Digital camera reviews of Kodak EasyShare SV-710 7-Inch Digital Picture Frame
Digital camera Review: 16:9?? WHY? Who crops photos to 16:9??
Summary: 4 Stars
I just got this digital picture frame (SV-710) for xmas and had it out of the box for about 2 hours. i set it up in about 10 minutes and it works fine. the remote is very nice. the image quality is alright. i kinda expected more/smaller pixels in the screen than what it uses. the pixels are too big so if you are close to the frame, you see everything is composed of little squares. i noticed this same problem on other frames in every store i saw them displayed though, so i guess manufacturers just use cheap screens with less detailed pixels for photo frames.
anyway, the screen is described as " 7 inch diagonal " or 16:9. Why?
this isn't a tv or a movie screen. it is a means of displaying PHOTOGRAPHS. Photos are 4x6 or 5x7, etc. and digitals are also described in resolutions of 640x480, or whatever. so why would you offer a picture frame and label it's size in anything other it's length by width dimensions in inches or pixel resolution?????
but this isn't limited to Kodak though. market wide, most other digital picture frames are labelled this same way. treated as a television would be treated, INSTEAD OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY STANDARD OF MEASURING THE IMAGE DIMENSIONS!
so now i have to recrop any picture i want on this (or any digital picture frame) to some weird special 16:9 aspect ratio. so lets say i take a picture of a dog sitting up. if i want to print out that picture to put into a normal picture frame AND display it on a digital frame, i need to crop it TWICE. once for the normal frame, and once for the digital. *****If you don't recrop the images to specially fit this stupid 16:9 standard, then the frames just cut off the bottom of your images*****
as dumb as this mistake is, i can understand new businesses messing this up and thinking "well its kinda like a tv so we'll just treat it like a tv" that would not be a valid excuse, but at least i could understand how it could happen. But kodak isn't new to photography. if you're gonna tell me that kodak has no idea how to frame a photograph, then what have they been doing for the last 115 years? i give the item 4 stars because besides the 16:9, it is a a nice looking device that does what it is supposed to and has no other faults that i'm aware of.
but i give the whole digital picture frame industry 0 stars! take that!
