4 Stars Great frame for the price.
Amazon recently had a one day sale where they had this frame for under $70.00. I bought the frame at that time and have not been dissapointed. It is very easy to setup the frame and it does what it is supposed to do.
It does not have any of the fancy features the newer frames have (WIFI, connection to Picasa etc.), but if you want a frame that displays the photos you have, and displays them in amazing color, then this is the frame for you.
I recommend resizing your photos before copying them to the frame. I typically resize to 3×5 at 72 pixels/inch. Since I always have the calendar on, so this is optimal for me. Also if renaming your photos, use standard naming conventions. Try not to have spaces or special characters etc. in the file name.
Some people said they could not display photos edited in Photoshop. I do all my editing in Photoshop and or Lightroom and I have had no issues with displaying my photos.
5 Stars Great for the price
I like the frame overall. If you have your own memory cards, you can just save images to it then insert the card on the proper slot on the frame and your are set, no need to make folders or special paths for the frame to find. I would like it if it had an USB input, it only have a miniUSB that is used to connect to a computer to save images to the internal memory which is only 256MB. It will not play images from internal and external memory, only one or the other. So when you order it make sure that you get a memory card as well. The power plug is 100-220V, so that is great for us since we are military abroad, I didn’t need any external power transformer. I’ve had it for about 3 weeks and we only turned it off a couple nights, its been on 24/7 almost the entire time we’ve had it and it shuffles the images well enough to not show the same image twice before all are displayed, or at least that I have noticed. The price was excellent for a Sony product, I got it on sale, but even at regular price is excellent compared to other frames of same size with less memory or features. You can stand the frame vertical or horizontally and the frame knows how to present the picture upright with no input from you.
4 Stars Perfect companion on my desk
This was actually an impulse buy for me, and the only regret I have is not saving $30 by buying it online. The D70 has quite a few features on top of its modern and classy looks. There are several modes you can view your photos in: Full screen, calendar view, clock view (although when displayed the clock shows the time the pic was taken, not actual time), multiple pics, or just random. Or if you choose not to view photos all all you can simply have the time (analog or digital) or a calendar displayed. The resolution of the screen is very nice and pictures are represented with excellent color with no visible washout, nor do they come out too dark. You have the option of turning the illuminated SONY logo (located at the bottom of the frame) off if you so choose. I like having that option. It includes a remote, but I find the IR to be a little finicky. There is a timer, so you can choose when it auto turns on and off. You can view the pictures at random with transitions. The random is not very good though. You will often see repeat pictures before it cycles through them all. Also when the device is turned on, it always starts at the same picture. The transition time is weird also, well only 2 time blocks actually. It goes from 5 mins to 30 mins, with nothing in between, or 3 or 12 hours. My personal preference is every 15 mins, but I deal with 30.
I think it’s a great frame so I’m not too upset I paid retail price for it. I’d recommend it.
3 Stars Sony 7″ S Frame
I expected a larger picture surface; I bought this to give as a gift and I will keep it instead. It works and is suitable for personal use.
