Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
SP72 Smartparts 7-Inch Digital Picture Frame
The SP72 digital picture frame offers a classic design with its real wood framing. The dark chocolate color of the wood mixed with the custom designed matting can compliment any room or office.
7-Inch Display Screen
The seven-inch screen shows-off your pictures with the same crisp quality that you receive from high-quality prints. The full color display offers vibrant, bright colors that provide optimum contrast, allowing you to view your pictures in their natural state. Your memories will be displayed exactly as they were when your pictures were taken.
Three Easy Steps
Displaying pictures on the digital frame takes three easy steps. Simply remove the memory card from your camera, insert the card into the frame and view your photos. There is no need to upload and edit your pictures on a computer.
Slideshow
Once the memory card is inserted into the frame, pictures are automatically displayed as a slideshow. The speed of the slide show is automatic. Photos will remain on the screen for about 5 to 20 seconds, depending on the size of the files. Larger files will take longer to load.
Viewing Modes
Pictures can easily be rotated by pressing the rotate button which allows photos to be turned to their correct position for proper viewing. The mode button allows you to adjust how your pictures will be displayed on the screen.
Crop View:, pictures will be enlarged to fill the screen without stretching them. For pictures that do not match the size of the screen, the top and bottom will not be visible.
This digital photo frame is compatible with JPEG files. The JPEG format is in accordance with the camera industry standards and the frame is designed to display photos with the same industry standards. Most digital cameras will save pictures in this format by default. Pictures that are not in JPEG format, such as web, scanned or RAW images, cannot be displayed on the digital photo frame. However, these images can be converted to the JPEG format for the digital photo frame using specific computer applications.

Customer Reviews
Company is horrible to deal with, product dead out of the box, no replacement
Buyer Beware! My Smartparts display didn't work out of the box. I called their tech support and they were very rude. They had me ship it back for replacement. But I never received a replacement! Now they wont reply to emails or voicemail. They must be out of business or at least not interested in helping customers. It was a total rip-off. If yours works when you get it, good for you. If not, you will lose your money like I did.
Easy to set up and works like a champ
I did a fair amount of research on digital photo frames before purchasing the Smartparts SP72 7-Inch Digital Picture Wood Frame. I wanted something that was not overly expensive, yet provided good functionality and quality. Since Smartparts does not recommend the direct connect to the computer to download pictures, I used an SD 1 GB storage card to load up the pictures. It was pretty simple and did not take much time. We also used the timing feature to automatically shut down the picture frame in the late evening and it starts up in the morning.
So far we have been very happy with this product. The picture quality is very good and and the frame looks very nice as well. I would buy another one - and in fact we did - for my mother-in-law. We got the 8-inch version with more functionality and it has the same qualities as this unit.
Make sure reviews are for product being ordered
After spending almost an hour reading the posted reviews I found out that the reviews posted are the same for different model numbers(Smartparts SP72 vs. Smartparts SP92). I discovered this because one reviewer mentioned that I should get a frame with 800 X 600 resolution. I selected the 7in frame from the drop down menu and that review was under this model number so I assumed that it was a good deal. After I verified the specs I noticed that this model did not have even close to this resolution. I then selected a different model number under the drop down menu and lo and behold the same reviews were under a different model number with different specs. I don't know about you guys but I purchase based on past reviews! It doesn't gives me a good feeling that others have taken the time to share their experiences both good and bad and the reviews are not even for the project being represented. I feel that now all my purchases are suspect from Amazon.com and am very frustrated. I called the Amazon help Number 1-800-201-7575, which by the way is the hardest to find anywhere and voiced my frustration. They told me that they were looking into it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt but will have a hard time purchasing from them in the future unless I see change.
