This review is from: Pandigital 8.0-Inch Digital Photo Frame w/2 Interchangeable Frames & 128MB Built-in MemoryI see all these bad reviews listed and I think to myself, "Did they get the same product I got?" I picked mine up from a major Big Box retailer, one you have to be a member of, and no, this one doesn't own Wal-Mart as well, it is the other big one! Better price than listed here also.To the heart of the matter, I plugged in the included USB cable, my computer popped up a notice about new hardware being found, shortly after this, I opened My Computer and saw a new hard drive listed as Pandigital. This of course was the onboard memory of the Pandigital PhotoFrame. I moved all the shipping images off to a folder on my hard drive, then started copying photos from my PC to the Pandigital drive. While I was at it, I also copied over a few instrumental mp3 files. When file copy was done, I removed the cable, pointed remote at the PhotoFrame and clicked on Start Slideshow, to my amazement, the photos started cycling and the MP3 files played softly in the background. Using the volume control on the remote, I was able to set the volume just where I wanted it. The pictures are all very well lit, colors look true to life, just as if they were real photos. My 83 year old mom remarked, "How do you get the photos in there, from the back? She thought they were actual printed photos.I think this is a very well thought out frame , better features than the highly touted Philips frames, and for a lot less money! The included decorative frames, dark Ebony wood or clear acrylic should go with almost any decor and the neatly designed remote fits right in the CompactFlash slot when not in use.I used Photoshop to size all my photos to 800 x 600 (or 600 by whatever for portrait shots), using pre-recorded actions and automation features I as able to resize them all and compress them for best file size (used "Save for Web" feature to optimize all my photos). They all look great, and at these sizes, I could get several hundred photos on the included onboard memory of 128mb.If you bought one of these before and were unhappy, try picking one up again, I don't think you will be dissapointed!An onboard battery would be nice, but for most it will reside in one place on a table top, for these places, the enclosed A/C adapter will do fine (there is no battery power for this unit, A/C only!)The included speakers were not too loud, but reproduced the music accurately and were loud enough to provide a soothing soundtrack to the slideshow. I watched for over an hour straight, amazed at how well all the photos looked.If you have a digital camera, you owe it to yourself to buy a digital photo frame, finally your images are unlocked from inside your computer or those tiny flash memory devices. Most women I talk to say they hate digital cameras because they want real photos they can hold and see, well now they can.I love my Pandigital frame!...

This review is from: Pandigital 8.0-Inch Digital Photo Frame w/2 Interchangeable Frames & 128MB Built-in MemoryI purchased the Kodak SV1011 and Pandigital DPF80-2 photo frames recently during my business trip to USA. Paid 169.99 for SV1011 and 139.99 for PAN80-2 (in store price excl tax, not mail order). Both models have universal voltage AC adapters so it works outside USA.The SV1011 is not actually a 16:9 display. If you check the specification from Kodak website, the display area is 8.9 × 5.3 in. (225 × 135 mm) - that's 15:9. 800 x 480 also means it's a 15:9 display, unless the pixels are not square.I am not a professional photographer but my main camera is Canon EOS 5D with a few L lenses. I capture in RAW and convert & scale the images to JPEG using Canon DPP s/w. For the SV1011, I tried scaling it to 15:9 800 x 480 and 15:9 1600 x 960.The SV1011 has a serious problem with its scaling engine. When fed with images at its native resolution of 800 x 480, the picture looks very soft. I can also easily see jagged lines. When fed with 1600 x 960 images, the picture looks very sharp. If the image is not scaled to multiple of 800 x 480 (e.g. whatever native resolution that comes out from the camera), sometimes the image does not look good (again, scaling engine problem).I don't have such problem with PAN80-2 - the scaling engine is perfect. I get the sharpest image at its native resolution of 800 x 600 (4:3). Testing with the images created for SV1011, the 800 x 480 images look sharp on PAN80-2. But when displaying pictures with blue sky (e.g. the PanDigital demo picture with the boy holding a kite with blue background), it reveals that the LCD panel of PanDigital does not have enough bits. I guess it's a 6-bit panel, but it does not have enough steps to display the blue sky smoothly. The same picture when displayed on SV1011 shows very smooth blue sky but the edges on the boy's shirt look very jaggy.The PAN80-2 has better color/hue and contrast/brightness control compared to SV1011. Skin tones look pale with the original setting but can be adjusted. The skin tones on SV1011 looks too saturated and cannot be adjusted further except for brightness.The SV1011 has faster USB speed (PAN80-2 USB is really slow) and better GUI for manag...
