Digital Picture Frames
by Editors of ConsumerReports.org
by Editors of ConsumerReports.org
Our AssessmentConsumerReports.org examines 31 6- to 10-inch digital photo frames in prices ranging from $60 to $300. Five frames are chosen as recommendations, but two have been discontinued. The article also outlines buying advice and provides a limited number of user reviews on some of the frames.
Digital Photo Frames
by Editors of CNET
by Editors of CNET
Our AssessmentCNET updates its digital photo frames database from time to time. In the last two years, CNET editors have reviewed several frames, but most of them earn middling ratings. No digital frames earn the site's top rating of five stars, and none are granted an Editor's Choice designation. Many top-rated models have been discontinued. Only a few reviews are directly comparative, but a product grid allows for easy comparison of ratings.
Digital Photo Frames
by Editors of PCMag.com
by Editors of PCMag.com
Our AssessmentSimilar to CNET, PCMag.com offers a searchable collection of reviews that can be sorted by rating and the ultimate stamp of approval, Editors' Choice. The Kodak Pulse Digital Photo Frame earns a near-perfect score of 4 out of 5 stars, plus the Editors' Choice stamp. An accompanying article, "How to Buy a Digital Photo Frame," is a round-up of several models (some have since been discontinued). The article offers useful buying advice and recommendations.

by Matthew Steen
by Matthew Steen
Our AssessmentSimilar to ConsumerReports.org, this Australian site does thorough testing on 19 digital frames and provides a comprehensive comparison chart with ratings in several categories including picture quality, ease of use, energy ratings and amount of internal memory. While not all models are available in the U.S., most major manufacturers are represented.
Digital Picture Frame and Photo Frame Reviews
by Editors of DigitalPictureFrameReview.com
by Editors of DigitalPictureFrameReview.com
Our AssessmentThis blog-style website is an excellent resource for recent and thorough reviews of new digital frames. Frames are evaluated with a step-by-step assessment from the box through setup to final display, and are meticulously chronicled by photographs and text. Reviewers offer pros, cons and a bottom line with ratings on a five-star scale and Editor's Choice awards. Unlike CNET and PCMag.com, DigitalPictureFrameReview.com offers no comparison chart or easy way to sort and compare ratings.

by Kathleen Cullen
Our AssessmentThis roundup links to full reviews and test reports by PC World editors on their picks for the 10 best digital photo frames. Many of the models have been discontinued.
The iPad as Digital-Picture Frame
by Terry Sullivan
by Terry Sullivan
Our AssessmentThis blog post reports results of testing on the iPad's digital picture frame feature. The post gives details on ConsumerReports.org's testing process and does a good job highlighting the iPad's strengths and weaknesses in this application. Overall, Terry Sullivan says, "Although the iPad may not be perfect as a photo frame, it's better than virtually any dedicated frame on the market."
Digital Photo Frames
by Editors of Pocket-Lint.com
by Editors of Pocket-Lint.com
Our AssessmentU.K.-based Pocket-Lint.com has a total of 26 digital photo frame reviews, six of which date within the last 15 months. Not all of the reviewed frames are available in the U.S., but the site includes many of the most prominent international brands, such as Kodak and Sony. Reviews cover the basics of operation and image quality, and include excellent photo galleries that show various aspects of each frame. A 10-point rating system is the only real form of comparison on the site, and review detail and quality varies somewhat. In general (perhaps reflecting the development of the digital photo frame market), more recent reviews are superior in detail to earlier ones.
10 Best Digital Photo Frames Reviewed
by Scott Steinberg
by Scott Steinberg
Our AssessmentThis roundup review of 10 digital frames offers no formal rating or ranking system and is not directly comparative. However, vague comparisons (i.e., "you'll be better off with one of the other frames") and an Editor's Pick designation (awarded to three models) help to clarify which frames fare the best. Each frame is evaluated based on aesthetics, ease of setup and use, and display quality. Some models are discontinued.
Kodak vs. Pandigital Photo Frames
by Jefferson Graham
by Jefferson Graham
Our AssessmentThis short but informative review compares the Kodak Pulse to the Pandigital Photo Mail Digital Photo Frame. Both frames have dedicated email addresses for receiving photos. Jefferson Graham strongly favors the Kodak frame saying it is very easy to set up and images are crisp and bright. The Pandigital model, on the other hand, has a more complicated setup and, according to Graham, lesser image quality.
Kodak Pulse 7-inch Digital Photo Frame Review
by Kyle Schurman
by Kyle Schurman
Our AssessmentAbout.com guide Kyle Schurman gives a concise review of the Kodak Pulse, a frame he says is making him rethink his previously negative stance on digital photo frames. Schurman says image quality on the Kodak Pulse is very sharp, though he points out that it highlights blurriness in the original photo. He would have liked to see a battery option and a slightly larger screen. (Note: ConsumerSearch is owned by About.com, but the two don't share an editorial affiliation.)
Digital Picture Frames
by Editors of TechCrunch.com
by Editors of TechCrunch.com
Our AssessmentTechCrunch.com infrequently offers digital photo frame reviews of varying quality, authored by a stable of tech enthusiasts. The best reviews on this site are succinct but still address build quality, usability, features and specifications and offer well-supported conclusions. There is no rating or ranking system, and no easy way to compare frames. The recently reviewed Vizit touch-screen frame gets high praise from reviewer Scott Merrill, and the Ipevo Kaleido R7 also earns favorable remarks.
First Look: Fujifilm's 3D Digital Picture Frame
by Terry Sullivan
by Terry Sullivan
Our AssessmentBlogger Terry Sullivan gives his take on preliminary testing of the Fujifilm FinePixReal 3D V.1 digital frame concluding that the $500 price tag is "too high a premium to pay even for a breakthrough feature." Testing includes comparing the viewing experience with that of a Panasonic HDTV with 3D capability.
Digital Picture Frames
by Editors of ConsumerGuide.com
by Editors of ConsumerGuide.com
Our AssessmentConsumerGuide.com reviews eight digital photo frames, giving Best Buy designations to three, all of which are now discontinued. Unfortunately, there have been no new reviews in this category since October 2007.
Digital Frames
by Contributors to Amazon.com
by Contributors to Amazon.com
Our AssessmentReviews for digital photo frames at Amazon.com shed some light on usability. Owners have a hard time getting digital frames to work, and the frames often don't perform as well as expected. Submitted ratings and reviews vary from thorough to paltry, and Amazon's rating system doesn't account for the number of reviews. As a result, there are a number of frames with perfect scores, but the score is based on just a single reviewer, while other frames with hundreds of reviews come in with slightly lower ratings. Kodak stands out as having the best-rated digital frames (with consistent scores of 4 out of 5) with more than two reviews.
Digital Picture Frames
by Contributors to TigerDirect.com
by Contributors to TigerDirect.com
Our AssessmentTechnology retailer TigerDirect.com allows customers to submit reviews of products. As with all user-review sites, the quality of customer feedback varies wildly. Two budget-friendly frames, the Hannspree SD7021 7-inch Digital Frame and the Synaps 7-inch Digital Frame, stand out for consistently good reviews from a large number of consumers. Both of these frames sell for around $40 and do not have as many features as higher priced models. Some reviewers are dissatisfied with inferior picture quality but others find them to be surprisingly good values.
Sony Dash
by Donald Bell
by Donald Bell
Our AssessmentCNET's Donald Bell says the best part of the Sony Dash is its bright, crisp LCD screen but this "Internet Viewer" as it is called by Sony, is designed to stream a personalized collection of music, video and web content, in addition to photos. Bell says that despite its many functions, none stands out as exceptional.
Sony S-Frame DPP- F700 Review
by Michael Browne
by Michael Browne
Our AssessmentThis U.K.-based technology blog gives a short review on the Sony DPP-F700 which is a combination digital photo frame and photo printer. Blogger Michael Browne says images on the 7-inch screen are sharp and while prints "can't really compete with full-sized photo printers," they are not meant to, and the 800 by 480 dpi is "certainly on par with images from a shop."
Digital Photo/Picture Frame Reviews
by Editors of Digital-PhotoFrames.org
by Editors of Digital-PhotoFrames.org
Our AssessmentThis quirky British site's value is primarily in its category organization, which allows users to sort reviewed frames based on screen size or brand name. However, its database of reviews is small and they consist of descriptions that seem to be based solely on manufacturer specifications with no indication that the editors have actually touched, much less tested, each model. There is no rating or ranking system, and no comparisons are made between frames.
Digital Camera Reviews
by Editors of MacLife.com
by Editors of MacLife.com
Our AssessmentMacLife.com reviews a few digital frames each year and includes them in the same category as their digital camera reviews. Reviews are very brief and touch on the highs and lows of each product with little description of specifications or general features. Comparisons to other models are infrequent, and there's no rating or ranking system in place. No clear best-performing frame emerges from these evaluations. We find this site difficult to navigate, and it's most useful when you have a specific model number to search.
