Customer Reviews

Finally figured out displaying photos in a particular order3
Overall: very good picture quality with poor documentation and interface.

Having 1500+ photos to get in the frame, I opted to use the supplied Optipix optimization s/w. This wound up making it difficult to arrange my photos and led to several discoveries about the product.

Experimental Observations:
a. Photos are displayed on the frame from earliest to latest modification date.
b. Photos can be placed in folders on an SD card, folders will be displayed earliest to latest creation date.
c. Optipix S/W handles horiz. pictures well, gets grainy on vert. pix.
d. Internal memory only held about 1000 optimized pix in my case
e. Internal memory access is slow via USB
f. Need to have PC on and USB connected prior to booting frame to be able to delete files on internal memory via USB

In the end, given that I saw 4GB SD cards free after rebate, the internal memory seemed like a waste of time.

I finally settled on the following process for getting photos to display in order using an SD card:

1) Use Optipix for horiz. pix as needed for compression, store on PC.
2) Arrange pix in folders on SD card, being careful create folders in the order I want them displayed (makes it easier to manage groups of photos).
3) Change modification date of photos within folders (e.g. add an "_" to end of file name) to order pix if needed
4) Insert SD card into frame and sit back.

I am pleased enough with the quality of the product to buy a couple more as gifts for the relatives, but I plan to set up the SD cards beforehand so it is plug-n-play for them.

Very nice frame...5
The picture quality and video quality on this frame is excellent, sharp and clear and very impressive. I must say that I could not get the Optipix Pro software to work, maybe its me but I tried everything I could think of with no dice. I ended up dragging and dropping pictures to the internal memory of the frame and that was fast and easy. I will be using some 1 GB SD cards to load photos onto and then using those for slide shows, as that way you can keep the slide shows fresh. The learning curve on this photo frame isn't too bad even though the instruction manual is poor, but contains enough information to let you know how to navigate the menus. The sound quality from the tiny speakers is what you would expect, not great but OK for hearing voices and sounds from a video but not very good for music for slide shows, I didn't even try to add music to the frame. The video's must be in .MOV or .AVI format to work on this frame. My digital camera (Canon SD1000) takes .AVI video files and they work slick on this frame, very clear and smooth at 30 FPS. Just pop in the SD card, navigate with the remote to "Show Video" and then select "SD Card" from the menu and then select which video clip you want to see, very easy once you are familiar with the menu's. All in all I recommend this frame as the picture and video quality is excellent and isn't that the most important thing?

great quality, easy to program5
I bought this as a gift. I transferred a friend's lifetime of photos onto an SD card on my PC along with a couple classical tunes from a CD. It was so easy and then all you do is plug in the card, turn on the power, and the photos are displayed in screenshow format with the music in the background. My friend was thrilled that his life in photos (73 years) had been digitized so he could enjoy it with his family. The quality of the frame is excellent and the screen is large enough for everyone in the room to see it. I'm no computer whiz and this was EASY!
I will purchase this product again.
