While the online ordered Digital Frame didn't work, the one we exchanged at a Brookstone Store, is a fantastic product.

Very easy to use, great picture quality. Didn't store as many photos as promised.

I purchased this for a special birthday gift for my son-in-law, a photographer nut. He is very pleased with it, and has it prominently displayed in his conference room. He tells me he has had complimentary comments daily, from his clients as well as staff. I am very pleased I chose this selection.

all this needs is to be a bit more substantial in its construction and it would be just right

We used our Digital Frame at a recent party to show old photos of the "Birthday boy"; then took more photos at the party, slipped in the memory chip,and everyone could see themselves having a good time!

Gift idea

By Love Pics from Sugar Land, Texas on 2/11/2008

One of my best Christmas gifts. My husband loaded all of our family photos on a USB memory stick and I just plugged into the picture frame and there were my pictures. They look great!

By Avid photographer from Belmont, MA on 2/10/2008

We bought this frame(based on strong reviews here)for my in-laws, as what seemed an inspired way to keep them up to date on the family, but we have yet to present it to them because of challenges we've encountered in setting it up. The first frame came with a faulty pixel, so we had to exchange it. With the second one, transferring photos from a memory card was a cinch, but most of our photos reside on our desktop and tranferring them has been the problem -- the memory fills very quickly unless you resize large files. Unless we have a faulty unit again, we've reached "memory full" with just a few dozen photos, rather than the "up to 1,000" noted on the box, so I've had to laboriously open and resize photo after photo. I still think the frame holds promise, and I'm hoping my problems with it are atypical, but so far it hasn't been the simple-to-use item I was expecting!

By CD from Mt. Pleasant, IA on 1/31/2008

We keep the frame in our kitchen/dining area & enjoy a constant display of recent photos/holiday photos/vacations. The kids love adding new photos.

Great for easy photo display.

By Excellent photographer from Augusta Ga on 1/28/2008

A great way to show off the photos, very dynamic

By gracie from Derry, NH on 1/26/2008

My boyfriend loves this gift. He gets to see more of the things he's interested in on a regular basis

By Photo Guy from Queens from Queens, NY on 1/26/2008

I have several digital photo frames in my home and this one is by far the best. The screen is clear and vivid and viewable from many angles, which is an important point to consider. The frame is also easy to operate. I just popped in a compact flash card and I was off and running in no time flat. If you are looking for a digital frame, I highly recommend this one.

We bought 3 for gifts. Unfortunately one didn't work. Figured it was a fluke so will exchange it. Otherwise a wonderful product that's easy to use and offers lots of options.

By Cooper from Sarasota, FL on 1/21/2008

I gave this to my husband for Christmas. It was so easy to use he promptly loaded it and had it out for people to see at our New Year's party. It was a big hit among people who came to our house and were able to see all the pictures. Probably my biggest concern in purchasing this was the picture clarity. Well, the picture clarity is outstanding!
We both love it! Very happy with my purchase decision.

By MEM from Boston Ma on 1/19/2008

It is the focal point of my office

By Pam the photographer from Germanton, NC on 1/16/2008

I love to show my friends all my pictures without the hassle of keeping up with paper photos. Everyone comments on the clarity of the pictures.

By JayJay from Jacksonville, Florida on 1/14/2008

Is a very calming experience to see the photos of family and friends pass by when you cannot be around them all the time.

By Van from New York on 1/12/2008

Love this digital frame! Handsome frame, lots of photos, eliminates the need for multiple frames in an office!

By Van from New York on 1/12/2008

This is a great digital frame! Beautiful resolution, handsome frame for my workspace and it holds so many photos; I just wish that the portrait/landscape set-up could be preserved once you shut the frame down.

By Happy Shopper from Stratham, NH on 1/12/2008

It is a conversational piece; everyone that saw the slide shows mentioned that they would like a digital photo frame either for themselves, or as a gift for a family member with whom the wanted to share special events, moments, etc.

By Great Picture from Boston, MA on 1/12/2008

Bpought this for my Mom and Dad for Christmas. They loved it! The picture quality is very good and it's easy enough for my Dad to use.

By Pam from Charlotte, NC on 1/11/2008

I gave this frame as a gift and was most pleased. The owner was able to install photos asap and we could all see them immediately and for the whole time they were with us due to the electric cord provided. They really liked it and I felt good about my gift to them.

By JEANIE from MPLS, MN on 1/11/2008

By Bill from Hackensack, NJ on 1/11/2008

This is the first such product I have purchased - a Christmas present for my wife. She loves the way she can see so many pictures using the built-in slideshow! I am impressed by the unit - it looks better than many I have seen.

By dee from dallas on 1/11/2008

I like this product

By Tim from Cleveland, OH on 1/11/2008

Excellent digital frame with great expandability. The product works exactly as advertised and presents a high quality picture. It's easy to load photos to its internal memory as well as using a variety of commonly-found cards (CompactFlash, SD, etc.) It looks great too - the replacable frames are a very nice touch. All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase.

By itz34me from Garland, TX on 1/11/2008

I bought this for my mother in law as a Christmas gift. I was surprised at how easy it was to load the pictures. The picture quality is superb and it is very easy to use.

By John from Dallas, TX on 1/11/2008

Easy to use, high quality frame allows efficient display of pictures

I like this product, it displays a lot of pictures on a fairly good screen. However, like all technological toys, this one requires you to do some work to use it most effectively. And like most technological toy manufacturers, Brookstone assumes you know something about the technology and doesn't tell you what you would like to know. The manual is not as thorough as the one that is online. So, go to the support section and get the pdf manual.

For those who are complaining about the amount of pictures the frame displays, I think I know what the problem is. Read on for my solution.

The screen (according to the pdf manual) is 640 by 480 pixels (~300 kpixels), therefore you probably want to compress your pictures before downloading to the frame. I took an image that was 2 Mbytes, reduced it to 67 kbytes and sent both to the frame. I noticed very little difference. So, the message here is that I could have 64 large files or 1,000 small files transferred to the frame - a significant difference in the amount of photos I can display. And if you use a large memory card, you probably don't have to compress the images.

If you don't want to spend a lot of time in front of your PC editing pictures, you can reduce the quality setting on your digital camera, but remember that the quality will be reduced for all displays. What many folks do when confronted by these situations is to go find some teenager who has the patience to figure this out and then tell you how to do it. Different software packages do things differently, so you may have to buy something to reduce the images. Then you have the software to do a lot more processing and take up more of your free time!

Displaying our 3 year old grandson to all.
Enjoy it greatly.

By Radonald from Stanton, CA on 1/4/2008

The product is displayed where everyone in the family room can view it. It has all family photos and when my siblings and there families came over, they could not stop watching to see what would appear next. The product should either have a random setting and/or be able to move the photo order around. I changed the order on the folder that pops up when you hook it to the computer. The order changed in the folder, but not the product. Maybe I did something wrong, but I doubt it. Whatever order I put them in, that is the order it remained.

By Tom from Madison, Wisconsin on 1/4/2008

Unit would only load 1 of 4 different Sony Memory Sticks we tried to load. All sticks had pictures on them. Unit loaded fine from an external pen drive, however. Unit controls are "touchy" - especially the copy command. You have to press it "just right" to get copy-all to run. Biggest deficiency is not being able to sequence the pictures once they're loaded onto the unit (since they seem to load in a random order). Would be nice to have an edit screen where you could re-order the picture sequence.

By Dennis the Realtor from Alexandria Alabama on 1/4/2008

Easy to use a great visual quality

By Woodworker from Black River Falls, WI. on 1/4/2008

Got this to use while giving sales presentations. Ease of use was very important & this is very simple to use.

By flash from pittsburgh, pa on 1/4/2008

pictures are easy to load and look very clear.
you can take a pictur on your digital and 1 second later have it loaded in your frame to display. Very nice!

By Gary the Headhunter from Rochester, NY on 1/4/2008

It was a gift for my daughter....she loves it!

By bob from erie, pa on 1/2/2008

this frame is so easy to use and the pictures are really clear.

By The Dubb from Whitman, MA on 12/29/2007

Overall this is a solid product and leaves the competition behind. It is easy to set up and use. I was only able to transfer ~80 photos before it reached capacity. I don't see how they can make the claim that it can hold "up to 1000 photos". Since it won't run from a mem stick AND it's own 128MB storage I don't know how to go beyond what I've installed thus far. Could be I'm missing something here. If not, it's good for 80 pics and shows them well.

By bob from erie, pa on 12/27/2007

The was soo easy to set up. The images are very clear. we love this frame.

By ScrappinChick from NC on 12/27/2007

This was given to my husband and I as a Christmas gift. What a gift! We absolutely love it! It is easy to use, goes great with our home decor and the best part is it displays our favorite pictures!

I like the slideshow best. We prefer using a flash drive, but love that it has an internal memory that would allow us to copy the pics to the unit. I will say that even after reading the directions on how to copy pictures we still had a hard time getting the feature to work; basically you cannot go from slideshow to copying pics without turning the unit off and starting from the main screen.

I really don't have any complaints, the quality of the picture is great, color is true and we are enjoying it immensely!
