Digital camera reviews of Axion AXN-9702 7-Inch Widescreen LCD Digital Picture Frame with Clock, Calendar and Alarm
Digital camera Review: Media Management?
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't compare to other Digital Frames, but I bought this one as it was a good deal for playing pictures and music. I haven't experienced (or at least noticed) the resolution gripes that others have mentioned.
I do rather wish that the software/firmware that handles the photos and mp3s would be a little more flexible. You can choose a folder of photos to repeat, but there is no randomize function. When you choose to play music with the photos, it always starts from the same track - controls only handle which photos will be displayed in this mode. You can select music tracks if you set it to music playback only, but this product could do so much more with an upgrade tweak that could randomize pictures and music.
Digital camera Review: Neat DPF with Clock and Alarm Functions
Summary: 5 Stars
Pleasantly surprised with this product. The menu is easy to use with good quality display. I love the Clock and Alarm functions. Have replaced my alarm clock with this digital frame. It looks nice next to my bed. I wish it would have a video function, however, I am very happy with this product and would recommend to others looking to buy a simple and easy to use frame.Digital camera Review: Nice DPF
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this for my wife for her Birthday just before Xmas and she bought me (unknown to myself) one that's more than twice the price for Xmas. So I had the chance to compare. Conclusion is that it's not worth paying twice the price, you don't get any better quality. My wife is delighted with the Axion display. You should resize the pics to optimise them for the frame resolution though (640x480) since I think the problems the other users have had is that the frame probably doesn't do such a good job at downsizing. Microsoft have a utility to right click a group of files in explorer and it quickly duplicates them at the appropriate resolution. Just google for "Microsoft Powertoys" and download the image resizer from the webpage. Advantage of doing this is the files drop from around 2mB in size to more like 80kB so you can fit tons of pics on a small cheap SD card. Only downside for me is the widescreen aspect ratio of the frame. Natural aspect ratio of photographs is narrower than widescreen, so there's always unused area at the sides of the pictures. Would be OK if it played video files, but it doesn't. Not a big gripe considering how cheap the frame is though. Don't forget, you need a memory card! The frame has no memory built in.
Digital camera Review: Nice Low Price Digital Picture Frame - Recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
The Axion 7" Digital Picture Frame is a real deal if you consider what you are getting for the money:
* Good Size Display
* Fairly Clear Display
* MP3 Support (works well!)
* Support For USB Thumb Drive
* Support For SD/MS/MMC/xD Cards
* Clock/Calendar/Alarm
* Remote Control
The unit worked right out of the box and I didn't even have to read the directions to get most of the functions working.
We are using this in our candle shop to display pictures of custom items that we do not want stock due to space restrictions. So far we are very happy with the performance and quality.
