 Great deal, high resolution 4:3 std format frame. May 29, 2008
Pig Nose
The Philips 5.6" digital picture frame is the best in terms of price and features. This one boasts a 4:3 format 640 by 480 pixel bright display measuring 5.6" diagonally. While not the largest frame in size, the included features make this one a keeper. Most frames on the market today are typically a wide-format display. Almost all digital cameras take pictures in 4:3 format. This means that a 4:3 frame will show your entire picture without cropping or stretching.
This frame includes a CF slot and a second slot that supports multiple formats of flash memory. It also includes onboard memory which allows you to store 60-100 pictures.
The colors are impressive and pictures are sharp. I got the frame recently when Amazon had it for ~$50 during their 2008 Mother's Day promotion and it is so worth the price.
Some other neat features:
1. Can be used as an alarm clock with customizable photo/message display
for the event.
2. Programmable slide shows and albums, easy to organize.
3. Says it supports SDHC memory (I did not test this).
4. Programmable auto power off/on.
5. Removable (changeable?) outer plastic frame.
No problems with the included software on my PC platform (Windows XP). Pretty much drag and drop and the software does the necessary conversions to copy your photos to the correct resolutions so it saves memory.
Excellent buy!
easy to use May 23, 2008

I received this as a Christmas gift and really like it. It was very easy to use and figure out. It came with a program to put on my PC that was relatively simple, although it did take me a bit to figure out how to delete pictures. The instructions on that were a bit confusing (it could have just been me though) but I figured it out in the end. It holds about 70 pictures but of course it all depends on their size. I have no complaints about the quality of the pictures or the features. I love that it has a timer so you can have it turn off at night or only turn on for certain lengths of time.. Also, as far as durability, I accidentally dropped it the first week I had it and it still works! :) I highly recommend this frame!
Let the Slide Show Begin May 22, 2008

First off I want to say I bought this for fifty bucks on special right here on amazon.com At that price it is a good buy. At the current price it's not worth it. There are better photo slide show frames out there with more features. No MP3 or MP4. You cannot charge this, you better have an outlet where you want to display your pics. Lacking these features puts a damper on it for me. But at fifty bucks who am I too complain?
Set up was a little slow going it kept going back to it's default pictures.
But I finally got it set up even the clock! Now this a nice feature!
The pictures show was great! No distortion great depth and color! Nothing looked washed out or stretched out. You can set the speed of the slide show, From seconds to hours. The 5.6 screen is great a very nice size. it doesn't seem small to me. For fifty bucks it's nice but at it's current price I'd search for one with more features.
 Nice looking frame, subpar performance May 21, 2008

I am on my second frame. The first one freaked out on me and wouldn't do anything. It started emitting a burning smell, and eventually only came up to a blank screen, no matter what I did. I attempted a firmware update, but it never did anything.
I returned it for a replacement. Amazon was very helpful in returning the frame. I got the replacement quickly, and shipping the item back was a breeze.
Now I have the second frame, and it at least works partially. It may work better on a PC, but on the Mac, it is very flawed. It does not work as described in the manual. I finally was able to get it working with an SD card, but occasionally it still freaks out and gives me a blank screen. I have to unplug it at that point to restart it.
If any Mac users have a digital frame that works well, I'd love to know about it. I like the looks of this frame, and the price was great. It just does not work as described, and has been quite a pain. Skip this one and look for something a little better.
Philips 5.6" Digital Photo Frame May 21, 2008

I bought this for my wife for Mother's Day. She absolutely LOVES it! The picture is quite sharp & bright. The only downside is that when you turn it on , you have to go through a couple menus to get going. Also make sure you buy a SD card ( or some type of memory) as it doesn't have much of its own. For about $10 you can get a 2 GB SD card that will hold more than plenty.
