easy to setup, picture quality was very nice. I thought I dodged a bullet given the quantity of bad reviews on the Smartparts digital photo frames (no, I don’t think a review is useless just because one is for a 7″ and another for an 8″, if it’s from the same manufacturer). But 30 minutes after starting up a slide show (off of an SD flash card), the unit powered itself off. I turned it back on, and within 10-15 seconds, it would turn back off. Obviously having some thermal issues. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, and I’d be surprised if the ones who like it have the same photo frame a year from now. My LCD computer monitor has lasted for years, and I expect the same from my LCD picture frame, so I’m going to spend a little more for a Sony one.

THE REVIEWS IN THIS SECTION ARE NOT ALL FOR THE PRODUCT INDICATED (SP72). THE SP72 DOES NOT SUPPORT SOUND OR VIDEO!

This product works as advertised, and is very easy to use, but its not my favorite. I have a few other digital picture frames and all of them have designs and features I like, and ones I do not like. I will list a few of the pros and cons for this product.
Cons
-It does not come with a memory card. But then again, neither do most of the others.
-The stand is not very well designed, it stands almost vertical and looks like it will topple forward.
-The power cord has a big black block on it a few inches away from where it plugs into the frame. Makes it hard to hide it on the table.
-The picture quality is good, but up close some of the pictures look very grainy, but others look fine. not sure why that happens.
Pros
-It looks nice.
-It is very easy to load pictures and get it working.

Visitors to my home often remark upon the many pictures I have framed throughout the house. My living room walls are bepopulate with pictures of anonymous dogs, cats, aardvarks and penguins; on my bathroom walls are hung photos of various North Atlantic fishing expeditions dating to 1864 in the year of Our Lord; the kitchen in which my wife labors so tirelessly is decorated with a salad of paintings: leaves, monkeys, Ford trucks, medieval torture devices. Variety is indeed the spice of life! As various and wonderful as these pictures are, my guests never seem to care much for them: it’s the frames that attract them so. ‘My, what wonderful frames you have, Mr. O’Brien,’ said one recent visitor. ‘The frames! So beautiful!’ volunteered another. My most recent dinner guest, the Hon. Geoffrey Tynan, son of Kenneth, is well known for both verbosity and hyperbole, so it came as no surprise to my wife or I when, at length, he remarked: ‘Hark! I hear the angels sing! Bright brass and chorus! The heralds with their goldtwine hair, Cherubim of heaven! Fine frames do I see before my eyes, cool to touch but my heart has been sufficiently warmed; yea say I, frame eternally my fastbeating heart in this moment of God’s grace! The frames’ bold grain ensures I will not pass on spiritually intestate, O glowing wood!’ So enthralled was he that my wife just hours later caught him attempting to fill an empty potato sack with our precious framed possessions. He is still welcome in our home, but my wife and I now realize we ought to keep on him an eagle’s eye — just the one, for even combined our vision is quite poor, and one noble fowl’s eye is all we are able to scrape together.
But all that cheer and vigor and happiness is now gone, having been replaced at my wife’s insistence by this digital picture display, which displays at 10 second intervals every photo I have ever owned. While a fine frame, it lacks the mystical and spiritual properties I have always associated with framed pictures. Ask not why. All I can say is that my home has become a dull dread place, the guests less and less intent upon visiting. For this I blame my wife, who I am prepared to divorce.
