  • OM · 2 years ago
    i picked up 4 digital photo frames this past christmas for various family members. we went with the pandigital 7" frame because costco had it on sale with a 512MB card for $129. on top of the 512MB card, the pandigital had 64MB on board. no fancy wifi, no POP support, just straight up memory card. well we ordered 4 of them and i have to tell you, they sucked.

    the quality was horrible. the whole widescreen option is ridiculous, if a vertical picture was previously cropped the widescreen display would cut off the head because of the newly cropped aspect ratio. anyway, we returned all 4 of them.

    then we were walking around target and saw some 7" kodak frames, yes they were $179 each but the quality was amazing. no on board memory, no bells and whistles. just a high quality display. so i started doing some research and it turns out they're a target exclusive, and it turned out they were on sale that week only for $149 (only $20 more than the pandigistal). needless to say, we picked up 4 of them.

    what i learned is that if you don't spend the $ on the bells and whistles and spend the money on the display two things happen. a) you get a better experience looking at the photos and b) even your grandmother who doesn't read english can set it up (yes, this actually happened).

    hope this helps.

    If you are looking for a networked digital photo frame, without the need for a local wireless network, then I have setup the following system:

    DigiVista ClearView 10 - 10.4? Digital Photo Frame with USB port
    connected to a
    Motorola Razr V6 maxx cell phone via USB cable

    See http://www.digivista.com.au/product_digivista_c... for more info.

    The phone receives picture messages from other cell phones and the pictures are then displayed directly on the 10.4? digital photo frame.

    I think its a far better solution as it doesn?t rely on any local internet connection - only the cell phone network. Also the screen is 640x40 standard 4:3 aspect ratio.

    that should have been 640 x 480 pixels...

    7 inch digital picture frames are always a trouble unless you are prepared to cut/crop your pictures. Unless your camera supports the 16:9 aspect ratio. I prefer the features I wish they would release a photo framein 4:3 aspect as well. Digital Photo frames are supposed to relieve us from the use of computers to show/modify pictures if not why don't we just use the printer to print it out ?

    How about this offering for around US$150 ... A bluetooth enabled digital photo frame with 128MB memory, USB port, movie support, video support, speakers and remote control. Can stream content from a WiFi Bluetooth source.
