Digital camera reviews of Ceiva Digital Photo Receiver Model LF2000
Digital camera Review: Better with a small amount of Computer Savvy
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two as Mother's day gifts. One, sent directly to my mother, worked fine. My father was able to set up the account and give me access to update it with photos of the grandchild with ease. The other was shipped to me and the first one had a bad phone jack which prevented it from dialing in for updates. Amazon was great about getting me another (Ceiva, on the other hand, was not very helpful in helping me to troubleshoot the problem). The second unit worked great after some initial problems getting through to the Ceiva server the first time to transmit the profile information to the frame (kept getting an "Internet Congestion" message), but, having given it to my wife's grandmother, she still occasionally has problems receiving our updates. I believe these are operator errors, but I can't be sure, since she lives 1500 miles away and I cannot actually see the unit anymore. The recent addition of daily weather reports has been very well received and soon the picture capacity is expanding from 10 to 20, so that will make it even better.Overall, I think it is one of the best consumer uses of the web yet. I can't wait until we can effortlessly transfer video and sound through a similar means.
Digital camera Review: Bought 4, only the first one worked
Summary: 1 Stars
I have attempted to get 4 Cieva frames working. The first one for my mother-in-law worked great. The second, for my mother was DOA - we sent it back. The third for my Dad, required tech support, that was useless, we waited until I visited and the thing was dead at that time. The forth for my Mom is still in the box, she is afraid to plug it in. This is a nice technology in concept. In practice, it is only for techies. I'd advise finding a better gift - or use paper prints. There is less frustration and cost involved.Digital camera Review: Brilliant Idea
Summary: 4 Stars
One of those rare products that truthfully does what it says, and says what it does. I purchased one for both my in-laws and my parents so they can watch our twins grow, and they are thrilled with the device. Low-tech interface requires little of them to set it up, so there is no techno-phobia concerns. Prior to giving them as Christmas gifts I played with them for a while myself. Now I'm back to order a 3rd unit for myself!Digital camera Review: Broken Frame
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this frame for my 75 year old mother in law in May of 2002. Since then I have had four A/C adapters replaced for the frame, and now the frame has stopped dialing. When I called Ceiva I was told it normally costs $100.00 to repair or replace, but if I act today it will only cost me $65.00. This after waiting one hour and ten minutes on hold. If there is one thing I hate, it is to forced into making a decision on the spot by pushy phone salesman. I told the woman to cancel my membership. To cancel the membership requires a $10.00 canellation fee and you only receive 50 percent of your balance. It could be a great product if it were a little more stable, or if it worked at all. Needless to say anyone who purchases a Ceiva frame be prepared for constant problems and poor customer service.Digital camera Review: CEIVA Digital Photo Receiver
Summary: 1 Stars
My 84-year-old mother received one of these for Christmas last year. From the very first, it had problems. It has been non-functional now for at least 4 months. It was a wonderful idea for her because her grandkids could send her pictures of her great-grandchildren that she doesn't get to see very often. However, it was very disappointing for her when it quit working.
