Customer Review: Highly recommeded product
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE: 1/30/2008
This item has been priced at nearly $200 lately. I think that price is too high. Even at $150, this should be overpriced. I would wait for the price to come down or get the same item from another source!
Below are my original comments in Nov. 2006:
I have this product for several days now and I am very happy with it. My co-workers liked it too.
Pros:
- beautiful, crisp images even at close range
- controllable brightness level
- programmable display - can be turned on and off automatically at certain times
- has option for battery or AC
- support for multiple memory cards
- easily loads and displays file from an SD card without having to worry about filenames.
- automatically rotates images
- has internal memory for extra images. I've read that it's only 14MB though.
- resizes the pictures without cropping them.
Cons;
- Battery is not replaceable.
- No battery level indicator.
- Battery life is only 50 minutes in slideshow mode (based on published specs.)
- edges in some images have become rugged even though I have my pictures in the same ratio as 720x480.
- no touch screen input (or is that too much?)
- the controls at the back needs a little of getting used to, otherwise they are well placed
- In my first few minutes of use, I have observed that it was not displaying one image properly during a slide show. I just pressed a button to change it to Browse mode then back to Slideshow mode and it did not happen again.
- If an SD card is inserted and the digital frame is turned on, it automatically copies the files from the card to its internal memory. This process is slow. I am not sure why it's doing it. So I make it a habit to turn it on first then insert the SD card.
Not tested for:
- Software that came with the product
Some things that I did:
- I resized my huge images (I kept the original of course) and it saved me a lot of space without affecting the display quality much. I have my pictures sizes between 32KB to 250KB. If your images don't have the same ratio as 720x480, they will have dark border on the sides or on top and bottom.
- I used 2GB of SD card. All I did was insert it at the back and I started to enjoy the pictures.
Conclusion:
- This is a highly recommended product despite it's minor problems. The price is fair compared to similar products - which I've read are not as good as this. I am just wondering Why is it that their 9-inch version has a lower resolution? That is the reason why I opted for this.
