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. :)


More and more professional photographers are discovering the amazing new method of printing photos on canvas, rather than on paper, every day. And once they try it and see the result, they swear by canvas as the best and most cost-effective method for printing photos.

Printing on canvas has many benefits for the quality-conscious photographer. Switching to canvas means a guaranteed increase in profits and the finest, top-quality prints that last longer than you would believe. No other method will allow you to save as much. It is also easy to achieve if you outsource to a reputed professional company. Just try it once; you will never want to go back to paper again.

Let's look at the benefits of this method. Matt canvas brings out the best colours in your photo without the artificial look that you would get with photo paper. Its unique, natural texture is impossible to recreate with any other material. It's also a time-tested method: painters have used canvas for centuries. These beautiful works of art painted on canvas have lasted much beyond their own lifetime and they still retain their beautiful colours. Its quality, durability and effectiveness have been proven time and time again.

Now you might think that it would be impossible to print photos on canvas, but that has become easier and easier with the advent of new photo-printing technology: you can easily print them on any wide format printer.

But the difficult part of using canvas is the stretching: canvas-printed photographs have to be stretched over a frame and wrapped around the sides and the back. This is a delicate process because many things could go wrong. A sealer has to be applied to make the canvas more malleable and the canvas has to be stretched by hand across a special frame. Each part of the process of stretching requires extreme care.

Because of this little detail, many photographers choose not to use this method and thus lose out on the great profits they could be making. But don't worry, you don't need to learn how to stretch canvas by yourself. It can be outsourced to a professional canvas printing company for very little cost and great savings. By outsourcing to a reputed company, you also don't have to worry about the quality of the materials or of the final print, since they are assured. Many companies in this line of work offer the best service, with the best materials, and utmost professionalism with a full money back guarantee. What their customers appreciate more about the service is the human touch. They can be sure their prints are done by experienced professionals who take care of their print at every stage of its creation, not just by a machine.

Imagine a photo print that is good enough to display in a museum and that will last a lifetime. Now imagine that the costs of printing the photo are less than any other method available. Canvas printing by a professional company offers this and more. Would you choose any other material?

Try it for yourself with one of your photos!

While analyzing any camera, one of the most important qualities of a photograph that a person seeks, is resolution. This word itself needs a brief discussion before progressing onto its implication upon a digital camera. This is a word that seems to almost every new photographer as a nightmare. With all the myths and irrelevant information circulating all around, this is quite common. This however is an effort to clear those misty myths and provide good information for everyone. Without any complexity, generally a photograph, either viewed on the screen or printed, is composed of infinitesimal dots (called pixels). The greater amount of these dots that can fit per inch of space, the smaller the dots and the sharper the image. This is the basis of understanding ... resolution!

Considering an image at 100 dots per inch that is one square inch in size. It is comprised of 100 X 100 pixels. Now changing this image four-times to four square inches. This image is quite clear. Now the same 100 X 100 dots exist, but with only 25 dots per inch. The appearance becomes grainy. This is the factor know as resolution that determines this quality of image. Hence it can now be interpreted by any person what the importance of resolution is and where it is required in the filed of photography. While purchasing a digital camera, resolution is a very important factor to take into account when settling upon buying a particular one.

Digital camera resolution comes in as Mega pixels. A Mega pixel is composed of one million pixels. The greater the number of Mega pixels, the greater becomes the standard of quality of the photograph or picture. As a standard, one mega pixel is the minimum bottom line below which a digital camera must not be usually purchased. This is a general decided value for any amateur photographers also, and the exact value of higher mega pixels is not a concern for people who do not intend to print the photographs. In an effort to scrutinize the pixels in an image out of sheer anxiety, a person can magnify the display in a photo editor, like a little magnifying glass, and they become very much visible!

The resolution decides the ultimate the future of the hard copy of a photograph being taken, whether a digital camera or a conventional camera. A print from a high-resolution photograph challenges anything produced from a chemical film camera. However a low-resolution image print of a photograph is quite appalling with fine details and restrained color transitions absent resulting from too few pixels. Thus the resolution can spoil an entire effort to freeze a memorable moment. Thus it is so vital. As a general rule a minimum of 200 pixels are required for each linear inch of a print. However, some printers get better results with 300 pixels per-inch of resolution.

The above discussion has brought into light a lot of relevant information regarding resolution and its application in the digital camera and photography. Also in the concluding lines it can only be stated for digital camera ... resolution is the real soul!
