Sony DPF-D70 Highlights
Easy two-step operation. The S-Frame offers easy, convenient operation for all users. All you need do is follow a simple two-step procedure: First, shoot a photo and save to memory; second, insert the memory media into the S-Frame and enjoy your photos..
 |
- Full-function remote control All the functions of the S-Frame can be operated by the compact remote control that provides maximum functionality with amazing ease of use. There are no complicated set-up or difficult operating procedures with the S-Frame.
- One-button control The "View Mode" button, on both the remote control and main body, provides simple and convenient functionality. Simply pressing this one button lets you switch view options within each of the four display modes: Slideshow, Index, Still image, and Clock & calendar. For example, you can switch from "single," "multi-image," "clock," or "calendar" to "random" view in Slideshow mode, and from "analogue" to "digital" in Clock mode.
Automatic rotation of images The photo frame automatically rotates images to their proper orientation. Images are also automatically rotated when the photo frame is set in either the portrait or landscape position.
True-to-life detail Every nuance of the original image is faithfully reproduced on the S-Frame thanks to the high-quality WVGA LCD. The 1.15 megapixel high-definition Clear Photo LCD renders tremendously detailed, realistic images that have vivid colors and contrast, and a sense of naturalness so real that you feel you could reach into the photo and touch what you see.
Fit to screen, or full image--it's your choice The S-Frame offers both fit-to-screen and full-image modes. In fit-to-screen mode, the aspect ratio of the image is adjusted so that the image fills the entire screen. In full-image mode, the image is displayed in the original horizontal-to-vertical ratio, surrounded by margins on all four sides. The DPF-D70 offers a 16:9 aspect ratio.
Future camera milestone ready The S-Frame can display images of up to 48 megapixels, which supports most compact and DSLR cameras, a significant design breakthrough realized by the foresight of Sony--a leader in the digital imaging industry.

Handles large data files The S-Frame can also handle data files up to 100MB in size. This means that image files that have been edited on a PC, which tends to increase file size, can be displayed smoothly.
Room for all your memories The large internal memory offers room to store hundreds of your most precious memories. The DPFD70 has a 256MB internal memory that holds up to 500 images. The S-Frame enables you to save the data saved in its internal memory to other memory cards.
Fast beyond expectations What's even more impressive about the S-Frame is that it does all this quickly, without the frustration of waiting ages for images to load. All S-Frames offer fast image decoding, eliminating the frustration of waiting ages for images to load from memory cards or the internal memory. On models equipped with a BIONZ processor, this speed is truly phenomenal and even a 12-megapixel photo taken on a Cyber-shot W200 can be displayed in just 1.7 seconds. (For the D70 without BIONZ, images are displayed in 1.9 seconds.)
Create original photo albums The S-Frame offers you an endless variety of ways to create your own unique digital photo albums for yourself and friends. The photo album function copies data in memory cards, automatically resizing photos to optimum image size (equivalent to 1.5 megapixels) and storing them in the album's large internal memory, ready for instant replay.
The gift that keeps on giving One of the greatest joys you can give someone is a never-fading memory of a shared experience, or one that they missed. The S-Frame makes a perfect time capsule of such treasured moments. Simply load one with memories, repack it and send it to friends or family. All the receiver has to do is take the S-Frame out of the box and turn it on, and a pre-programmed slideshow will start automatically. The joy of giving was never easier.

For the effort...
I will add pro's and con's at the end of this message. First I would like to say that this frame caught my eye when I was shopping for a Christmas present for my sister and her husband. This is my first photo frame but I have purchased three, Sony being the one I purchased for myself. I really like the small size of the frame and I especially like that the frame is not three dimensional (i.e. regular wood, plastic or metal frames with glass protector) but one piece with a plastic covering and the digital viewer inside. I shopped around for several: HP, Kodak, Hanspree... but found that this frame best suited my needs. Now fo the pro's and con's:
Pro's:
-Sony brand
-Small compact size, making it one piece
-All the features including the multipicture viewing, clock, calendar and random playback
-Automatic image orientation
-remote
Con's:
-Sony brand, which means Sony price...
-Lack of MP3 playback
-Lack of Video playback (My mothers Target brand frame I got her had these features and I bought it for her when digital frames were just coming out! Sony had how many years to remedy this??)
-AC Adapter placement in the back of the frame (it is practically placed right where the prop up stand is located making it sort of a headache to navigate the cord and stand)
-Random feature very often plays pictures you've just viewed. I have nearly 400 pictures in my frame and it plays the same several photos more often than the ones I have not seen)
-Lack of Shuffle feature
Elegant beautiful centerpiece with amazing picture quality.
I've been on the market for picture frame after purchasing an affordable kodak picture frame for my girlfriend. I decided our apartment was not going to be like my aunt's where there is a family picture lining every wall in the home. I wanted something that could look good even turned off. This is it. Of course Sony brings their aesthetic talents to create sophisticated beautiful looking frame. The picture frame is solid glossy black and the Sony logo glows bright white when turned on. You also have the option of turning off the logo if it cramps your style. The picture quality is crystal clear, bright and sharp even on my old scanned photos. The viewing options are plentiful and fade in and out flawlessly kind of drawing you in the show. I love the calender and clock settings which gives this frame a practical use. You can choose only the calendar, only the clock or both with pictures at the same time on a side box.
Now the bad: It not only requires a power cord but the end has a buldge wich made it very hard for me to conceal the power cord on my bookcase. I had to hide the power cord since it would not slip in through the cracks on the back of my bookcase. This also makes it a no go for coffee table. It's very noticible when it's out in the open. Luckily I hid it very well and it's not noticible in my case. The only other bad point is the price. It is quite expensive for picture fram but you can clearly see why. It's so sophisticated looking that it looks expnsive. The lcd looks like it's thick glass and the black frame is glossy. No doubt the materials used were quality materials.
If you have the money, I highly recommend it. Also, I bought this on the Sony website for 139.00. As usual amazon comes out with a deal after I buy it. So if you do buy it, buy it from amazon.
Best picture, not optimal pixel ratio
As others have said, this has the best image quality I've seen on a frame (better than lots of cheaper lcd tvs actually). It is night and day better than our previous frame. The border is clean, and the frame looks very smooth. My only complaint (recommendation to others considering this purchase) would be to consider the 8 inch over the 7 if you just plan to copy pictures over from your camera. I prefer the image to fill up the frame, and since the 7inch ratio is 15:9 I had to crop the images to get them to fit the frame fully without any black borders. The 8 and 10 inch frames use a 4:3 ratio, which is the same as both of ours (and I assume most) digital cameras, without the need for adjustment.
Another suggestion to those considering just using the internal memory is to batch resize the photos, so instead of taking up 3-5Mb a picture with a higher res camers (this only fits around 100 pictures on the 512Mb internal, and 1/2 that on the 256) the images will only take up around 100k. You can do this easily by searching for the XP Powertoys Image resizer for WinXP, or Prish Resizer for Vista. Then you can select all your photos at once, and resize them all to 800x600 (the resolution of the 8 and 10 inch, and the x-resolution of the 7inch). This will save you lots of space, and let you pack a lot more pictures on sony's relativly small internal memory, and you will not see a difference in the image quality, since sony has to downsize the image on display anyway to make it fit the 800x600, or 800x480 for 7inch frames.
