Digital camera reviews of Portable USA PU-5P 5.6-Inch Digital Picture Frame
Digital camera Review: Exceeds expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't let the "generic" brand name dissuade you from trying this product. While the resolution may not meet the standard set by a $200 digital frame, it is a great value. The small (5.6-inch) size is an advantage for this resolution, as it does not look the least bit blocky. I can vouch for the quality of the downsampling algorithm -- everything from tiny clip art to over >1MB photos is rendered in a logical and aesthetically pleasing fashion. Images are bright and colorful, and the interface can be configured to require nothing more than turning on the switch. The various cards and USB flash drives are automatically searched for all graphics and MP3s, ignoring other data (useful for figuring out what you might have put on such-and-such a thumb drive). Also, the random mode for the 14 possible slide transitions makes for a snazzy touch. For more complicated file and video/music functions, one can actually refer to the manual, unlike many "value" electronics that come with poorly translated and confusing instructions.
All in all, this is a very good product and an excellent bargain, providing many quality features that one would not typically expect at this price point. It even manages to sit on a desk without too much wobbling. Well done!
Digital camera Review: Good bang for your buck
Summary: 4 Stars
While the image looks pizelated when you stand close to it, and the lack of internal memory forces you to give up one of your SD cards, the overall product is very solid and it is definitely a good bang for your buck considering its one of the cheaper digital picture frames. I am overall satisfied with my purchase of it.Digital camera Review: Good product for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
Good solid product, with excellent picture quality. The features are decent but the system menu is a bit of a chore to navigate through. You will get what you paid for. If you are expecting a photo equivalent picture frame then look elsewhere.Digital camera Review: Horrible Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Horrible. This thing had a poor resolution, poor build quality, poor interfaces with the memory media, and poor connection to the AC adapter. I have nothing good to say about it. I returned it. If you are trying to save money, just dont buy anything, because this one is like throwing your money away.Digital camera Review: Inferior product but A GREAT COMPANY !
Summary: 2 Stars
Portable, USA manufactures this product. The digital frame is small and is not very sharp. After 2 weeks the unit failed. Using the Internet, I located the company's phone number and called to ask what I should do. I also said the frame was too small and its design made it unstable as it sat on the table.
Immediately, the company suggested that I return it, and they then recommended a larger digital frame that would also be more brilliant and sharper. For only $65 additional dollars they would send the largher frame upon reciept of my smaller defective product. This, they stated, would again make me a happy first-time user.
The new 10 inch frame is so much better. It also has a remote control and the frame sits on the table top in a stable manner.
Go with the larger frame, even if this is your first purchase of a digital frame. What an enjoyable way to have friends see the family photos when visiting. The photos are clear, even from across the room.
Portable, USA (as a company) was very helpful. A good choice.
