1 out of 5 stars 0 Stars, Junk Pandigital 8" doesn't last, cannot repair, bad company   August 14, 2008
I. Dencker (Missouri)
Don't buy!!! Beware!!! JUNK JUNK JUNK 8" Pandigital Photo Frame is JUNK! Would have rated it a 0 if I could. I have had this for 10 months and rarely use it - mainly just when I have company over. I use it about once every 2 weeks and even then only for a couple of hours. After 10 months it won't even turn on and Pandigital won't do anything for me. They do not have a repair facility so once it goes out, it is a $150 piece of trash. When it did work, the picture was great and the different ports were nice but this thing cost me $5 per hour to run before it went completely dead. The attourney general and better business bureau have a letter on the way... Completely dissatisfied with the company and the product.


1 out of 5 stars Works intermittently   August 4, 2008

I bought this product from a large warehouse store. All connections worked fine, but after a while it started to lose images in the onboard memory. I didn't notice until some started displaying with corrupt data (weird lines through images). I plugged the USB in again to download the images again and I received an unformatted drive warning. I had to reformat the onboard (FAT32) and re-downlaod all the images. I turned it off for several weeks while I was on vacation. When I got back, it had lost all the data in the onboard memory and I had to reformat and redownload again. I'm going to take the product back where I bought it. There's definitely a problem with the firmware on this product or just poor QA at the factory.


1 out of 5 stars Poor quality, poor warranty.   June 10, 2008
S. Caudle (WA)
I received this as a birthday gift last year. I had no problems setting it up, and it worked fine for about eight months, then quit. I called the customer service, and after being on hold for 15 minutes, a polite gentleman said the LCD screen was dead, and that it was well beyond the 90 day warranty. Basically, my only option was to purchase a new one, and the customer service rep. wasn't even willing to recommend this option. While he was polite, I got the feeling he was tired of having to respond to so many complaints, so needless to say, I will not be buying another.


1 out of 5 stars Not recommended for anyone who isn't electronic savvy   June 4, 2008
D. Goodson
The poor design causes your flash card to fall into the frame. USB was no good, had to go get another one. Had to format the frame because it had a glitch which meant downloading the photos to the frame again. And for the majority of the people buying these, who aren't electronic savvy, they will have a hard time following the vague directions. Having to copy photos one at a time to the frame could be made simpler with a batch download. It would definitely save time. truly, more thought should be put into this product. Either by Pandigital in making it user friendly or the consumer in their purchase of it.


5 out of 5 stars Works great, very clear pictures, nice remote   April 6, 2008

This photo frame gives you instant gratification even without a computer. Simply take the memory card out of your digital camera, stick it in one of the 4 slots:

Slot 1 - Secure Digital or MultiMedia Card
Slot 2 - Compact Flash
Slot 3 - Memory Stick
Slot 4 - xD Memory Card,

turn on the power switch and the slide show starts immediate.

There is a remote if you want to toggle between the memory cards, or bring up thumbnail mode to select a photo, choose transitions, select speed of slide show, etc. But I just use it in whatever mode it came with and it all works fine.

Connecting to the computer was not a problem for me. Perhaps it depends on the laptop and drivers. However for my Lenovo T61p, I simply connected the included USB cable, the frame was recognized by my computer, all the drives and the internal memory. Copying files over was as simple as dragging and dropping.

One note, because of the FAT file format, you cannot drag too many files into the root directory of any of the memory cards, or internal memory. Instead, I created subfolders numbered 00, 01, 02, 03, etc, and dragged a couple hundred files in each. The frame will randomly cycle photos from any and all subfolders.

The other thing I did was resize all of my jpegs to 800x600 so that I can get the most number of pictures into the internal memory. I used a freeware program called resizejpegs v1.00. It does a great job of allowing you to select a folder and resizes jpegs to the desired size. You can choose whether to overwrite the original file, or create a subfolder where all of the resized files go.

To me, the frame was very easy to use, and does not require a computer if all you want to do is preview photos from your memory cards. Resizing the jpegs is a good idea for snappy transitions between photos, although they claim to support pictures up to 12M pixels.
