 Not user friendly enough January 8, 2008

Not user friendly enough. Looked nice and picture quality seemed good, but overall, required more expertise than I had hoped.
 No bells and whistles but an excellent product January 8, 2008

I purchased this picture frame for my wife for Christmas because we all love looking at photos and I have 5-6 years worth of digital photos at this point, and it's hard to sit down and look at them all. After seeing another brand on display at a store I decided to do some research on them, as the one at the store had poor resolution and the images looked pixellated. I finally settled on this Philips 6.5" frame (in white) for a few reasons. Although it did not have a remote control, it has the highest resolution (pixels per inch) of anything I saw in this price range, and after all is said and done, picture quality is the most important feature. This unit doesn't play MP3s either, which isn't a problem for me; it does one thing and does it well.
Setup was pretty simple, I didn't even use the CD that came with the frame. I used Picasa to select pictures and resize them to 720x720, copied them to an old 512MB CompactFlash card I had (~250-300 pictures at this size took up about 36 MB on the card), plugged it into the unit and set it to run on slideshow. You can change the order in the slideshow (sequential or random), the duration (I believe the options are 5, 15, 30, or 60 seconds per picture), delete or rotate images right through the UI (which is pretty clean - I had no trouble figuring out how to do stuff without once looking at the instructions). And as I said, the picture quality is great - it's best if you resize your images to fit the dimensions of the screen, and don't let it resize them for you. Picasa makes this easy if you crop to 4x6 and then export at 720.
The unit has an internal battery but you can't use it for very long - this frame will need to be plugged in most of the time. It has an on/off timer so you can set it to turn on at 8 AM and turn off at 10 PM to save electricity (or screen burn-in, or whatever).
It has about 16 MB internal memory, so if you don't have a CF card you can still put some pictures on it. I think I was able to get about 85 or 90 pictures (resized to 720) on the internal memory. To access the internal memory you simply plug it in to your PC via the included USB cable and your PC (Windows 2000 and newer) will show the frame as a removable hard disk. You then just copy the pictures over by dragging them. Unplug it and it's ready to use.
Overall this is a great product and I am very pleased with it.

This was a gift and the recipient was very happy with it. Note that there is no music option, which some of the other digital frames have.
Phillips Digital Picture Frame January 4, 2008
David B. Tabor (Boise, ID, USA)
I purchased this for my wife for Christmas per her request. She wanted a digital picture frame, and I selected the Phillips after reviewing what Amazon had available. The software requires 20% free hard drive space for file conversions, a surprise when she started to load pictures. The interface is not intuitive for cropping or editing, and once loaded you can not change the order of the pictures because they displayed in the order they were loaded. They could have mentioned this in the so-called user's manual. It also doesn't explain that the software automatically resizes the original picture files, and this takes some time, so drag and drop works slowly. The techical specs don't say how much internal memory the device has, but took 75 pictures easily. With 75 pictures loaded it is running now and looks great. Loading to a memory card would likely be faster, and we have one on order. Overall, a nice device, but better instructions would have saved start-up time.
