Digital camera reviews of Coby DP-812 8.5-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame with MP3 Player

Digital camera Review: KJ
Summary: 1 Stars

I was very disappointed with this product. Pictures were extremely pixelated. Some of the reviews I read said that pictures need to be reformatted for widescreen frames, but I'm not willing to take the time to do that (not sure if that was even the issue....)
I returned this frame the same day I received it. I wouldn't pay $20 for this frame, let alone $100. Ended up purchasing a PanDigital that plays MP3 tracks and displays video and pictures. I love it.

Digital camera Review: Left Out
Summary: 3 Stars

Coby DP-812 8.5 inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame with MP3 Player. Picture and appearance of frame are neat when ordered, but appearance is cheaper than expected. Image is not as good as I wanted but you get what you pay for, and the price was good for what I got. Did not receive, nor have we received the Photo Shop software copuon promised to be emailed after order was complete and we are being told we do not know what it was, or is; so buyer beware.

Digital camera Review: NOT WHAT I ORDERED
Summary: 3 Stars

When I placed this order is stated that it came with a free memory card...IT DIDN'T! I had to go out and spend the additional $20.00 to get a memory card. One of the reasons I ordered was that if it included the memory card for the price it would have been a good deal. The way it turned out I don't think it was that great of a deal, plus I gave it as a gift and then since it did not have the free memory card I felt bad as I had told them it came with one. Then I went and purchased the card for them as to not be lying to them!!!

Digital camera Review: Poor quality
Summary: 1 Stars

Very very poor picture quality. Looks worse then the orgional 1 mega pixle cameras. Also advertisment offered free Memory card with purchase, but nothing showed up.
Very disapointed.

Digital camera Review: Printed out return label within 10 minutes of opening
Summary: 2 Stars

I ordered this frame as a gift for my mom for the Christmas. I planned on buying multiple memory cards and send her an updated card of pictures every month or so.

I opened it and plugged it in...

Immediate Problem 1) The screen is WIDE (16:9) which is the new thing for HDTVs, but not for photos... Unless you have a widescreen camera (who has that) or format each picture to fit the width, you have useless black bars on the side - and it looked awful.

Immediate Problem 2) The speakers were emitting a buzzing noise that did not change based upon the volume setting on the remote or the mechanical dial. It could be because it was left outside by UPS and its cold in Albuquerque, but still unacceptable.

Immediate Problem 3) The plastic frames were cheesy and wouldn't match anything in my moms house.

Immediate Problem 4) The quality of the pictures were awful. Who needs a brand new 8MP camera if you are going ot view them on here.

I bought this on a whim because of the price. But within 10 minutes of opening I printed out a return label and wrote this review. The only reason it got 2 star (instead of one) is you get what you pay for.

Do your research before you buy. Thankfully Amazon has free shipping for returns. I will be buying a different (4:3) digital frame.
