Digital camera reviews of Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Clear) w/3 Additional Colored Frames
Digital camera Review: Crisp, bright pictures - Easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Philips Digital Picture Frame for my wife this Christmas. She loves it. She has brought over two sets of different photos already. It was especially nice to take the photos we had just take of the tree and gift opening and then have them displayed all week on the frame. Now we have pictures from the New Year's party we went to.
Big hit with everyone. No problem see the images. They are bright, sharp and easy to see from all angles. Frame can be programmed to go blank after certain hours of the night.
Digital camera Review: Customer Service Warning
Summary: 2 Stars
Can't really rate the frame because it was defective out of the box. Saw a couple of pictures of mine on it before it went completely and it has good resolution. However, I will warn you about Customer Service at Philips, or rather more acurately, the lack thereof. If you have problems, do not, repeat, do not call Philips for help (unless you speak Hindee, they still would know nothing about the product, but you could probably have nice chat about something) and do not send it to them for exchange. Get help, refund, exchange only from Amazon for this one. Trust me.Digital camera Review: Definitely beats all digital frames in its class.
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a decent amount of research before purchasing this item. Its not often that you see a digital frame at the 6-7 inch size display 800 by 600 resolution, so that was definitely the frame's selling point for me. However, its price range detracted me a little from purchasing right off the bat.
After some research on digital frames, the verdict came down to two frames which i thought would make a good comparison depending on feature set, price range, and amount of positive/negative reviews. One frame was this philips 6.5 inch frame, and the other was the kodak 8-inch non-wifi SV811 frame. I chose the philips one, and stand by it!
Pros:
- the frame was made for pictures and images, and they look fantastic compared with other frames my family/friends, and i have. I've compared the frame's visual screen with the kodak's sv811, western digital frames, and pandigital frames, and the philips frame is by far the most visually amazing.
- It comes with 4 interchangeable frames you can magnetically latch on and off. This is really cool, because i bought several of these frames for my family, and now we can all uniquely change the frame accordingly to what color we feel like at the moment =)
- the philips frame comes in different osd languages, which is pretty important to me, since my parents have trouble speaking english and would definitely prefer playing with something that has there own language.
Con's:
- the only gripe i have with this frame is that, it only supports images... no video media of any sort.
Despite the video drawback, I dont really see anything else as a negative for this frame besides maybe its high premium (price). The screen is REALLY amazing compared with other frames, i cant stop raving about how amazing it looks especially when you sit it with other frames.
Digital camera Review: Didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
My husband purchased this digital picture frame for me. After receiving it, it worked the first few times. But then quit working all together. I had to contact Philips, because it was after the 30 days. I had to pay for the shipping the unit back to Philips. Philips then sent me back another unit, that didn't work! I have to again pay the shipping back to Philips. I'm sure that the third unit I receive won't work either. I am so mad that we have spent all this money on soemthing that doesn't even work!
The few tiems that the first unit worked the picture was great and we were considering buying several for gifts. I wouldn't reccomend this to anyone. The lack of customer service is so frustrating. I used this unit a few times in September and it's now almost December. We bought this to show off pictures from a vacation without having to drag along the laptop. I've been having to use my lap top this whole time. I don't foresee this problem being resloved so now we're out a few hundred dollars.
Digital camera Review: Digital Frame gift
Summary: 4 Stars
Very good quality picture and options. Easy to use with by loading memory card from camera direct to frame and saving pictures.
Intructions not vey good anywhere that I could find regarding loading saved picures from my picture albums for my Sony digital camera.
