Digital Picture Frames: Reviews

Reviewers love the display screen on this no-frills 8-inch Sony digital photo frame, which is notable for its vibrant, saturated colors and crisp images. Experts say the frame's good build quality, decent internal memory… (256 MB, enough for up to 500 pictures) and intuitive, user-friendly set up and navigation place it among the best basic digital photo frames. This frame notably doesn't include Wi-Fi (and the ability to load photos wirelessly), but users are mixed on that feature anyway, saying that wireless-enabled digital picture frames require tricky setup.

Kodak's budget offering makes its mark with reliable, good performance. While it doesn't boast any standout features, this digital photo frame has no major failures, either. Basic plastic construction is sufficiently… solid for typical use, and while most experts don't use Kodak's interchangeable face plates, these can be used to dress up the frame and match your decor. The 480-by-234-pixel display resolution outputs photos that are slightly pixilated at close range but look good from a few feet back. You can set up the frame horizontally or vertically, and mount it on the wall. There's no support for audio or video files and no wireless connectivity, but experts and owners say that the P720 is easy to use. No internal memory means that a MemoryStick, SD/SDHC or xD-PictureCard must be inserted into the frame to display photos.

The W820 is part of Kodak's newest line of EasyShare frames, which boast an impressive list of features: 512 MB of memory to hold as many as 4,000 photos, expansion slots that accommodate virtually all types of memory… cards, support for audio and video, compatibility with popular photo-sharing websites and a variety of web-enabled features such as RSS feeds and display of weather, traffic, sports, news and other updates. What's more, reviews gush over the W820's sharp, crisp photo display with good slideshow options and quick response time. While the frame's Wi-Fi feature lets you load photos wirelessly from a networked computer or the Internet, reviewers say setup can be frustrating and complex. A 10-inch version of this digital photo frame is also available.

Experts rave about the 7-inch Ipevo wireless frame; in fact, there's almost nothing reviewers don't like about it. Image quality is great, the frame itself is classy and modern looking, and wireless setup is easier than… with any other digital picture frame. The Ipevo Kaleido features a novel swiveling display that can rotate for landscape or portrait display modes and is accompanied by programming to automatically orient photos to fit the selected mode. The downside? The price is high for a 7-inch digital photo frame, even if experts do say it's otherwise excellent.
