 Great Frame with One Small Glitch November 23, 2008
I bought this frame as a gift. I filled it with family photos. We shall see how it goes over this holiday season.
It's extremely easy to use. Once plugged in and connected to the computer, the computer recognizes it as a portable memory device and opens a window. Just create a folder with any name you choose and fill it with photos. Drag the photos to the folder in the frame memory. As soon as you disconnect the cable, the pictures begin showing on the frame. I have a feeling that the frame will work just as easily with a memory card. Finally, without reading the instructions I was able to figure out how to set the clock and the calendar. To get at all the features, reading the instruction would help. (If you don't connect it to a computer right away, the frame will automatically start up an instruction slide show. If you want to sit and watch, the frame will show you how to use it.)
Finally, the glitch! The "Mode" button allows you to cycle through the various ways of viewing the frame. I thought that the most practical application was the simultaneous showing of the analogue clock and picture. However, although the clock was accurately set, when in the simultaneous mode, the clock did not show the right time. This "feature" was a bit of a mystery which I have not yet solved. Since I am giving one of these frames to each of my three kids, maybe they will figure out the solution to this mystery.
This frame is so nice looking that I plan to buy one for myself. Hopefully, my kids will have figured out the glitch before I get one.
 Sony DPF-D70 7 inch Digital Photo Frame November 23, 2008
I recently received this frame as a gift and I am happy
to say that it is one of the best gifts I have received.
I am a scrap booker and spend many hours creating a legacy
in photos, but once done with the albums, I don't often look
at the pictures afterwards. With this photo frame, I get to
enjoy the same pictures I've just worked with over and over again
and I love it. The quality of the frame and images is excellent.
It is perhaps the best of the digital frames out there. The crisp
images and easy to use frame are the best. I highly recommend this
purchase for anyone who loves pictures and wants to enjoy them often.

I got my S-Frame DPF-V900 for Mother's Day and I love it. I had researched digital frames and got a Pandigital frame for my parents last Christmas. I was impressed with the Pandigital but the Sony S-Frame picture quality, feature set, and ease-of-use can't be beat! I was especially impressed with the easy-to-use interface which makes setup and modifications a breeze. I also like the calendar with picture view feature as I keep this frame on my desk at work. I am very impressed with the overall product quality and design of the frame and the frames ability to auto rotate images if you change the frame orientation from horizontal to vertical.
sony excellent choice November 11, 2008
I got this after seeing it in retail stores. The picture quality is too good, not too many offer a high resolution for a 7 inch digital frame. a worth investment

After doing a ton of research, I settled on this frame mostly by process of elimination (and the fact that while there are not a ton of reviews on Sony frames, they are mostly all good). I eliminated many others because (1) most other frames are not in the 4:3 aspect ratio (meaning black bars on your pics); (2) most other frames have mediocre reviews (for example, no Kodak frame (the market leader) does better then 3.5 stars on Amazon over tons of reviews; and (3) many frames by lesser known brands appear to have serious and scary quality control issues that are ignored/not caught by professional reviews, but show up in user reviews.
This frame definitely costs more for the size and features, but the pics look awesome, and I'm confident that if there is a problem, I have a reliable company to go to. It was super easy to get set up, I put 350 pics in a folder, ran a batch resizer on them to get them to 800x600 (not really necessary given the amount of on-board memory on the unit, but the I figured my PC plus a good free resizer program would probably do better then the unit itself at resizing), connected the frame by USB cable to the PC and copied that folder to the unit and that was pretty much that. For the price, a bigger picture frame would be nice, but really the 8 inch screen size is great for your desk at work.
