Disappointment

2008-06-07
This pictures take to long to load up and the battery life is short. I should have returned them right away. Its gathering dust on the table. I'm a picture buff and take alot of photos, my friends loose interest by the time the photos load up. There is no slide show mode.

originally dissapointed / happy now

I was originally dissapointed with this item after waiting several weeks for it to get in stock then recieving it and finding out the original one recieved was defective and saw all SD cards as "write protected" however I must commend amazon.com for standing behind thier items! I informed them of the problem and they shipped me out a replacement even before I had shipped the defective one back to them. Kudo's [...] ! interesting note, photoco inc who I had also contacted via email also was willing to replace the unit, I informed them that amazon wasalready replacing it. With my new one I am quite satisfied with the picture quality and the other features of this item
Thanks

Forget It

Cheap look and feel. Low quality pictures even for a low res screen. Main splash screen practically unreadable. Tools Awkward to use . Slow to display pics. Price way too high for product.

Disappointing

2007-12-29
I am very disappointed with this.
It seems there are dozens of companies making digital photo frames, but no one making the small pocket version that I need. This seemed to be the only one so I bought it.
It is very slow, taking a full eight seconds for each image to come up. It does not read ahead to the next image at all. Still, since it is the only choice available I could live with being very slow. What I can't live with is the battery life of 10 to 15 minutes. At first I thought I had gotten bad batteries when it faded while my wife was learning to operate it when she opened it at Christmas. But the next day it ran out again when she was showing her baby pictures to a group of co-workers. It was the very first time she had shown it to anyone and couldn't have been more than 10 minutes total running time on new batteries. We bought batteries again, a different kind this time from a different source and got the same results.
I wish I had my money back.

Not as good as the Koday Easyshare

2007-06-14
This product was not as good as the Kodak easyshare viewer. The battery life was very poor. The pictures were slow to come up on the screen. This product was returned and I bought the Kodak, which was 100 times better. It also came with a case.

Clearest Pictures Ever!!!! Great Gift!

2007-03-30
My husband is away (military) and I was looking for the perfect, small but clear, pictures for him. I didn't care about the frame, only the small white digital system. I was hesitant, as my MIL has a digital keychain and the picture quality is horrible. I was pleasantly surprised at the picture quality and the ease of both looking at pictures already on an SD card and transferring pictures from the computer. I love that I can use either batteries or the included plug. Everything was soooo easy that I did not even need to read the instructions to begin. I also purchased the small case to put this in for travel as the album is just an added extra for later. This is the best investment for anyone looking for something very small and portable. Perfect to send a military loved one lots of pictures to keep them involved no matter how far away they are! Then, when he comes home, it's great for a portable album to carry anywhere.

Great gift for Grandparent, but budget for a memory stick

2007-01-10
We originally were very interested in getting the keychain, but were turned off by the following:
1. The poor reviews of the display quality
2. The small screen size
3. How the keys would damage the keychain over time

We decided to buy the digital photo album and it came within days of ordering. We loaded the pictures before giving it to my son's grandmother.
We are happy with the following:
1. Picture quality
2. The screen is larger
3. The price of the case was reasonable less than $10.
4. It is easy to load photos and simply to use, good features when giving it to people who are NOT very handy with electronics.

We spent $20 more to buy this item, it seems so reasonable compared to the keychain. What they don't specifically tell you is that this unit comes with NO memory. The extra $20 we spent over the keychain ends up being about $45 more when you have to factor in buying a memory stick. I was wondering why the keychain tells you how many picture it can hold and this one doesn't.

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

PC Magazine Guide to Digital Photography

Editorial Reviews from Book News, Inc.
A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography. The Grottas provide reality checks on such issues as whether the number of megapixels really matter, and tips on camera selection, use, and e-mailing and organizing photos. The handbook includes color and b&w images, a glossary, and sidebars and Web links for further technical details.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
