Amazing. This is a great buy just for the ease of looking over my pictures without having to look at them with the tiny LCD screen on the back of the camera or having to download everything on the computer first. Most of all, this is ideal for when we have friends and family over. I have had many comments about my frame.

Simply insert your memory card into the slot, turn on the display and sit back and enjoy your pictures. The screen is bright and colorful. I like that you can not only look at your images, but you can also watch videos and listen to music. I like putting music to my videos or images.

Pros
- Nice way to show off pictures
- Accepts multiple memory cards
- Can put slideshow to sound
- Internal memory, so you do not need to tie up your memory card

Cons
- No issues so far =]

I own the 8" model but they also make a 7".
Opteka 7" Digital Picture Frame with 128mb Built-In Memory - Plays MP3 and Video

I purchased this for my husband. He loaded many photos onto the memory card and felt it was easy to load the pictures; Just like loading any other memory card. It performs well and has great picture quality. It is so wonderful watching long-ago taken photos on the digital frame using the slide show feature. I will definitely buy this frame again. I plan on buying another one for Christmas.

I purchased this as a gift for my mother who has no knowledge of computers or electronic gizmos and wishes to have family photos which today are mostly digital.

After a great deal of research checking out all reviews I could find, I decided to go with this unit rather than the others offered so far.

The unit itself is not bad at all. Picture quality to me was fine and the ability to watch camera movie clips with sound was a major plus.

The biggest problem I found was in the user manual. To me the manual is very vague...........especially for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of electronics with menus and settings. It took me quite awhile to figure out just how everything worked and I'm not exactly a novice working with electronics on a day to day basis. In order for my mother to appreciate this gift and not stick it in a drawer or closet, I had to create my own user manual so she could use it when received.

The other issue I have is the fact the box shows various frames you can switch out on this but finding them is another thing. So far I've only been able to locate the base unit in black.

Customer Service? I can't say as I haven't tried; but, go to their site and you cannot find much to help unless you write them.

If not worried about additional frames or not opposed to spending unnecessary time trying to figure things out with the controls and menus, the picture viewer in itself is not a bad little unit. I'm sure my mother will be pleased (hoping she can figure out and follow MY operating instructions).

I received this picture frame 2 days ago and have already loaded it with pictures. The picture quality is great and you can see it from all angles (no black screens). I love the fact that it has a USB port on the side so you can change your pictures fast without moving your frame. I have discovered converted avi videos on my computer don't play. The manual states it accepts motion jpeg avi videos from your digital camera. I will have to try that. The mp3 files play fine. The speakers are acceptable for the price. Overall, I like this frame and the way it looks as well.

Within minutes of receiving this frame I was viewing photos off of my compact flash - without even reading the manual! After reading it (easy to understand with a little computer knowledge), I was quickly able to load a bunch of photos onto the internal memory directly from my PC by the provided USB cable. It's a simple drag and drop(or copy) system. It is just as easy to remove photos. Note: the order in which you put the pictures into the flash file is the order in which they will play on the frame (unless you choose random play). I wanted my pictures to play in a specific order, so I had to put them into the file in that order. From what I can see, you cannot organize the order of play once they're on the internal memory of the frame.

The photo display quality is excellent. I've been shopping these out in person and this is by far the best resolution I've seen. So many of them are 'pixelly,' but this one isn't at all. The colors are true and you can adjust the brightness. I found that picture sizes between 100kb and 200kb were perfectly fine for viewing without being sluggish in loading. I couldn't quite tell what the frame looked like from the picture, but I really like the sleek, black, flat screen style.

I have no idea about the quality of video or audio files - I did not explore this function.

I bought this frame as a gift for my parents and preloaded photos on it for them, but I have no doubt that they'll be able to manage it by themselves. Now I want one for myself!!
