Digital camera reviews of Axion AXN-9702 7-Inch Widescreen LCD Digital Picture Frame with Clock, Calendar and Alarm
Digital camera Review: I'd recommend it, good value.
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked up a 2GB SD memory card for under $10 and loaded it up with photos to give to my parents. This display will also play music (.mp3 files) at the same time as displaying photos which is a good feature. Easy to use, simply copy photo images to your choice of various portable memory cards (I've used both SD and USB memory sticks) and plug it in. Playing music is just as easy just drag and drop .mp3 files to the memory stick along with the photos and it finds and plays them for you. By default when you power on the unit it only displays photos (no music) but you can navigate the on-screen menus using the buttons on the back of the frame or using the included remote control to select music & photo play.
For the price you can't beat it.
This will also display photos taken in 16x9 widescreen format although my camera doesn't have this feature it still displays standard photos just fine. I would recommend it to others. I give it 4 out of 5 because the resolution of the screen could be higher.
Digital camera Review: It doesn't work. At all
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this as a Christmas gift and it never worked at all. Would not even power on. Very sad and embarrassing. I wish I had spent the money on a more reliable name brand.Digital camera Review: It would be a nice product, if it worked
Summary: 1 Stars
The first time I turned this on, I thought that all the other reviews were going to be proven wrong. Nope. After a few minutes, the frame locked up and the only way to fix it was to unplug it. This frame works but not consistently. I recommend spending the extra few dollars and buying something name brand.Digital camera Review: LCD Picture frame has horrible picture!
Summary: 1 Stars
The 2/3 left hand side has a light line going down it, and the picture quality is horrible... I dont reccomend this... its garbageDigital camera Review: Made in China
Summary: 1 Stars
I just received my AXN-9702, and it only took me 15 minutes to realize it was a low quality product. "Made in China", it says on the bottom.
The documentation is sparse and is written in poorly interpreted English. For example, on the outside of the box it says, "Powerful Built-In a Speaker" (no, the "a" is not my typo - it really says that on the box). The User Manual is not a book, but rather a fan-folded piece of paper with front-and-back print. There is no information whatsoever on how data is allowed to reside on your flash drive or memory card. The instructions, again in bad English, are also misleading. For example, here is the actual directions provided in the User Manual for "Basic play" (all capitalization and punctuation verbatim to manual): <first paragraph> "Power on the unit then enter the main menu, the screen shows 8 functions, e.g.: photo, music, photo + music, setup, calendar, clock, alarm and copy/delete." <second paragraph> "Insert a USB data traveler or SD/MMC/XD/MS card first, press NAVIGATION BUTTON to select one of the following function." That is the entire instructions for Basic Play. Note that your USB flash drive is called a USB data traveler, not a flash drive.
I loaded my pictures on a Sony MemoryStick and inserted it into the frame, but it would not read them. I then took the same MemoryStick, put it in my MemoryStick reader (that plugs into a USB port and reads the MemoryStick as a flash drive), then plugged the reader into the USB port on the frame. The pictures read fine. I reversed the process and verified that the frame was unable to read the MemoryStick in the MemoryStick port (i.e. the unit had a defective card reader).
Lastly, the digital picture resolution is low, making straight lines on photos look jagged.
I am glad that Amazon has an easy Return policy. I am disappointed in many aspects of this unit. Poor quality workmanship, poor documentation, poor picture.
