I was very disappointed with this purchase. First, the screen has a glass that reflects light, so if you put it in a well lit place chances are you will not be able to see your pictures, or will be very annoyed trying to avoid reflection.Second, it does not have a USB input, so forget about using your 16 mb pen drive. If you are like me with over 5000 pics, you will be forced to buy another Sony memory stick (if you prefer not to run the risk of grabbing your camera and oops, no memory card because you forgot it in the frame.).
Look no further. This frame is by far the best one out there. Initially I had a problem with some of my Photoshop'd pics but I read you just have to resave them and uncheck the progressive box. After that they all worked beautifully.
I don't know how a company with such a big name can create such a poor algorithm for showing random photos. The frame overall is good. Repetitive display of its "favorite" images makes it sometimes annoying.IR sensor. I don't even need many features it has. Yet some features it has need improvement.CONS:Randomization. Works fine, but you need to aim at it otherwise you can miss.If you saved your images using some software that adapts them for internet (so-called progressive scan) then the frame will not recognize them. The same will happen with some images downloaded from internet.PROS: Overall it works, looks nice even might be a bit overpriced.
Advertised 500 photo capacity is based on 1.5 megapixel photo, great if all you do is take photos on your phone. Always a Sony fan. Transfers from my folder which contained photos from 6.5MB down to 65.1KB totaled 75 photos before the aprox. Best resolution and one of the best looking frames on the market. HOWEVER, tranfering from PC to frame requires you to have a "miniB-Type USB cable". 220MB frame memory was full. Also appears that transfers from my Sony Cybershot requires you to pull the memory card and no slot for cable transfer.
It has an elegant and timeless design that you will feel comfortable displaying anywhere. This is a great digital camera to give as a gift to someone special. Sure, the price is a bit steep, but you definitely get your money's worth. And, it's easy to use. Within an hour my husband and I had it loaded with his favorite pictures.
