1.0 out of 5 stars SunPak 15" Digital Photo Frame - Don't waste your money, June 19, 2009

This review is from: Sunpak 15-Inch Digital Photo Frame with 1GB Memory (Electronics)

Initially, I loved this digital photo frame. The pictures were sharp and clear. The only downside was that the slide show plays in the order that your pictures are on the memory card (there is no random shuffle) and there is no automatic on/off timer. But I was ok with that...UNTIL...after about 6 months, the display got progressively darker and eventually faded out entirely. Assuming I had a defective unit, I exchanged this one for another one. It's been about 10 months now and it's DOING THE SAME THING! To make matters worse, my friend has also owned two of these frames and they both did the same thing, eventually having no display at all. Four units purchased over the course of 18 months, all meeting the same untimely death? Something is wrong with this product!

This review is from: Sunpak 15-Inch Digital Photo Frame with 1GB Memory (Electronics)

My in-laws purchased this digital frame for me as a Christmas present last year. Although the frame already has 1 dead pixel, the image quality is great. I really enjoy have such a large screen with such high quality on my desk at my office.

The downside to this frame is that it will only display images in alphabetical order. There is NO RANDOM function to allow random-playback of your photos. I'm really surprised that such a simple option is not available, and when I emailed Sunpak about it, they replied with a "sorry" standard email back. Would be nice if they would make a flash update available with a random play feature.

It is also very slow and tedious trying to copy images to the internal memory. The USB link did not work for me, and copying images from a memory card in a "image-by-image" ordeal. Yes, you literally have to select an image, then navigate the menu to copy it to the internal memory, then navigate back to the memory card and the next image. There is no way to do a batch copy of all your images to the internal memory! So, I have placed my images on an SD card and plug it in... the frame plays those with no problems (FAT/FAT32 only, does NOT read NTFS)- in alphabetical order.

So, I love the images playing on the frame.
I'm frustrated at my lack of control over playing those images!
I would not buy this frame again... I would make sure that I can get a frame with a random-play mode for any future frames.

Seemed just what we needed. All we wanted was a changing photo from SD memory cards to catch the attention of our elementary school children. It was easy to use, and provided a good clear picture for 6 months.

It did not work with one SD card, but it seems this was probably something to do with the card although the card worked well enough in a computer.

Then about 2 months ago the frame started to just not turn on. Initially if the power was left on it might start up, but now it rarely will go on and only after over many manipulations of the wires and plugs and adapter. Just suddenly it seems to work. I thought it might just be the adapter but it tested out OK at a battery shop. The odd thing is that if it will go on, it works fine, but if your turn it off it won't go on again. This has made it pretty much useless for our purposes.
