Audiovox DPF800
A nice product, reasonably well-designed. A little complicated to copy pictures to internal memory, but very simple to insert an SD card. The menu system is a little clunky, and I would prefer longer cycle times (you get to choose among 3, 5, and 8 second refresh, I think).

How do you work this thing?
First off, I am not a tech illiterate person. I have an iphone, a flat screen tv, camcorder, digital camera, etc. I am generally up on the latest technologies, and usually enjoy nice new gadgets. But this product, I can't figure out.

First, this was to be a gift to my mother, which I was to load pictures I had stored on my computer and put them onto the internal memory of this frame. Well after repeated attempts to get this thing synched to either my camera OR my computer, I gave up. This thing just does not know how to talk to other pieces of electronics. I'm using Windows XP and a pretty recently purchased computer, so not sure what the problem is.

Oh, the other thing, I would have just purchased the SD card and loaded pictures on there, but my digital camera (cannon powershot) uses a different card, and this frame only takes SD. So there goes that option. I'm sure there's a work around, but to give this as a gift and expect the person to have everything they need in order to get this to work out of the box, don't bother. Very disappointed and will be returning this item.

Excellent frame with only average software
I own a couple of these and a couple of (older + smaller) Phillips photo frames. The physical size and 800x600 resolution of this frame is very nice. It also comes with a small remote control but I've never used it.

The quality of the displayed images is very good. There's controls for brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, etc so you can adjust the display to accurately display the photos.

My biggest and only complaint is the firmware which ought to be easy to fix. Here's a quick sample of what I mean and I'll compare this frame to the excellent software in the Phillips:

How long each photo is displayed:
Phillips: Anywhere from 2 seconds to 30 minutes.
Audiovox: 3, 5 or 8 seconds.
(Even at 8 seconds, this is too fast. I like 30-40 seconds per photo)

Order to display photos:
Phillips: Sequential or random
Audiovox: Sequential only
(I like random so you never know what photo will be shown next. Otherwise you tend to 'memorize' and know what's coming up next.)

Automatic shutdown:
Phillips: The frame can turn itself off at certain times
Audiovox: It's either on or off
(My Phillips turns itself off between 11PM and 7AM in the morning)


So I really like the images on this frame but the firmware drives me crazy. The options to cycle to the next image are only 3, 5 and 8 seconds which for all practical purposes is the same setting... FAST. How &#!^@ difficult is it to write software/firmware to let the person set a longer time?

This being said I'm still hoping that either Audiovox or someone will come up with updated firmware for this. I have seen absolutely ZERO evidence that this will happen but I keep checking anyway because these gripes are easily fixed. If they would only bother.

Not too bad
Display quality is pretty good and I like the alarm feature. But i'm a little upset with the compatibility of the external memory card. It took me a while to figure out that it had to be formatted in FAT. I can't connect it to my computer and spent a decent amount of time trying to find a driver for it and was unsuccessful. Other than that, I still haven't played around with connecting it to my camera.



For those who don't know much about computers and can not get the device to read/display the photos on your memory card, here is how you format it:

1.) MAKE A COPY OF THE PHOTOS ON THE MEMORY CARD IF YOU DO NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE

2.) Right-click on the memory card [usually is called SD Memory Card (E:) or (F:) ] from "Explore" or a folder view.

3.) Select "Format ..."

4.) Under the "File System" Option, choose "FAT"

5.) !!THIS STEP WILL ERASE ALL DATA ON THE MEMOR CARD!!
click "Start"

hopefully I saved someone some frustration.
