I've been on the market for picture frame after purchasing an affordable kodak picture frame for my girlfriend. I decided our apartment was not going to be like my aunt's where there is a family picture lining every wall in the home. I wanted something that could look good even turned off. This is it. Of course Sony brings their aesthetic talents to create sophisticated beautiful looking frame. The picture frame is solid glossy black and the Sony logo glows bright white when turned on. You also have the option of turning off the logo if it cramps your style. The picture quality is crystal clear, bright and sharp even on my old scanned photos. The viewing options are plentiful and fade in and out flawlessly kind of drawing you in the show. I love the calender and clock settings which gives this frame a practical use. You can choose only the calendar, only the clock or both with pictures at the same time on a side box.
Now the bad: It not only requires a power cord but the end has a buldge wich made it very hard for me to conceal the power cord on my bookcase. I had to hide the power cord since it would not slip in through the cracks on the back of my bookcase. This also makes it a no go for coffee table. It's very noticible when it's out in the open. Luckily I hid it very well and it's not noticible in my case. The only other bad point is the price. It is quite expensive for picture fram but you can clearly see why. It's so sophisticated looking that it looks expnsive. The lcd looks like it's thick glass and the black frame is glossy. No doubt the materials used were quality materials.
If you have the money, I highly recommend it. Also, I bought this on the Sony website for 139.00. As usual amazon comes out with a deal after I buy it. So if you do buy it, buy it from amazon.

As others have said, this has the best image quality I've seen on a frame (better than lots of cheaper lcd tvs actually). It is night and day better than our previous frame. The border is clean, and the frame looks very smooth. My only complaint (recommendation to others considering this purchase) would be to consider the 8 inch over the 7 if you just plan to copy pictures over from your camera. I prefer the image to fill up the frame, and since the 7inch ratio is 15:9 I had to crop the images to get them to fit the frame fully without any black borders. The 8 and 10 inch frames use a 4:3 ratio, which is the same as both of ours (and I assume most) digital cameras, without the need for adjustment.
Another suggestion to those considering just using the internal memory is to batch resize the photos, so instead of taking up 3-5Mb a picture with a higher res camers (this only fits around 100 pictures on the 512Mb internal, and 1/2 that on the 256) the images will only take up around 100k. You can do this easily by searching for the XP Powertoys Image resizer for WinXP, or Prish Resizer for Vista. Then you can select all your photos at once, and resize them all to 800x600 (the resolution of the 8 and 10 inch, and the x-resolution of the 7inch). This will save you lots of space, and let you pack a lot more pictures on sony's relativly small internal memory, and you will not see a difference in the image quality, since sony has to downsize the image on display anyway to make it fit the 800x600, or 800x480 for 7inch frames.

The pros:
In the somewhat new digital picture frame market Sony got it right.
The frame looks like just about any other Sony product: tastefully done with a simple and polished design and outstanding quality. The interior box might as well be used for jewelery with its silver logo imprint and glossy finish.
The frame itself has a surprising number of features (clock, calendar, display modes, transition modes, mixed modes, and so on) for a "low end" frame, but at the same time is ready to work right out of the box. The back lit logo looks gorgeous (and can be turned off too) and the remote (yes, a remote) is slick and covers all functions available. There is an array of media slots in the back to accommodate most digital camera storage card types; i.e. pull out of your camera, insert in the frame, and press play. It is that simple. For those "weird" formats, there is a mini USB port, so you are covered in all circumstances. Of course the most important part, the screen, is just Sony-style amazing, especially considering the price. Back light and contrast adjustments are also there.
The cons:
On a few pictures the colors seemed almost unnaturally bright. In Sony's defense: those were taken with a Canon. My Sony camera, understandably, seems to just "love" the frame. The wide screen format might require some tweaking of some of your pictures to fill the screen. In any case, if you are the lazy type, there are zoom/stretch options to do the job for you. The one thing that just caught me off guard: there is no USB cable included with the frame. Just because everything works with USB these days, does not mean that everyone has a mini USB handy (I used the one from my cell phone to test the device)!
In short: I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
