This digital photo frame, provided to me by the Amazon Vine program, is a good little item for gifts to relatives where you really don't want to break the bank. It's my second photo frame, and it performs well and holds as many photos as you can fit on your memory card. Here's my take on it:
PROS:
1. The dark brown wood frame with a (darkish) beige mat presents a clean, elegant look that's very nice for setting on a desk or coffee table.
2. The display is bright and shows photos to their best advantage.
3. You can set the brightness, contrast, and color to suit your taste.
4. I can see the pixels up close but not from a few feet away.
5. No need to turn the frame; vertical photos are shown correctly (although much smaller than horizontal ones).
CONS:
1. Packing was not dense enough to keep my frame from arriving with a dent in the wood.
2. Although the frame is 7 inches diagonally, the actual opening on my frame is 3 1/2 by 6 inches. This means that photos often display cropped in very odd ways. To deal with this, set your photo size on your image software (such as Photoshop), so that you, rather than the frame, decide the cropping.
Photo purists may be bothered by the low resolution this frame offers, but for the average user, this frame is a real deal for a low price.
Four stars!
