Can't believe how easy it was

I have read with trepidation over the last year difficulties that people have had setting up and using digital frames. This was a 80th birthday gift, so I was a bit concerned that it would be a problem to use for someone who isn't that comfortable with technology. I could not believe how easy it was to set up and use. In fact, I was able to get everything set up and going in literally minutes. The picture quality was great. Love the "mosaic" feature. And the receiver and his wife have been able to figure everything out without a problem. I was a bit surprised at the lack of a remote, but honestly don't think they would have used it that much anyway. Great purchase, I'll be getting more for gifts in the future.

Works well, filenaming size issue

Overall this product works well. I noticed other reviews complained about order of pictures being displayed. I shut off the shuffle option and mine did display pictures based on filename order. I prefer the shuffle option though. I have not had the power problem others talked about. One thing that was very frustrating was it would freeze at certain pictures. I finally determined that the picture filename of the succeeding picture was too long. Evidently the picture filenames must be 10 characters or less. Once I changed the filename lengths it worked flawlessly. I only use compactflash cards as that is what I have extra of. I have thousands of pictures on my computer so I setup different folders of pictures and copy those folders to a compactflash card to have the digital frame show different pictures when I get bored with the current set.

pretty good large display price - not too user friendly

I haven't had the problems that many others who've reviewed this product have had. Basically, I just need a large size electronic display for my digital photos. As it is, I found it to be a decent option for the price.

I think size wise, it's very nice. I had a 7" frame which was too small to be seen properly from across the room. At 10", this one is quite visible. And, close up, the picture is bright and the resolution is good.

I do find the fact that the camera displays pictures in an odd order a little annoying. The buttons could definitely have been better designed. But, for just putting a few pictures on a memory card of some type and turning it on and forgetting about it, it's not bad.

When you read the other reviews, think about how much control you want. Are you looking for a decent priced, large electronic photo display, or do you need a sophisticated, user friendly media display device?
