Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Clear) w/3 Additional Colored Frames
Customer Review: PHILLIPS is the best so far
Summary: 5 Stars
No doubt.
Pros:
- Easy to use quick interface to managing pics: just drag and drop, or drag off for delete.
- Hold tons of pics
- Able to interface to any type of memory chip. Since I own Sony a lot, I wanted and easy interface, Son has the 'other' chips, all work.
- MENUING system on the frame is easy. Allows to include or not, pics already desired in the memory. You can set to pics to flash randomly, or in order, can have the frame dim at set times [say at night] or brighten during sun shinning on it.
- can set it to turn off
- can set it to display pics from a few seconds to min [say 10] or more.
- very nice looking frames, got the clear and used the magnetic white outline inner frame.
- VERY sturdy.
- interface software and USB makes this a snap to interface and get going. it automatically stops the pics showing when interfacing, then resets QUICKLY when unplugged.
CONS:
- I'll let you know
Customer Review: LOVE IT!!!!

My son just gave this item for Christmas. To make my life easier, as I am not that electronically savvy, he also gave me a gadget called SanDisk ImageMate 5 in 1 Reader. It has a slot for an SanDisk memory card. You place your memory card in the slot and then plug the reader into your USB port. I then copied any digital photos to the reader, popped out the memory card and put it into the frame, turned it on, and PRESTO, my pictures loaded and started a slideshow. I had to do nothing else. It was fantastic. I had read the quick start guide and found it a little confusing. But by doing it as described above, it could not have been easier. Well worth the additional cost. As for the frame itself...it has a beautiful picture. Crystal clear. I cannot wait to buy an even bigger memory card (I am using a 256mb and currently have over 100 pictures on it). One of my favorite gifts ever!!Customer Review: You Get What You Pay For
Summary: 5 Stars
Originally, my goal was to buy a cheaper digital frame. I'd seen one in a high end electronics store. When I started researching, thanks to those that wrote their reviews, I discovered you got what you paid for. The cheaper frame had a number of problems with reliability and operation. The Phillips consistently had good reviews. Once ordered, the item arrived quickly with good tracking. Setup was fast and it's been running fine ever since.
My only issue at setup was that the paper directions were a bit sparse. It took a couple of tries and checking the computer directions to get things going.
I'd bought a 1GB disk but have found 57 pictures can be saved on the frame. There is a problem in that while you can have the frame memory or chip memory; you can't use both at the same time.
Bottom line: Spend a bit more, it's worth it.
Customer Review: Very Happy

I bought this frame for my office after I had given the wooden model frame to my wife for Christmas. Both are really nice and easy to use. I like the ability to have the frame turn itself on and off at a predetermined times. Not only does it save power, but it also is a great reminder that I have spent enough time at the office and it is now time to go home! The picture is bright and the OS/Interface is not that hard to use once you are used to it. About a 10 minute learning curve. We have had no problems and give this frame an unqualified recommendation. The only thing I could possibly be unhappy about is Amazon's "dynamic" pricing policy. When I bought the frame for my wife it was $150 with free shipping in December, my frame was $190 plus shipping in January and as I write this it is back at $150 with free shipping.Customer Review: Excellent quality and easy to set up
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading many reviews here of digital picture frames, I settled on this one based on the excellent reviews. The reviews were correct: this has very good picture quality and is easy to set up. It's worth the money to get a good quality digital frame like this one. Don't go for the $50 frame at Wal-mart (which is what I first considered). I bought it as an anniversary present for my husband and loaded it up with pictures from our wedding (which I had to scan in since we were married before the days of digital cameras). I also put in some pictures of our Hawaii vacation and pets. Even the internal memory holds a lot of pictures but if you use a memory stick, you can put a huge number of pictures on it. My husband enjoys leaving it sitting on the dining room table and watching the slide show on it while he eats.
