Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony DPF-D80 8-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black)
Customer Review: Excellent Digital Picture Frame
Summary: 4 Stars
This review is for the 8" Sony Digital Picture Frame (Model #DPF-D80). I specifically wanted this photo frame because it has the 4:3 aspect ratio and that is what all my picture are taken in. I didn't want to get any of the widescreen frames (16:9 aspect ratio) and have my pictures be stretched, cropped and/or have the black bars on the sides or tops of each picture. Also, I just wanted my pictures to be displayed. No need for video or music being played or viewing a clock. Just a basic digital picture frame and that is what this is.
So far I have loaded over 700 pictures on this frame using a 4GB Memory Stick Pro Duo that I keep inserted into the frame at all times. This frame only has 256MB internal memory (actually less with the software included on the internal memory), which isn't a whole lot. They say you can load up to 500 photos to the internal memory and I got to 441 pictures before the internal memory became full. More on that later.
I have had no problems with errors, pictures not downloading or pictures not being able to be viewed with this frame. What I do is download every picture taken with my digital cameras (or scan hard copies of pictures) and save them onto my computer. I then resize them with InfranView and re-save them on my computer. I then use Roxio Easy Media Creator to adjust the colors and sharpness before I do a final re-save to my computer. 75% of my pictures loaded onto this frame are in 1024x768 resolution and are each about 600-800KB in size. For that size and resolution I'm amazed I got close to the 500 pictures allowed on the internal memory. My computer does not have a slot for a memory card so I had to do some extra steps to get all my pictures saved on the memory card. I copied the most allowed pictures onto the internal drive of the picture frame and then exported them all to the memory card. I then erased them all on the internal drive of the picture frame and repeated the steps again. Now I view them all with the memory card and can keep adding until the memory card is full. The color and quality of the pictures are amazing. This is one of a few 8" frames that has the 800x600 resolution. All the 8" Kodak picture frames I was looking at were only in 800x480 resolution and was no where near as clear and vibrant as this Sony picture frame.
Why this did not receive "5" stars is: small internal memory, very expensive for a basic digital picture frame and the frame easily attracts fingerprints. Also, to view your pictures as a slideshow via the shoot date doesn't mean so. If you have a picture taken in 1990 but you resized, changed the color or brightness in 2009 and then re-saved it.......the picture now has a modification date of 2009 and that is how the picture will play in shoot order. I haven't viewed my slideshow in the "Random" view, so I don't know how often the same photo would repeat.
