What Makes Cagic So Much Better?

European Styling
Cagic was designed by a European-trained interior stylist using quality materials and bringing a passionate attention to detail. Unlike other gadgets on the market, Cagic will look gorgeous in any décor and from any angle. It is not a gadget but an element of home décor. Cagic is available in three beautiful frame finishes: mahogany, birch and black.

Intuitive Touch Matting Interface
Frame buyers tend to be women and tend to gift to an older audience. They want to enjoy their pictures, not learn (or need to explain) a new gadget. We at Cagic understand this, which is why we created an intuitive touch-matting interface for effortless frame operation.

Expandable Memory
Like most other frames, Cagic has multiple slots to accommodate different camera memory cards. In addition, Cagic has an extra SD memory slot that ships with a 2GB SD card inserted. This gives users the convenience of on-board memory with the flexibility to expand the memory available based on their needs. Users who wish to have more on board memory can simply remove the SD card and replace it with a larger one.

Freedom in Orientation
Cagic can be placed vertically or horizontally according to the user's preference or mood. The frame will immediately and automatically display pictures correct for however the frame is placed.

Next Generation Platform
Cagic is the first frame built on the new generation of image processors, rather than the standard AmLogic or MagicPixel chipset. This allows for more fluid display of photos and faster performance and storage.

True Touch Matting
Unlike other frames with glowing buttons, Cagic is the first digital picture frame with true, patent-pending touch matting technology. The use of soft keys in the matting allows for a complete integration of controls into the frame, without interfering with the elegant design of the frame.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cagic 8 - By Far the Best Digital Frame I've Used, November 28, 2008

This review is from: Cagic C8-BLACK 8.4-Inch TFT LCD Digital Picture Frame with TrueVu (Black Wood) (Electronics)

I've been using the Cagic 8 digital frame for more than a month now. Having used others (Philips, Kodak, Pandigital among them) I was a bit jaded, and perhaps my expectations were low for all digital frames.

Cagic cured that. Let's start with the basics: it works - perfectly. No bells and whistles, no complicated menus. You turn it on, it shows your pictures, period. Go to the next one? Just touch the matting on the right. Previous? Touch on the left. Loading pictures? Just stick your memory card in and it pulls all the pictures in, scales them for the frame and tells you to take the card out. That's it. Could not be easier.

In terms of styling, there's nothing that holds a candle to it... how could there be? They use solid brushed aluminum and a 2 inch thick natural wood frame. The frame is so solid it is almost confusing at first... it looks and feels like a nice piece of furniture, not a digital frame. No plastic, no ugly doors or things sticking out... just a metal dome on the back with a support and a beautiful wood frame on the front. Quite literally everything else out on the market is some mix of plastic and acrylic... Cagic went the other way.

The bad: not much. It doesn't do audio and doesn't play video. If you want to use your digital frame to watch TV or listen to music, this won't work. If you're like 99% of the other people who just want it to display pictures, this is the one. Also, no WiFi. I'm mixed on that. What I've seen of WiFi on frames is so confusing and laden with layers, that I'd love for it to be easy. It appears Cagic just opted out of WiFi for now (though an e-mail to customer service got a quick response stating "don't be surprised to see an upgrade in the near future" for WiFi when I suggested it).

In short, if you want something that looks nice and just works, with no thought involved, this is it. I ordered a 2nd one for my office after using this one for a while.

This review is from: Cagic C8-MAHOGANY 8.4-Inch TFT LCD Digital Picture Frame with TrueVu (Mahogany Wood) (Electronics)

The short review of this item does not give its full detail. The quality of the frame is excellent, as stated in the other reviews. Really does look like a expensive, quality made frame. Not Plastic or cheap in any sense. But there are a lot of options in displaying pictures that are not listed in the product description. You have a timer option to turn on and off the frame. Transition and timing option within the slide show. Auto orientation and scaling of the pictures to the proper orientation of the frame. All options are easy to access from a touch sensitive metal matte around the frame. From the brief description of the frame before I purchased it, I was not expecting all these options. This item passed my expectations in appearance as well as function. Just make sure you have a firm shelf to put this frame on, as it is not a cheap piece of plastic, it's quite heavy and well built. This is a quality product anyone would be happy to display in their home or office. I plan on buying another one in Black for another room.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Picture Frame, October 22, 2011

This review is from: Cagic C8-MAHOGANY 8.4-Inch TFT LCD Digital Picture Frame with TrueVu (Mahogany Wood) (Electronics)

This frame is beautiful! Both my mom and my mother-in-law loved theirs. It's nice and heavy. We want to purchase one for us. I don't know how easy it is to use, but I do know that when my mom got her's, it had glue on the frame. So, my dad called amazon which got him in touch with the person that sells this item, and they reshipped my mom a new one. This isn't the usual procedure that you go through when items are imperfect, but my dad is thankfully old-fashioned - he likes to take care of my mom and make sure she has everythong just right. So, he took care of it all, even though we made the purchase, and I must say that both the seller and the employees at Amazon did a top-notch job in helping my dad get this item replaced with one that looks perfect! I'd buy from this seller again just for the reasons of customer service and the great product the person sells! Great job all the way around.
