2.4-Inch Display Screen
This portable pocket-size frame can fit in the palm of your hand and can easily be transported with you wherever you go. The two-and-a-half-inch screen shows-off your pictures with the same crisp quality that you receive from high-quality prints. The full color display offers vibrant, bright colors that provide optimum contrast, allowing you to view your pictures in their natural state. Your memories will be displayed exactly as they were when your pictures were taken.

Three Easy Steps
Displaying pictures on the digital frame takes three easy steps. Simply remove the memory card from your camera, insert the card into the frame and view your photos. There is no need to upload and edit your pictures on a computer.

Slideshow
Once the memory card is inserted into frame, pictures are automatically displayed as a slideshow. The speed of the slide show can be adjusted to various speeds and you can add different transition effects. If you have a favorite picture you want to show-off, you can set the digital frame to display one picture continuously.

Viewing Modes
The mode button allows you to adjust how your pictures will be displayed on the screen.

Normal view: pictures fit on the display screen without any stretching or cropping. Photos that are smaller than the size of the screen will be displayed with black bars on the edges.

Crop View: pictures will be enlarged to fill the screen without stretching them. For pictures that do not match the size of the screen, the top and bottom will not be visible.

Picture Files
This digital photo frame is compatible with JPEG files. Most digital cameras will save pictures in this format by default. Pictures that are not in JPEG format, such as web, scanned or RAW images, cannot be displayed on the digital photo frame. However, these images can be converted to the JPEG format for the digital photo frame using specific computer applications.

Connectivity
The frame has a USB port as well as a built-in memory card slot. You can use the USB to easily download pictures from your computer to the frame. Or use the built-in memory card slot to easily transfer your memory card from your camera to the frame. You can increase the amount of pictures that can be displayed by increasing the size of the memory cards being used.

Power
The built-in battery is charged automatically when connected to a PC or Mac with the supplied USB cable. You can save energy by adjusting the power saving options and with the automatic power-off feature.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good product but..., March 11, 2010

Easy to use, good picture, but there are a few flaws.

First, there is no external power source. It runs off of an internal USB rechargeable battery that only last 2 hours. However, I've managed to get around that by keeping it plugged into a USB port on my computer all the time. Not a big deal if you have an available USB port.

Second, you can't add pictures directly to the frame's SD card simply by plugging in the frame to your USB port. Again, not a big deal for me since I have an SD slot on my computer, but I still would have liked to have had that option.

Third, and this is the major issue for me, the frame is not gray as it appears in the picture, it is a very shiny mirror. So reflective, it actually makes viewing difficult unless you hold it at just the right angle.

I purchased this for my wife to use at her desk at work so she could share some of her favorite photos. I purchased this unit mainly for 2 reasons, the price and this unit works on a rechargable battery and does not need to be plugged into a wall outlet power source.

There is no mistaking this digital frame is no high end model but it does work nicely for my wife at work. The battery life is not the best but she plugs it in via the USB cable to recharge it at work. The screen quality is not bad and downright good for the price point of this unit. Be aware it is not very big but it works well on a crowded desktop. It does have it's quirks such as you can not accesess or edit pitcures on the built memory or SD card via the USB cable plugged into your computer. You have to edit/add/delete photos seperatly on a card reader or other device and can only delete/add photos via the buttons on the unit itself. We are using an SD card with it so the we do not bother with the internal memory. The area surrounding the digital screen is also highly reflective silver and not the grey painted surface the picture shows it to be.

All in all it's a basic little digital photo frams that gets the job done. Not one you want to hang proudly on your living wall but a neat little desk item. It is worth the money depending on the use you have in mind for it in my oppion.

At its size, this made a good stocking stuffer for Christmas, but it still really requires an external power supply that makes it cumbersome. All in all, I would probably avoid purchasing an item this size and simply buy a larger one as no one would really want to look at a screen that small regardless...perhaps children?
