Stunning Photo View, weak software
I purchased this for a Christmas gift 2008 and was pleased with the visual quality of projected photos (for high resolution pics downsized to the 1024x768 max resolution size). Colors are good and fairly close to those seen on a calibrated laptop monitor. However I found the software to load the photos to be a bit clunky. What worked best for me was to resize (downsize) the photos on my laptop (I loaded 600+) and then transfer them to the frame's internal memory over the included usb connector. I ran into various problems in trying to read from either a oompact flash or sd card - issues with the frame slots for the card, or possibly some compatability issues with Vista, not really sure. Overall I was happy with the product but would have liked the software to be more flexibile and bug-free.

Frame will not turn on
I was given this frame as a Christmas gift and loved it the first day. Then after spending hours loading my photos it would not turn on any more. I called customer service and after a 35 minute wait I was told it was the power cord. They sent out a new cord a week later and guess what?! The frame will still not turn on. Now I have a dead frame with all my photos on it. I tried customer service again and after a 30 minute wait I gave up. Sure the frame looks nice but it does not show photos so whats the point?

Couldn't be easier...
This was the easiest digital frame to use. After purchasing and returning two other brands the Smartparts digital frame was the best for what I needed. I have music in mp3 and CD format, it played both without any special formating. The pictures were clear and it was very easy to load and play. We purchased a 4GB memory card and easily transferred music and years worth of pictures for us to enjoy anytime. The kids love seeing their pictures pop up. Well worth the money. I can't wait to transfer our movies and include them in the rotation.
