Does What I Want, But Not As Advertised
By hihosilver
This product seemed to work great at first, but then I started adding a few more pictures from my 7 megapixel camera and the slideshows constantly froze on random pictures. Exchanged the first frame (thank you Amazon) and the second frame did exactly the same thing. After a few hours of trial and error, I finally got the pictures suitable and the slideshows do not freeze anymore. In short, I found that cropping my pictures from my camera was not enough ... apparently the file sizes were too big for the slideshow to handle, so I had to scale the pictures down too. The pictures still look great on the frame (no loss of quality after resizing) and this would not have been a big deal at all if it would have been mentioned in the instructional manual. The manual claims that you can take your memory card straight from your camera, plug it into your digital frame, and the slideshow should work. Didn't work at all like that for me with two different frames. In addition, the control buttons on the back of my frame do nothing. Thank goodness the remote control works.
I love the quality of the pictures, the frame itself looks beautiful, and I have it working the way I want it to now ... so I will happily keep this frame, but the frame does not exactly work as advertised.

AVOID! Images freeze rendering this product useless
By J. Robinson
I have six of these frames - bought one, liked it a lot, bought more for both myself and to give as gifts. 4 of 6 do not function.
The image quality is quite good, but sadly this becomes irrelevant as the images freeze, sometimes after just a few minutes. Only a hard reset will start it again, and then the cycle of freezing resumes.
After I searched I discovered many reviews both on this site and elsewhere about the freezing issue (do a google search to find out). Some speculate on images sizes, types, etc.; none of this seems to matter -- I have tried it all. Basic jpeg's at a few hundred k all the way up to multi-megabyte files freeze.
A year ago there were very few 15" digital frames on the market. Now there are many. look elsewhere or you will regret it.

Great Way to Display Pictures
By Navy gal
My Fiancé bought this for me a couple months ago and I love it BUT as everyone else seems to have already stated it does freeze on some photos but after reading these reviews I now know why! :) the only other problem I have with it is when we turn it off with the remote it won't stay off a few minutes or even an hour later it will turn on again by itself. The only way to stop this is actually turning the the ON/OFF button that is located on the bottom of the frame on off. I use a USB thumb drive for my pictures and its rather small but since the card and USB readers (along with the ON/OFF switch) is located on the bottom of the frame it doesn't fit under there so the frame is lop-sided unless we hang it up or prop something else up under the other corner.
