Digital camera reviews of Philips 7-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black)
Digital camera Review: Not too good . . .
Summary: 2 Stars
The picture quality is OK, nothing to write home about. I bought this model mainly because of the sentence from the product description here at Amazon that says it has three timers to turn it on and off. Not only does it only have one timer (no weekend timer like advertised) but that timer initially would not work. Turned out after much frustration that and time that the english version of the manual has a translation error. Rather than simply saying "turn on" or "turn off" the settings say "start dim" or "end dim." And the meaning of those prhases are opposite their normal meaning. The one timer included in the settings does work though, but I would have preferred separate weekday and weekend timers as advertised.
One thing everyone should know about all digital frames is that you should resize all your pictures to the frame's native resolution - this one is 480x234. I used a free photo editing software called faststone - and not only does resizing make your pics fit the frame, but it drastically reduces the size. I fit 4000 resized pics onto a 2GB SD card and it barely used 500 MB. Just be careful not to replace your full size images. Copy all your pics to another directory and then resize them. As far as this frame goes, I will keep it but I wouldn't recommend it. I think it is over-priced.
Digital camera Review: Not worth
Summary: 1 Stars
The resolution is very low and its not worth the price. The digital frame of another brand which cost me less than this gives better resolution than this one. Not recommended.
Digital camera Review: OK, but colors are off and control is difficult
Summary: 2 Stars
The 16:9 ratio is to long for this sort of product. Photos are seldom in that format. The controls (setup and menu) were difficult to use. The colors were slightly off (too yellow). A shuffle mode on the slide show would be an improvement.
On the positive side are good brightness, OK picrure quality and nice finish.
Digital camera Review: OK....but distorts the photo a lil bit.......
Summary: 4 Stars
I got it for $50 and for this price it is an OK product......I didnt realize before buying it that the screen has a higher length:height ratio resulting in a little bit distorted image. In order to fit the screen size image is compressed (in height) thus you tend to look fatter...on this frame.......otherwise it is a good product.....cant say much since hvn't used it for long......Digital camera Review: Ok but not great.
Summary: 3 Stars
A few things stopped this one from being great.
1. I would have been nice to be able to put more pictures on the frame and not have to use any memory card.
2. The picture of the baby could not be removed from the frame memory. It kept giving the message "Operation failed."
3. A lot of prep work required for pictures to look good in the frame.
I did appreciate that when the frame is turned the picture turns with it.
