This review is from: Ziga DF800W-ZKKUS 8-Inch Digital Frame with Wi-Fi Connection, Built-in Battery and Full Multimedia FunctionI think this product is just OK. Like the prevous reviewers I agree that the frame looks quite nice and is fairly easy to use. Now here is the downside with one caveat: since this is my first digital picture frame I do not know what the others are like1) The WIFI only downloads through Picasa and a couple of other services using the public folder. I would have thought that it could get pictures directly from a folder on my PC, but it will not. Using the public folder gives strangers access to your pictures as well.2) You have to tell it to go get new pictures. I had hoped the WIFI would allow it to randomly update the collection of photos stored in memory but it does not.3) It does not play a random slideshow, just goes through the photos in sequence4) My frame emits a high pitch whine at times that is a little annoying5) The remote control does not work very well.6) WIFI only downloads to internal flash memory. It would have been nice if it could have downloaded to SD or complact flash cards you install in the frameWhile I purchased this frame because it was the only product that advertised WIFI and an internal battery, I now feel the WIFI part of this frame is nearly useless and you are better off just loading pictures into a portable memory with your computer and then putting that into the frame. When you look at the other frames available at Amazon in this size range, the price is hardly justifiable when the WIFI is so useless...

This review is from: Ziga DF800W-ZKKUS 8-Inch Digital Frame with Wi-Fi Connection, Built-in Battery and Full Multimedia FunctionJust got this digital photo frame this week and thought I'd share my experiences so far... Despite the fact that these photo frame gizmos have been around for awhile, this is my first time to play with one of these devices. This review is going to a bit rambling...To start off here is "What is in the box":* The digital photo frame* Remote control unit* USB cable* Power transformer* Optional detachable stand* Software CD* Instruction bookletThe main reason I bought this particular item was for its impressive multimedia features. Not only does it display photos / images, it also plays MP3s (music files), and MP4s (video files). This particular unit also interfaces wirelessly to a network via WiFi, but since I don't currently have a wireless network (no broadband internet either) - so I haven't played with that aspect of the device (sorry).Physical description:The size of the device itself is roughly 9 ½" x 7" x 1". The display area is 8" diagonally - which is around 6 1/4" x 4 ¾" for those of you who would rather know HxW. Along the right side of the face of the frame, there are eight touch sensitive control buttons. These buttons are hard to see when they are not active and backlit - so when not in use, they are hardly noticeable. I found the buttons to be very sensitive - to the point of almost not even needing to touch the surface of the face.On the back of the frame there is a standard keyhole which can be used to hang the frame on a wall - but given that there is just the one hole, the only orientation option is landscape. Also on the back is the power switch, which is cleverly built into one of the corners of the frame. There is a small green LED adjacent to the power switch, which lights when the unit is on.Along the left side of the frame, there are connection points for headphones, a miniature USB jack (for connecting the frame to a PC), a full size USB jack for thumb drives, and last a jack for plugging in the power transformer.One the top of the frame there is hatch which opens to reveal slots to insert a wide variety of flash memory cards. Also there is an extremely small switch which turns on/off the battery - and when I say small, I had to use the point of a toothpick to slide the switch from Off to On.Ok, that is the gist of what the frame looks like - here are some things about how it works and such. In no particular order:First off - taking the unit out of the box it came in and reading the booklet you are told to plug in the transformer and power up the frame. Which I did - problem was, the unit didn't seem to want to turn on. And the power plug seemed to be prone to pulling out of the jack. I then tried switching on the battery (first finding a toothpick to do that). The unit came on fine working off the battery. I suspected that maybe I got a bad transformer. I noticed that it was the same voltage as transformer for my PSP, so I tried plugging the power plug into it. It powered the PSP fine, so no problem there - I again tried plugging the power plug into the jack on the frame - this time firmly pushing it in till I felt a slight `pop'. That was the trick; apparently I didn't have the plug pushed completely into the jack.Memory: The unit I bought has 1GB of built-in memory. I didn't install any of the software that came with the unit, but I had no problems accessing the internal memory via the supplied USB cable. Also while I had the frame interfaced to my PC with the cable, the memory card I had inserted into one of the slots on top of the frame was accessible too.Picture quality: I was impressed with the quality and brightness of the image of the 800x600 display. I read somewhere that it was a good idea to resize your images to match that of the photo frame - I tried that and there ...
