Digital camera reviews of Philips 7-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black)
Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
Gave this product to my wife as a Mother's day present.....she loves it. Very easy to use and looks great.
Digital camera Review: Great to gift also!
Summary: 5 Stars
They are many products like this in the market, but when it comes to Philiphs (The Dutch Electronic Giant) you are satisfied on the back of your mind that you cannot go wrong. The first look is very immpressive, pixels are clear and most of all it is very user friendly. I gifted it to one of my friend who just got recently married was full of praise for this product. I would definitly recommend it to my friends and family.
Digital camera Review: Horrible. If only I had read the reviews...
Summary: 1 Stars
Horrible. If only I had read the reviews...I would never have purchased this item.
Let me start by saying I work in technology, so I know what quality and simplicity should look like. I was hoping for a fair quality, simple to use picture frame to give to a moderately computer savvy relative for Xmas.
Reasons not to buy this:
-Display quality is poor:
Mine came with several pixels dead, right out of the box.
-Navigation is awful:
The buttons are on the back, and you have to look at the front to see the menus as they change. You end up feeling around back there...its not good.
-On Board Memory is useless:
It contains sample photos that cannot be deleted (the infamous baby from other reviews) and which continually display along with your photos in the slideshow.
-Widescreen Display is awful:
If you are scanning old 4:3 aspect ratio family pictures into this 16:9 ratio frame, you get two choices: diplay them with black bars to the sides or stretch and distort them. Neither is terribly attractive.
After two hours of scan then crop of the family photos, I put this thing back in the box, and bought one of the kodak easyshare frames.
In summary, I would not recommend this device to anyone who is not an expert at manipulating photos, and even then be ready for the time commitment.
Update: The kodak easy share frame is working out great! Highly recommended as an alternative.

Digital camera Review: If I could award minus stars
Summary: 1 Stars
After I unpacked the frame I tried unsuccessfully to load photos. I called Philips support and was told that my jpg's couldn't be loaded and that only jpeg's could be loaded. The agent suggested that I download a free program that changes jpg's to jpeg's and I did so. I then changed some of my photos to the jpeg format. Then I retried to load them into the frame and once again the process failed I called Philips support once more and explained what I had done. They told me that the frame was broken and that I should send it back but they refused to pay for the postage. I returned the frame to Amazon (free postage there).Digital camera Review: It sucks!

Ordinary Display screen
No remote control
Stiff buttons (difficult to locate)
No worth spending money on it.
