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" - 800 x 480

A brilliant way to display your digital snaps.

Advantages: Crisp excellent colour. Brilliant way to show off your snaps. A great feature
Disadvantages: No battery facility.

...Back in December last year my local camera shop was running an excellent promotion. If you purchased a Nikon Coolpix camera you would get a free photo frame upto the value of £50. There are many of these frames to choose from ranging from as low as £25 for a 7? frame upto and above £80 for this Sony frame. After looking at the different frames available I decided I would choose the Sony. It was the most stylish of them all and the picture quality was stunning. I added an extra £30 to the £50 rebate to purchase the Sony frame. Setup and Installation. When I got home I took the frame out of the well packed box. It came complete with a transformer to power the frame and also a remote control should you wish to use it. The instruction manual was brief but outlined the instructions with clear images to support the setup. When you first...

Review of Sony DPF-D70 - Digital photo frame - flash 256 MB - 7" - 800 x 480

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

...or slideshow preferences are lost in the event of a power outage or if you unplug it. Seriously Sony, how much would it have cost to slip a lithium battery in to alleviate this problem? Not much I?ll wager. Also, the fact that you have to purchase a proprietary Sony Bluetooth dongle at over £30 to make use of the frames Bluetooth capabilities irks me a little, and makes me wonder how Sony can boast about the frames Bluetooth credentials when it?s not Bluetooth capable out of the box. Finally, the remote is a little on the small size, meaning losing it is a real possibility. Conclusion Despite my annoyance at the USB cable issue ? and trust me, I was very annoyed ? the V900 is a stunning digital photograph frame which raises the bar in the digital photo frame genre. Quite simply it is the best digital photo frame I have ever seen, the picture...

Review of Sony DPF-V900 - Digital photo frame - flash 512 MB - 9" - 800 x 480

Frame of the Future

Advantages: Great photo quality, effecient, can hold 500 pictures
Disadvantages: never taken 500 photos, hassle with memory card, easily forgotten

...Me and my mum saw our doctor with a digital frame in her office and we thought that was such a clever device we just had to get one. In a world where everything is pretty much digital it seemed logical to show our photos from our digital camera on this rather than leaving them on the computer. ***The Product*** It has a 7inch LCD frame which is photo quality. It will rotate your picture in the frame for correct viewing of landscape and portrait positions. The multi-card slot accepts Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, SD, MMC, CompactFlash, MicroDrive or xD media.

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... (**)...

Review of Pixelar Digital Photo Frame

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...

Review of Pixelar Digital Photo Frame

A Conversation Stopper

Advantages: Shows off loads of photos without the expense of priting
Disadvantages: Distracting in slideshow mode

...would be nice, and that's what digital photo frames excel at. I don't suppose I did myself any favours by buying the Sony DPF-D70 from John Lewis in Kingston, price-wise, but it was the last shopping Saturday before her birthday, so an element of desperation was creeping in. Parting with close on one hundred smackers does indeed appear to be about £10 over the top - so much for 'Never Knowingly Undersold'. FIRST IMPRESSIONS My very first impression was 'My God, isn't the box heavy?' Refreshingly, the packaging was an ingenious fold of cardboard with not a hint of blown foam to dispose of, so it was all immediately recyclable. Contents were quite simply the frame itself, the AC adapter built into a UK plug, the remote control and the manual. UPON SWITCH ON This would have to be my first impression of any importance...

Review of Sony DPF-D70 - Digital photo frame - flash 256 MB - 7" - 800 x 480

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" - 680 x 480

Picture this!

Advantages: See review, too many to list!
Disadvantages: None for me but the Sony branding may put some off!

...D-Picture Card. Photos can also be transferred to the frames via the USB cable from a personal computer or digital camera. The only thing I did not like about this frame at first was the fact that it has an internal memory of only 512mb so once you return the memory card to the camera you have to rely on that small space to store all the images you want to display but as I mentioned earlier in the review this frame automatically re-sizes and this means you get the best out of the 512mb and I have quickly found that this will allow the storage of up to 800 images, so I have quickly gotten over that first disappointment. As I am using it in the studio I have no problem with the Sony badge on the front of this but I can see where some people are coming from when they say that this is ok for TV`s and the likes but has no place on a photo frame...
