Digital camera reviews of Coby DP-758 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame
Digital camera Review: A little disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
When I bought this I thought it would be a lot nicer than it was. The "plastic" seems very cheap and it says in the directions you can use a USB cable provided to download pictures however this model doesnt include a USB cable.It is a special size so you have to order it from them. Also I was under the impression that you could download photos and the frame would hold them but you have to leave in your memory card from your camera. Not very convinient.I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.Digital camera Review: A little disappointed...

I have purchased two digital photo frames recently. This was one of the two. This Coby frame is a little more difficult to operate and the photos are not very clear. However, this frame was alot less expensive. So I guess you get what you pay for.Digital camera Review: Adequate but quirky

I'm not a videophile, and I've only used it for three days, so I really have no comment about the aspect ratios or picture quality which frankly seems just fine to me. My two biggest beefs though were the slideshow feature and the USB port.
1) The slideshow does not have a random viewing feature. For some strange reason, it plays the photos only in the order in which the photos were tranferred to the SD card, irrespective of even the filenames. Since I had originally loaded the photos from a folder on my computer that listed the photos in alphabetical filename order, that's precicely the order I was forced to view the photos on the frame. The fix to this was rather cumbersome. I had to physically rename all the photos on my computer with random letters and numbers, erase the SD card and then re-transfer the files back onto the card with the new names. Now they play in random order, but only in the same "random" order in which I renamed the files. I'll have to repeat the process any time I add new photos to the card.
2) When I tried to do the above by connecting the unit directly to the computer via the USB port, I discovered that out of the dozens of USB cords I own, I do not have a single cord with USB A type plugs on both ends. Come to think of it, of all of the hundreds of gadgets I own, I don't think a single one of them has a USB type A port socket - it's always either a type B, mini A or mini B. I've only ever seen type A ports on computers, so all of my cables are type A on the end the plugs into the computer, and another type that plugs into the gadget. I was surprised and disappointed that Coby did not include a simple and inexpensive USB cord with the unit.
Digital camera Review: Average digital frame.

Got this as a present for my mom. She loved it. I didn't need any big features because my mom is technology handicapped so it works well for someone like her.Digital camera Review: Awesome!

I am currently deployed in Afghanistan with the Army, and I bought this picture frame for my 3 year old daughter back at home. I took a whole bunch of pictures of myself and some of the sites here, and sent the whole thing to her. She loved it! She comments about the pictures all the time when I talk to her on the phone, and it's the first thing she shows people when they go in her room.
