I got it because of its unbeatable look. It has the best look either on or off. Other features are reasonable.
 Way to many BUGS - Sony how could you? August 25, 2008

My first impression of the Sony DPF-V900 is that the looks are great, and the funtionality is promissing. I was surprised that it doesn't read the latest SDHC memory cards - which everyone will soon be using.
The directions are not even correct, it will NOT use the menu button out of the box with the remote. You must firt either transfer your own pictures or have it read a device.
It also will NOT read all JPG images. I have many jpg images that I converted to black and white using irfanview (probably one of the most common photo tool applications) and the device will NOT SHOW THE PICTURES. It just puts a question mark in it's place. Just to make sure it wasn't a defective jpg, I opened the image in Internet Explorer, MS Paint, and Firefox - it's definately a sony problem since I also emailed the black and white photos to many friends and family and nobody had a problem.
Also, I noticed another bug in the date and time if you try and used the Year/Month/Day setting. It's off by about 24 hours or so, what good is a clock and calendar that is always wrong. This is an issue for me, since my wife is from Europe and using the US or European style time and clock is confusing to her or me.
So, you would think with all these bugs in the first 5 minutes of using this product that sony would have caught wind of the problems in their quality testing and released a new firmware update - but on the sony style site, they only try to give you brochures, an instruction manual and a bunch of "accessories" that you can purchase.
Give me a break, if I want to purchase a $39 dollar HDMI cable, I'll let you know; but how about a product that actually does what you advertise, like show pictures, and have a working clock and calendar? Shame on you Sony, you should be pushing firmware updates to fix all the bugs, rather then trying to sell me accessories.
I give you 2 stars for image quality and style - nice try but this is a dud, please fix the product - for over $200 I expected much more. I feel like returning for a much cheaper competitor that can actually show ALL MY PHOTOS.

I own three digital frames and the Sony DPF-V900 9-inch is by far the best one I have. I hesitated before purchasing it because of certain less than average reviews published on this website. One related to the HDMI output, which I found to be flawless. I hooked the frame up to a 60-inch Philips HDTV, and the quality of the pictures was excellent. Another complaint related to the frame's presentation settings. Well, there are two modes in the Sony software. One allows editing of the pictures (red eye, crop, zoom, orientation, etc.) and should not be used for a slide show because the options (shuffle, time between each picture) just won't work. As part of the slide show mode, the Sony's features are like no other (one alows to view on the right side of the screen the time and date the picture being presented was taken). Overall, although a bit pricy, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend it.
I was new to this technology and August 24, 2008
never owned or seen a digital picture frame up close, so I put a lot of stock in the reviews I read. Although this Sony DPF-V900 cost more, the reviewers rated it quite good and I liked the greater storage capacity and the HDMI connection it had. This was going to be a gift for my 90 year old mother and I wanted it to suit her needs. I loaded it with many digitaly scanned slides my father had taken of our family over the years, some as old as 50 years. When I hooked a HDMI cable to the picture frame and to the HDMI input on the LCD TV, it was an instant hit. We all enjoyed the ease of seeing those wonderful old slide photos on that big LCD TV screen. It was a shame that those old slides never were seen because it was just too much of a hassle to view them the old way with a projector and screen setup. Another added useful benefit is the digital callendar which Mom loves a lot too. Our family gives this product a thumbs up.

It works beautifully and is easy to use. It's strengths are the well thought out software and the wonderful picture. An elegant design--I use a 8 GB card which has hundreds of pictures.
