Customer Reviews

Insanely LARGE viewing angles, 4:3, its 15", Bright and it shuffles. What more do you want.
Ok, I was hesitant to buy this digital photo frame like everyone else. All I had to go buy was 1 review here from Amazon. I took a nose dive though and went for it.

When I took it out of the box I noticed it was just like a real picture frame, it has actually real wood on the outside and glass over the frame.
It comes with a remote control which is very easy to use after some tinkering with it.

The instructions are horrible, but lots of instructions for these frames are horrible. So just figure it out on your own, its not hard.

The ONE most HORRIBLE thing I have about this device is the A/C adapter, you have to unscrew a panel at the back then place the A/C adapter in it then close the thing and the cord can't even hang out! So prepare to mod your frame if your wall mounting. I used double adhesive tape on the a/c adapter so it stays on.

But as for the picture itself, its crisp and vibrant. You can adjust the contrast, brightness, tint, and color by pressing setup at any picture on the remote.

It takes flash drives along with tons of other SD cards. Reads flash drives no problem, it also SCALES images VERY well. I had a 400 X 600 image and it scaled it no problem but for best results use a high resolution image and scale it down.

It's 4:3 so no stretching of images, has a LARGE viewing angle which is insane for if your wall mounting. It looks nice and stylish.
You can random mode the pictures so it shuffles through them and change transitions. Fast, Medium, Slow are the speeds I believe slow is 10 seconds. Which is enough for me.

Only takes Jpeg files from what I have seen which is fine, its standard format. Takes a large variety of Jpegs and loads a little slower with large files but your suppose to scale the image down anyway.

Sound quality is a bit thin, but you didn't buy this for sound? Did you?

Video haven't tried.... Honestly I don't want to try. I bought this to display images, I have a HDTV for film clips.

This digital photo frame is the best, hands down. If your nervous about the company or brand don't be.

Don't have any doubt to get it. But it will take some time to setup.

Get it.

Extremely good...not perfect
Like others, when I saw the name "Opteka" I was hesitant to buy the product, but the smaller version (11.3") had good reviews so I decided to purchase the 15" version.

The product looks sharp with a real wood frame. The 1024 X 768 display is the highest resolution display I saw and provides crisp images. The instructions are adequate and I got the product working quickly using a 2 GB SD Card. The product can also use XD, Compact Flash and several flavors of Memory Sticks.

The input files are limited to JPEG and AVI Motion JPEG. If you have photos in other formats, you will need to convert them to JPEG. I have not tried the video features of the frame, just the still JPEG features.

The manual states that the product can handle 12 megapixel JPEG files and the product handled my 7.1 megapixel files with no problems.

Pictures shot in portrait mode in a 7.1 megapixel file had to be resampled to a resolution 576 X 768 pixels, otherwise both the top and bottom of the picture were cropped out, even when the frame was set to "Optimal Mode". In other words a 7.1 megapixel picture of my fiance with a resolution of 2304 X 3072 pixels would result in images where half her head would be missing until I resampled the picture to 576 X 768.

The instructions stated that the product only supports JPEG files "taken from" digital cameras and may not support files "from" some software applications. I edited some of the pictures using Canon Easy PhotoPrint EX and Corel Photo-Paint X3 to correct Red-Eye or to resample the resolution. The resulting edited photos displayed on the product with no problems.

The product contains two speakers to provide music to go along with the slideshow. The sound is nothing to call home about, but that was not a feature I bought the frame for.

The product has a clock feature, but has no mode other than the setup mode to display the clock. Once again this feature was not a feature I bought the product for.

The product must run using an AC to DC adapter. To attach the adapter, one must remove a panel from the back of the product. Once the adapter cord is installed in the jack, the panel can not be replaced on the back of product. I just left it off.

The product has a support that can be attached to allow the frame to stand upright on a desk. It does not have hooks to allow it to be hung from a wall. I attached a string to the two top thumbscrews used to attach the support mount on the back of the unit. I then hung the unit on the wall using a strong hook, for the unit is a little heavy.

The unit has control buttons on its back. It also has a remote control.

In all this is a solid unit, providing a great display. I am quite happy with my purchase.

Great picture, sound is sub-par
The picture quality is quite good, and the user interface is reasonably intuitive. Setup is very quick add you'll have it running within a minute or two of opening the box. And it has a reasonable amount of memory (1gig) Only negative I've noticed is the sound. It's thin and tinny If you want sound that compliments the picture quality, you'll need at least external speakers, if not an external amp. Also, I have not tested the video.
Bottom Line: I got this so that a family member could easily show digital photos and this covers that requirement nicely.
