Coby DP 758 7 Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame

Customer Reviews

OK frame for the price

This picture frame is decent for the price. You have to buy a memory card for it to work, and uploading takes a little time and patience, but once it's up and running, it's OK.

Coby DP-758 - basic photo frame

2008-05-25
Purchased as a present for mothers day, but found the product lacked quality in sizing photos and limited to photos only. I own a Curtis brand photo frame which is far superior to this one. A very basic product.

I have never had a COBY item work well, so I should have been prepared for this. None of the pictures from my digital camera work on this. I can use an old digital camera to take low res pictures and put it on this screen, but anything over 2 megapixel confuses the processor and comes out scrambled. Based on this product and a COBY CD player and a few other items I have owned from these guys I am done. Never again to buy from them.

Wish I would have gotten the Kodak

Its okay. Its just a cheap product and thats what you are paying for. LCD is fuzzy. Colors are kind of weak. Construction is kinda cheap. Wish I would have gotten the Kodak. ITs not all jeers but I am just kinda disappointed. However this is a prime example of getting what you pay for.

Horrible picture quality!

I bought this last January--I am very disappointed in it. Picture quality very bad--grainy and out of focus

Awesome!

I am currently deployed in Afghanistan with the Army, and I bought this picture frame for my 3 year old daughter back at home. I took a whole bunch of pictures of myself and some of the sites here, and sent the whole thing to her. She loved it! She comments about the pictures all the time when I talk to her on the phone, and it's the first thing she shows people when they go in her room.

Great present for grandparents!

We bought this present for my parents, who now have a new granddaughter an ocean away. What a great way for them to have up-to-date pictures - we just send them new versions on the scan disk memory card, they plug it in and away they go! It is defintately easy to use for even "older" generations who are not computer savy! The screen is big enough to see pictures across the living room and bright enough to be seen in the day time. The dark frame looks very elegant and compliments dark wood furniture very well. All in all, a great buy!

It's good except that you have to keep your memory card in it to view the pictures

Good value for the price

I had been wanting a digital frame for over a year, but couldn't justify over $100. I was thrilled to see this one for $60 and have been very pleased with the setup and picture quality.

Widescreen is more trouble

2008-06-04
The product seems nice. The quality of the frame was not that great. It was a little rough around the inside of them frame where it sould have been smooth, but not that noticable. It was pretty ease to use. But if you want your picture to be in widescreen then you have to jump through some hoops. I had to get an image program from the web and resize the images. Then you have to deal with some images beting stretched. You don't have to do this but if you don't all the images will not be widescreen and will have black on the sides of the picture and it looks kind of cheap. The instruction manual or the manufactures web site had nothing about resiging images.

	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."

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
