5 out of 5 stars Does best what it is supposed to do.....   August 25, 2008
Pros:
+ Good resolution which is adequate for a display of this size
+ Nice looking frame with good finish and excellent image quality
+ Plays music files (WMA format)
+ Plays avi and mov format videos
+ Decent software with the system that allows you to manage your pics
+ Good inbuilt software with easy navigation and control
+ Comes with full functionality remote
+ Many slide transition options
+ Accepts two different card at same time (two card slots SD, xD and CF)+additional built in memory
+ Slide-show and music can run at same time
+ LCD screen with a large viewing angle (images can be seen well from sides)
+ Can be connected to PC for direct image transfer (or the cards can be inserted after copying images)

Cons:

- Cannot hang this on wall untill you can find a way to hide the cable (electricity) or if you are ok with the cable being seen
- Speakers on the back on the unit (if there is obstruction on the back side, too close to wall etc sound will be muffled)
- No support for MP3 (only WMA music files)
- Inbuilt music player is very basic, you cannot fast forward or reverse a song, you can skip them thou
- No charging mechanism as such the frame will run only when connected to an electricity outlet (120V to 240V)

Gist:
Does best what it is supposed to do i.e. DISPLAYING IMAGES, crisp images with many configurable options

Highly recommended if you want a frame for full image and basic music and video functionality (which I consider a free bonus at this price)



4 out of 5 stars A great deal!   August 11, 2008

Pros:
Nicely enhanced bright colors; Simple interface; Play background music; Takes most memory media; Remote

Cons:
Shabby backpanel construction; Photos cannot be randomized; Heats up a lot

At $100 (Aug 2008 on RitzCamera.com), this is an outstanding deal in the 11" digital photo frame segment. The colors of the pics seen in the frame are amazingly bright, and even low resolution pics look great on this screen.
The musical playback is great feature, though I haven't found a way of turning it off. It can give a surreal or nostalgic effect depending on your pics.
The interface is simple, with minimal buttons.
Its capable of reading almost any kind of media including USB stick, compact flash cards, MMC and SD cards. With an internal memory of 128 MB and almost unlimited external media memory, one can literally enjoy their entire life's albums on this beautiful digital photo frame.
I have never used the remote, but its a cool feature to have on this gadget.

Although, the front panel of the frame looks elegant, the finishing of the back-panel is a bit shoddy. The actual electronic display is held inside a plastic frame with the help of 4 screws, but the two surfaces don't flush onto each other very well, giving it an uneven level difference. The screws also go into the panel at random angle because of the level difference.
Leave the screen on for more than 2 hrs and it will melt down all the stuff within 3 ft from it! The big screen dissipates a lot of heat. I haven't seen if other frames give out as much heat as well, but this seems to get a bit too hot!
A couple of features that I thot were missing was the ability to randomize the pics on the media and to turn off the music if wanted. But for all the other good features that it has, losing out on these two is not a big deal for me.

A happy customer and recommended till another superior piece comes in the market at a lower price!
