3.0 out of 5 stars Great for Photos, but. . ., December 22, 2008

This review is from: Opteka DF-TFT8 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 128MB Built-In Memory (Black) (Electronics)

If you are looking for a frame that displays photos very well, and is easy to use -- this one is great for that! The photos look bright and very crisp. I was impressed with that aspect of the frame.

One of the key drivers for me in buying this frame over others is it's ability to display video (AVI) files. My digital video camera natively creates AVI files so I thought this would be a great way to actually display those little 2-minute clips I take while I'm on vacation. Unfortunately despite hours upon hours of tinkering (creating new AVI files in various configurations using video editing software) I am unable to get the frame to properly display AVI files . . . it does play the files, but the audio plays at normal speed while the video plays VERY slowly.

Perhaps there are some AVI files this frame will play just fine, unfortunately the details of what settings are required are not included in the manual or the manufacturer's website. I have emailed customer service, but have not yet received any response.

Additionally I have discovered there is no way to have a slide show that includes both photos and videos -- you can display one or the other, but not both.

For photos only I'd give this frame five stars. . . but the video aspect either doesn't work well, is totally unusable, or is very difficult to use. . . so I take away a star for that plus the manual, website, customer support are very lacking so three stars.

This review is from: Opteka DF-TFT8 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 128MB Built-In Memory (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased this for my husband. He loaded many photos onto the memory card and felt it was easy to load the pictures; Just like loading any other memory card. It performs well and has great picture quality. It is so wonderful watching long-ago taken photos on the digital frame using the slide show feature. I will definitely buy this frame again. I plan on buying another one for Christmas.

This review is from: Opteka DF-TFT8 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame with 128MB Built-In Memory (Black) (Electronics)

I purchased this as a gift for my mother who has no knowledge of computers or electronic gizmos and wishes to have family photos which today are mostly digital.

After a great deal of research checking out all reviews I could find, I decided to go with this unit rather than the others offered so far.

The unit itself is not bad at all. Picture quality to me was fine and the ability to watch camera movie clips with sound was a major plus.

The biggest problem I found was in the user manual. To me the manual is very vague...........especially for someone who has absolutely no knowledge of electronics with menus and settings. It took me quite awhile to figure out just how everything worked and I'm not exactly a novice working with electronics on a day to day basis. In order for my mother to appreciate this gift and not stick it in a drawer or closet, I had to create my own user manual so she could use it when received.

The other issue I have is the fact the box shows various frames you can switch out on this but finding them is another thing. So far I've only been able to locate the base unit in black.

Customer Service? I can't say as I haven't tried; but, go to their site and you cannot find much to help unless you write them.

If not worried about additional frames or not opposed to spending unnecessary time trying to figure things out with the controls and menus, the picture viewer in itself is not a bad little unit. I'm sure my mother will be pleased (hoping she can figure out and follow MY operating instructions).
