Customer Review: Poor documentation. Awkward to use.
I was looking for something simple to use. This is not it. It is not intuitively obvious and the documentation is very poor. Also I can rotate a picture and it stays rotated but if I zoom a picture it reverts back to the original. This is my first experience with a digital frame so maybe I'm just a dummy but I don't recommend it. I didn't load their software because I once bought a Kodak camera and the software for that was very intrusive and annoying.
Customer Review: I like it for basic photos
When I bought this for my grandparents, I was looking for something easy. To be frank, I just wanted a flash drive port. All I had to do was plug the frame in, insert the card, and hit go. Poof! Easy as pie for grandma and grandpa. I have no intent to explore all the features that probably made this so expensive, but if you're in the same situation I am, it works. And on a Mac too. :)


Everyone wants to show off his or her photos. Whether they just had a new grandchild or their children just got married, they want you to admire their pictures. Did they just return from an exciting vacation or business trip? They want to show off their trip! The saying has always been "a picture is worth a thousand words" and that is very true today. While someone is telling you about the excitement in their lives, they want to show you the pictures also.

Now there are wonderful ways to show off these photos. Leather envelopes are available in every color and style of leather to house four by six pictures. Whether you like the soft colors of pink or lime, or the traditional red or black leathers, you have your choice. The pictures can constantly be changed in these photo cases and up-dated at will. Newer versions are now available with the magnetic closure. These come in many colors also, and some of them have jeweled findings on the front for added zing. The leather cases can be individually monogrammed with a name or initial. As corporate gifts they can be personalized with a company name or logo. The cases are so versatile for so many occasions; they are always a popular gift. Not just for women, men will also carry these in their pocket or briefcase. The Italian cognac leather or the smooth black leathers are especially popular with the men.

A novel photo holder is the framed case that holds sixteen photos. The pictures fold out accordion style. These can also slide in and out and be changed or updated at will. The frame closes like a change purse and is very flat and sleek looking. It is available in many colors and styles of leather. Men will often carry this slim case in the smooth black leather. It actually resembles the old-fashioned cigarette or cigar case. Monogramming makes this a very special way to showcase your photos. It actually creates quite a presentation! This is also very compact and can become one of your favorite travel accessories.

For those that cannot limit their pictures to "just a few" there are a huge variety of photo albums available. They come in leathers of every color and description. Whether you like the smooth leathers best or the alligator or lizard grains, there's an album for you. These albums also hold four by six photos. Many have pages that fold out doubled, so there are eight photos on a page. In addition to leather, these albums are available in gold or silver tone. Metal albums can be engraved while the leather albums are monogrammed or embossed. These albums are so compact, they can easily fit inside your discount luggage and be taken along on your trips for everyone to admire. You can even fill your album on your travels as you move along from place to place.

It did not take long for the digital photo album to be born. With all of the digital cameras on the market today, they needed an album besides the Internet to show them off. These digital photo albums come with special paper that can be used with your printer to print right from your home computer. The photos come out very professional looking. You can continually add pages to the album as you print more and more of your favorite photos. The albums have a huge array of colors available. They can also be engraved with a name or initials to make them more personal. These albums are lightweight and can be slipped into your discount luggage to take along while you're traveling. No reason any more not to have your favorite pictures along with you to share with others.
