Decent Photo Frame a Tad Pricey

Strange as it seems, I often find myself pricing digital photo frames when at local big-box retailers. They seem like such a great gift idea, but I'm hard pressed to spend $130+ to display my photos.

This frame, while in the $90 range, is certainly more affordable, but not quite the performance-for-bargain I was hoping for.

Though I have one digital frame at home (a Westinghouse), I was keen for a second to put on display downstairs.

For argument's sake, let's say I'm the type of person who doesn't like to read directions. That being said, I fidgeted with the frame's interface for about five minutes before I figured out how to move through all the menus, change the clock, delete the 'Philips' photos and set my photos to a slide-show mode. It was a little awkward, but not unbelievably difficult.

What I like most:

~The frame's actual design. It's very sleek looking and compact, which is a huge improvement on some of the bulkier frames out there (like my Westinghouse).

Very happy with it

I purchased two as gifts. I found the picture quality to be excelent. Good 800 by 600 dpi resolution. I had no problem loading pictures and viewing both thru a 1 gig SD card and the usb connection. I had a little trouble navigating the menu but then I only looked at the instructions for about one minute. Once I figured it out it was easy enough. I really liked the range of times available for the slide viewing, from 5 seconds to 1 day. I liked the auto shutoff feature. I did have a little trouble with copying pictures over. Seems like I had to create subfolders in order for all the pictures to copy over. But once over they all displayed. It does not bring a remote or play video or sound but I did not want those features anyway. Over all I'm very happy and will probably buy one for myself soon.
