 Wonderful Beautiful Frame January 27, 2008

My Pandigital was a gift from my husband. Mine is the 128 MB model. I found it very easy to use with my photos, video and music. I attached a little MP3 speaker and slid it behind the frame for better sound. I also bought a custom Pandigital wood and bronze frame at Dillards that matches my home decor a little more. Although the model I saw at Bed Bath and Beyond comes with a black and brown frame mine came with only the black and acrylic. The acrylic frame is nothing that I will ever use. This frame will run all day and never get warm. The frame can be viewed at all angles without any loss of quality. Great gift for a digital camera person. Now I can view all my macro camera photos with my favorite music.
I used Power Point to create text and photos for a scrapbook effect using old family photos with different backgrounds and saved the presentation in JPG format and placed them on a ditital SD card and it looked perfect on the digital frame. I also used a few slideswhow presentations from Proshow gold by Photodex and saved them in MPEG-4. All the photos, sound, video and transitions within the presentations of Pro Show were smooth and the audio was great.
This a very useful beautiful product. This would make a very nice gift for those family members that do not have a computer and never get to see all those digital photos that you take and for those of us who take digital photos that we love and be able to share them as a moving art show in our living room.
Fast, easy to use, and large 800x600 resolution April 6, 2008

This photo frame gives you instant gratification even without a computer. Simply take the memory card out of your digital camera, stick it in one of the 4 slots:
Slot 1 - Secure Digital or MultiMedia Card
Slot 2 - Compact Flash
Slot 3 - Memory Stick
Slot 4 - xD Memory Card,
turn on the power switch and the slide show starts immediate.
There is a remote if you want to toggle between the memory cards, or bring up thumbnail mode to select a photo, choose transitions, select speed of slide show, etc. But I just use it in whatever mode it came with and it all works fine.
Connecting to the computer was not a problem for me. Perhaps it depends on the laptop and drivers. However for my Lenovo T61p, I simply connected the included USB cable, the frame was recognized by my computer, all the drives and the internal memory. Copying files over was as simple as dragging and dropping.
One note, because of the FAT file format, you cannot drag too many files into the root directory of any of the memory cards, or internal memory. I think the limit for FAT is 200 and FAT16 is 512. Instead, I created subfolders numbered 00, 01, 02, 03, etc, and dragged a couple hundred files into each. The frame will randomly cycle photos from any and all subfolders.
The other thing I did was resize all of my jpegs to 800x600 so that I can get the most number of pictures into the internal memory. I used a freeware program called resizejpegs v1.00. It does a great job of allowing you to select a folder and resizes jpegs to the desired size. You can choose whether to overwrite the original file, or create a subfolder where all of the resized files go.
To me, the frame was very easy to use, and does not require a computer if all you want to do is preview photos from your memory cards. Resizing the jpegs is a good idea for snappy transitions between photos, although they claim to support pictures up to 12M pixels. Since the native resolution is 800x600 (more than other digital picture frames), if you resize to 800x600, the average file size is only 80KB, you will get about 1500 pictures on the 128 MB internal memory.

Product works as said. Great as a gift. Its adapter works worldwide. I just plugged it at my place outside US and it just works the same.
Great product! May 31, 2008

This frame is easy to use and the picture quality is great! I had received a cheaper digital frame as a gift and returned it after I realized it was such poor quality. This frame is worth the money! One feature that is nice is that it has a timer - you can have it turn on and off rather than have it run 24/7. It is also made so you don't have to resize your pictures to get them to look good. The cheaper varieties have you resizing, otherwise your pictures look "stretched".
Excelent love it July 21, 2008

This was not an item I would not automatically get ... but I got a gift card to Amazon. I did some research and this item was rated the best for viewing photos. For one of the very few times ever with ordering merchandise I was not disappointed with what I got. I saw the frames my friends had ... it was ok ... but the image on the 8" frame was huge and crystal clear
