Digital camera reviews of Philips 6.5-Inch Digital Picture Frame (Clear) w/3 Additional Colored Frames
Digital camera Review: Excellent Display
Summary: 4 Stars
I just received this as a birthday present, and am very happy with the display. I had seen some Digital Photo frames during Black Friday sales, but all of them had very lousy displays with images that looked very pixelated. This one looks great. The 720x480 resolution is very suitable, and the 6.5" diagonal size is perfect for a desktop frame, although it's a bit small if you wanted to hang it on the wall.
There are two areas for improvement. First is in Mac support. I'm a Mac user, and while it shows up on the desktop as a USB drive allowing pictures to be dragged and dropped to it, it would be nice to see some iPhoto integration. Specifically, I'd like to see a custom export plugin where I simply select photos or an album in iPhoto, and then it would automatically scale them down to 720x480 and copy them onto the internal storage of the frame. The documentation doesn't even make mention of Mac support at all, they should at least state that it can be used with a Mac and document the alternatives for getting your pictures displayed, even if they don't provide any software.
Secondly, the controls on the frame itself are a bit awkward. I think some work with some human-computer interaction experts coud have improved the interface. I was able to accomplish what I needed to do, but there were definite areas for improvemnt.
With the real differentiator these days being the display quality, I would definitely recommend this product to others that I've looked at. The Mac support and frame controls are a minor inconvenience, at best.
Digital camera Review: Excellent LCD Frame
Summary: 5 Stars
A well made product that does the job. Battery life is less than expected, but we normally leave this plugged in anyhow. Crisp and colorful prints, several options, numerous flash memory card types accepted. All I expected.Digital camera Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Plug and Play product. Very simple to operate. Excellent choice for my grandmother. It would start and stop every day at specific hours so she does not even need to switch it off or on every day.
Excellent display and colors. I guess now I would have liked a bigger one but obviously it is a matter of price. The product itself is great.
Digital camera Review: Excellent photo quality compared to other Digital Photo Frames I tested
Summary: 4 Stars
Philips has done a very good job with displaying high quality photos with this frame.
I would have given the product a 5 but the directions and controls in the back of the frame were a little confusing at first.
I bought this as a gift for my Mother who is 78 yrs old. She really enjoys it. She says it is definately better than a film photo album...much easier to show off your photos.
I would definately recommend this product to others. My wife and I are looking at purchasing s Philips 8x10 frame for ourselves.
Digital camera Review: Excellent quality and easy to set up
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading many reviews here of digital picture frames, I settled on this one based on the excellent reviews. The reviews were correct: this has very good picture quality and is easy to set up. It's worth the money to get a good quality digital frame like this one. Don't go for the $50 frame at Wal-mart (which is what I first considered). I bought it as an anniversary present for my husband and loaded it up with pictures from our wedding (which I had to scan in since we were married before the days of digital cameras). I also put in some pictures of our Hawaii vacation and pets. Even the internal memory holds a lot of pictures but if you use a memory stick, you can put a huge number of pictures on it. My husband enjoys leaving it sitting on the dining room table and watching the slide show on it while he eats.
