5 Stars Sony Digital Photo Frame

We have been very satisfied with this product so far. We like all the different options for inputting photos into the digital photo frame memory.

3 Stars Didn’t find this product easy to use
The Sony DPF-D70 is my first experience with a digital frame, so perhaps the ease of use and internal capacity are average for these types of products. But I have not found the product easy to use. The internal memory is quite small, so I got a memory card. Putting photos on the memory card is a bit of heavy lifting (you have to add the photos to the internal memory first, then export them to the card, then delete them from the internal memory so you can add more photos, which you then export, etc.). The documentation is all but useless. I ended up going to the Sony site to get a little better explanation. The little remote is very unresponsive (and everything has to be done with the remote).

Once the photos are loaded, the quality is quite good. The frame itself is elegant in a high tech sort of way. The frame was a gift for my Mom, and she is thrilled to have the hundreds of photos I scanned and loaded on it, in addition to the digital photos all us kids contributed.

4 Stars Great quality picture, but issue with clock view is perplexing
If you are looking for a high quality, great looking frame, this will do the trick. The main issue I have with it, as others have noted, is when in Clock View mode the time displayed is when the picture being viewed was taken (note that there are 2 clock view modes: one with just the clock and the other with a clock and picture). This is completely illogical for what you would expect, and completely useless (it doesn’t display the *date* it was taken, just the hour and minute! In Calendar view, though, the date *is* the current date). It’s too bad because Clock+Picture View is what I would like to have it in most. There was a comment that you could override the default and show the actual time, but I haven’t figured it out. The clock is an analog style clock, and when each new picture comes up the hands of the clock spin around each time and stop when the picture was taken. People seeing it think it is bizarre behavior, and it is. Other than that, if you want make the frame do any of the many other things it can do, there is a learning curve. From my reading about digital picture frames in general, most people complain the instructions are too hard, or, when the instructions are easy, they complain there is limited functionality. This frame has a lot of functionality, so there are a lot of procedures, and buttons, to figure out. Issues aside, once you get everything figured out the way you want, it’s the quality of the display that makes this frame a keeper and is a very nice addition to your office or home.

5 Stars Is Frametastic too strong a word? I think not.
This digital photo frame is quite wonderful for so many things, but please do not try to nail it to the wall. You will get 1’s and 0’s all over the floor. Ha, ha. Just kidding.

Seriously though, if you have digital photos, then this is the frame for you! It displays pictures that you have taken with a camera and then shows them for all the world to see. It does not, however, display your secrets or weird things you have in your mind, so please do not worry about that.

If you have ever wanted to support your country, this is the time and the way to do it. Please buy this 7-inch digital photo frame and you will be glad that you purchased it. Even if your kids are fugly! No, just kidding.

2 Stars Close but not quite…..
Good Points:

Picture quality is great.

It’s easy to load pictures via computer our memory card.

Bad Point:

Compatability issues with pictures altered in Photoshop is a big problem.

Worst Point:

The lack of “randomness” in the random mode on this frame is frustrating and ridiculous. If I have several hundred pictures loaded, why does it get stuck on a few pictures and repeat those same pictures continuously? That’s pretty disappointing considering technology these days and that’s not a very complex function.
