save your money and buy a regular frame! I bought this for a present and opened it to put photos on it to present it. Well I changed the picture settings and the photos were still way to dark. Also when you go into the menu to change the picture quality you arent even looking at a picture just a blue screen. Sure would help to have a photo up to see while changing the settings. I feel like if you can buy a decent camera for 100 bucks then you should be able to make a viewer for the photos for less. I am wrong. I will be upgrading this digital photo frame before christmas. what a waste of my time. Good luck to anyone that gets this frame, there are better choices out there and I will post them when I find them.

I don’t know if the person that wrote the review really bought it… but I bought this at Sears for [...]… and it’s the worst thing I got. It’s good price for 7inch frame! But to good to be true… really. I recommend to go any store and see it first, because the quality is cheap, pictures looks awful. Don’t believe me until you see it working. Don’t waste your money.

If you're looking for an "el-cheapo" digital frame, you may have hit the jackpot with this one. Not only is it relatively low-priced, but it also comes with low quality picture reproduction, low quality sound, and badly thought out button placement.

To be fair, it takes flash drives and camera cards, and plays MP3s and videos and can do slideshows and tell you the time and date.

But...

The power cord makes the whole "hanging on the wall" thing a bit of a joke, the lack of internal memory is a pain I'd rather not have, and the music that comes out of the in-frame speakers certainly isn't the food of love.

The USB cord mentioned in the booklet is not included, so if you don't happen to have one handy you'll have to use flash drives and camera cards for picture storage.

Talking about photographs, this frame will take your 3MB memories and make them look like 70KB internet snapshots, so this may not be a good gift for your favorite photo-take-outerer.

Navigation is tricky and could be a lot easier, and the buttons and doo-dads are awkward to negotiate, especially as the button color blends in with the back of the frame.

I guess you could give this to your dear old Gran, especially if she has failing eyesight and hearing, and you were able to visit her daily to set it up and change the pictures, but in this high-tech world, anyone else would expect much better picture and sound quality.

Economically priced, and not worth the price tag.

I gave this to someone as a gift. She hooked it right up and loved it. The pictures came through nice and clear. I think it’s a terrific digital frame and a great price.

I bought this frame it at Sears. No knock on Sears. I did have doubts about the Coby brand. I thought how hard can it be to make a digital picture frame. Apparently too hard for Coby. Mine was DOA when I opened the box. There is not much else to say.
