Customer Reviews

Love it

Works like a charm. Picture is good quality. Frame looks a little cheap. (clear plastic) Over all we are happy with the purchase and would recomend to a friend.

JUST what I wanted (and am ordering more!)

Ordered for my elderly mother who can't see well and is not techno-savvy. Was able to project and navigate (thanks to the remote) onto her 21" TV for better viewing from across the room . 2 "Hot Spots" there (as referenced in other review), but NOT a concern...I get them, TOO (thank goodness no one has sent ME back!) Likewise on the acrylic (SMALL) crack in plastic. Big deal.

A GREAT value for the $$ that I've not found in any other model. Sleek, lightweight, easily transported, and simple to use. Echo concerns re: SR card, but I also have older CFs which seem to work better. Fantastic gift idea.

great product for the value

Nice frame ...

You'll be quite pleased with this frame UNLESS you're counting on listening to music during the slideshow. The music reproduction is pretty lousy. The digital photos come through very nicely, especially in subdued room lighting. Another "pro" -- the description doesn't make this clear -- you can use a large capacity memory card in the frame. I have a 2GB card with several hundred European-vacation photos in it now. By the way, the instant-on feature means that the slideshow will start automatically when the power comes back on after a power failure -- says the voice of experience!

Good frame at the price

I bought this for my ladyfriend, who seems to be quite happy with it. Good picture, and a remote control. A bit complicated to set up, but still very manageable. At this price range, this seems to be one of the better deals...

Perfect image presentation.....

The frame has good resolution for the price, the only problem I have is Ritz slow shipping and I don't care service. Buy it now @ KDS group for the same price and free 2-day shipping.

Awesome Product! Wow...Love IT!!

Bought one for my real estate business, and have it on during open houses, with photos of my client's homes. I get tons of compliments on the frame, and picture quality. More people are interested in the frame, than in the home. So easy to use that I will definitely buy one for my mom and auntie for Mother's Day. I called Portable USA w/a question, and the English Lad who helped me, was soooo super nice...best customer service I've had in years. A++++++++++ Love, Love, Love this frame!!

Great picture frame, nice features

I gave this a birthday present to my wife loaded with family photos we scanned in. She loved it. Product has nice slide show features and the memory card works with my HP printer.

Hot pixels. Beware.

	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."

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
