This frame worked for 6 months and then wouldn't turn on no matter what I did. I had saved my receipt, and I called Coby customer service and was told (by the most bored customer service rep ever) that the warranty was for 90 days and that I had no options. I will do my homework before buying another digital picture frame, and purchase one with a better warranty.

the pixels on this screen are about 1/4" on a side... very poor picutre quality!

I did'nt like this because the sharpness and the vibrant colors were not there as if I was to view it on my computer. It did not operate well with my photo program.

This is certainly the "value" product in the photo frame line up. It looks good and works well, though I did find that the resolution was not quite what I had hoped it would be. I guess you get what you pay for in that respect.

It's a good product that works and my Grandmother was thrilled to receive it loaded up with family photos. You do need to purchase a memory card separately, or you can insert most types of camera memory sticks into it directly. There is no internal memory, it just works like a card-reader. If you purchase a blank memory card, you can hook it up to your computer using the cable provided and transfer images from your files to the card. This is a bit slow, but it works just fine.

I'd give five stars if there were better resolution on the screen.

The picture frame is very nice. I simply put a memory stick in and it shows all my pictures in a slide show. I would even buy it as a gift for someone. The only thing is that it is made of plastic. I would probably buy something in a different material. But all in all it's a great frame.

I bought 2, one for a present, one for myself. It looks great, works well, and the remote control is handy.

Pros:
* Well constructed
* Can be portrait or landscape
* Remote control makes it easier to use than fumbling with the buttons on the unit
* Support for many different card types simultaneously
* Support for audio and video as well as pictures

Some cons:
* The instructions suck
* There is no internal memory (but the cost is low)
* Was unable to get video's to work
* Cannot, as far as I can tell, combine video and pictures, but I think I could work around that using Windows Vista's movie maker

Great product at a great price. I had seen this same frame in a popular photo store for double the price...and that was a so called (sale). Very happy with the product and price.

The photo frame was purchased as a Christmas gift and as such has not been given; but being inquisitive; I opened the box to see how it works. I am glad I did because it simple will not work without the additional purchase of a memory card.

Would be nice if the advertising would include this information. Would have save me a trip to the Mall.

Great digital photo frame. Gave it to my Dad for Father's Day and it works great and he loves it too

This is a great idea! I just am unable to use it yet, after about a month of ownership, three calls to COBY, and two different attempts at downloading a codec that will allow this product to work. I wanted to use this as a promotional video tool for promoting a product that I need to have available with me as I deliver a pitch for operations.

It does not do .avi in my current form, nor can it read my mp4 file. I am going to try another download from the company today. I have had really good, courteous service from their people when I called. I suspect that it will work, I just wish that it could be an easier process!

I first tried an 8GB CF card, I was told that the frame recognizes only a maximum of 2GB, so I purchased a 2Gb SD/MMC card, still not working. I have a COBY 7' frame only and it was a breeze to use, so I purchased a COBY 8' frame w/mp3 player and gave it as a gift, I hope that my recipient is having an easier time than I am!

Again, I want to say that so far the service is very good! Just the results are poor, so far.
