A disappointment

2008-09-16
I'm reviewing the second unit I've had. I returned the first one because of static on the display, but the second one exhibits the same problem, and other reviewers have reported it, too. Summary: Static on the screen, EXTREMELY slow performance, doesn't show AVIs at all, can't play MP3s while viewing photos. It's a barely-adequate display for JPGs. The only reason I'm not returning it (again!) is that it's fine to leave on my desk at work, and cheap enough that I don't worry about it.

Buy the Philips

2008-02-16
I purchased this Coby product based strictly on the price point and was once again reminded of the old adage, "You get what you pay for." The screen resolution was terrible. After reading product reviews and looking at demo models at various brick&mortar stores, I purchased a Philips 7" frame. The pictures are sharp and I love the 4:3 aspect. I use Picasa to reduce my files to 800x600 size and they appear fanatstic on the frame.

I'm happy with the picture frame but Amazon ripped me off! When I ordered, a promotional offer included a one gig memory card free with the purchase. I got the frame but no card. I have complained by email and by talking to customer service and was promised at least an email response but none came. They simply ignored me.

Hit or miss - depending what you're looking for

The design and look of this picture frame is very nice. However, everything goes sour when you turn it on. The picture quality is so-so, but the limit of 500 pictures is really weak. The problem of aspect ratio is also an issue, but it's ok if you don't mind the black bars on the sides. I decided to return mine to Amazon because of the 500 photo limit. I really need more pictures to be able to be shown. My SD card can fit over 1500 on 256MB. It's a shame, I liked the sleek design of the frame.

Coby DP-767 7 inch frame - don't buy

I could not make this frame to show pictures with the correct aspect ratio - given that I wanted to use the entire screen. The original 4x3 pictures would show either in the center of the screen (with black stripes on left and right), or you can switch to the widescreen mode - then everyone looks fatty. I thought that zoom function would do the trick - no way. In the 4x3 mode the left and right stripes are there despite of the zoom. I tried to resize/crop images on my PC hoping to make it work - no way. Tried resizing/cropping to 480x270 (which is 16x9) or to the frame's native resolution of 480x239. It would show then black stripes on the top and the bottom, and the picture would still be distorted. I guess it is all really a firmware problem, but could not find any updates on Coby's website (they say in the manual that occasionally they have firmware updates).
After a while another problem popped up - the frame started randomly showing snowy lines across images. I already had enough of trouble with it. Returned as defective.
Haven't even tried multimedia features.

Settings Don't Keep if powered off

2008-01-09
This was a gift for my mother, who is not particular adept when it comes to technology. If this item is powered off, the settings which had been set are all lost and the whole thing has to be re-programmed again. This isn't the easiest task to do each time. I guess leaving it on all the time is an option, but there are times when she will be gone for a week or more and doesn't want to leave things running while away. Wish this would have been more visible when purchased.

	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.

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
