

...I was a fairly early-comer to the use of digital photo frames. I'm not the kind of person who likes lots of photos scattered around the house but felt that, with a young son, I really should have some up. Irrational? Maybe. Digital photo frames really sounded like the answer and Tesco's in-house brand of Technika caught my eye. The frames on offer were a fraction of the price of the branded products from the likes of Sony and Kodak but seemed to have very similar functionality. So, did my budget purchase make the grade? Kind of (but, to be honest the real answer should be "yes" as the more expensive models suffer from many of the same issues). Style The first frame I acquired was a simple 7" frame. Aesthetically it's clearly a plastic affair being white with a clear Perspex surround but it's simply styled and should...

Review of Technika 7" Advanced Digital Photo Frame

Digital Photo Printing at Boots

Advantages: Quick and Easy Self Service - Quality - Professional
Disadvantages: Not the cheapest

...I have a digital camera, and keep my photos on my computer's hard-drive, but occasionally I like to get better and more interesting pictures printed, it just seems so much more natural to hold a real photo than look at it on the screen, plus it's better for showing them to people when a computer or TV isn't available, or giving photos to people who don't have a computer or DVD player. I recently therefore took a batch of my digital photos to Boots to get them printed. Boots now have self service machines for digital photos, which allow either instant, 1 hour or 24 hour printing from various sources. This can be a memory card, a photo CD, or Infra-Red direct from a compatible phone or camera. This has 2 benefits over the old over the counter method, firstly you can keep the media that the photos are on, very useful if it's your only...

Review of Boots - Photo Processing

Technika 8" digital photo frame good value for money

Advantages: 1GB internal memory built-in, easy of use
Disadvantages: May not be recognized by certain computer e.g. XP Home with AMD chip?

...My Mrs wanted me to buy a digital photo frame because our friends have recently got one. So I started to look at the most common 7" frames and then she said they are a bit small. The next one up is 8" but with much less choices. That is not too bad because it is easier to make a decision. It was down to the final two - Tesco's Technika SR08 or the Linx 8" from Amazon. While I was browsing and investigating at my leisure, Amazon suddenly raised the price from £52.43 to £78.28! This makes the Linx too expensive. So I have just bought the Technika SR08 from Tesco Direct for £58.48 instead. The set up was easy - plug and play (well not quite that straight forward, see below). For the picture display the screen resolution is 800 x 600 pixels, better than the Linx DPF. However the manual did not mentio the screen...
