bTi says "Great quality, beware of the remote though." about Hewlett Packard HP df808c1 8-Inch Digital Picture Frame

bTi — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 01:28:21 GMT

I received this as an early Xmas present, and on first impressions I have to say that I was impressed.

At 8", this photo frame is just big enough for any pictures that you have to display.

Some details before I give my review:
- 8" diagonally of frame space (whenever you read anything that says it's X inches big, it's always a diagonal measure)
- Reads pictures from various memory formats like SD/SDHC, MMC, MS, MS-Pro, xD, as well as CompactFlash. The first five formats are readable in the built-in 5-in-1 reader and there is a separate opening for the CompactFlash card.
- Comes in a nice glossy black finish
- Has a brightness feature in its setup where you can choose the varying degrees of brightness. Great for a dim room.

I find that it displays the pictures pretty well, even if it is of camera phone quality at 1.5MPs as it doesn't blow it up or out of proportion where it looks like a blurry blob.

The CF slot is a really great feature IMHO, as I know that nowadays the market is cornered by...

brenviewer says "Sling it or strap it, but keeps your camera ready for photo ops" about Tamrac - Model 5767 Velocity 7x Photo Sling Pack

brenviewer — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 22:41:54 GMT

I've yet to actually strap the Velocity 7x to me. When I bring my camera, i've usually got my kids with me and need the additionally flexibility of just reaching down to grab it. The Velocity 7x is a sling pack that i can drape over my shoulder and know it's secure, unlike cases that we wear on your shoulder that could slide off.

I especially like that when slung, the Velocity 7x hugs my body, so i can chase different angles without the bag shifting or swinging me out of focus.

My Velocity 7x gives me the rapid response i need at my kids' soccer/football/basketball games and at cheerleading competitions (glad that's over for a while). I reach down and my camera's at the ready. Additionally, there are pockets inside the Velocity 7x for multiple lenses. I have 3 I keep with me at all times that give me a total range of 20-300mm: great for close up or far away. And the way they're stored, I can switch from near to far pretty quickly. So when my daughter's in front of the cheer...

pitcherday says "Say goodbye to the arms-length self portrait!" about Sunpak - Platinum Plus FlexPod Gripper

pitcherday — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:52:58 GMT

I have a metal camera tripod. I have had it forever and use it for my heavy 35mm film SLR Camera. Now I have a little Fuji FinePix Z20 fd point and shoot digital camera. Why forgo the convenience of having a pocket sized camera by lugging around an unwieldy, heavy traditional tripod? I, for one, do not like giving strangers my camera and asking them to take a snapshot of us (that is whoever I want in the shot with me). If someone takes off with your film camera, they take - what? 24 photographs and the money you invested in the camera? Most people (myself included) keep a bunch of snapshots on their digital camera's memory card. Now hundreds of pictures and your entire trip's memories are gone. So, if you don't trust people with your camera, you are stuck with the arms-length self portraits, or not having some person in the frame with you.

That is, until you purchase the Sunpak Platinum Plus FlexPod Gripper tripod. This is a tripod with flexible legs and self leveling feet. It's lightweight...

housefull7 says "Great camera for the price." about Fuji Film - FinePix S700

housefull7 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:28:14 GMT

When shopping for a new digital camera I wanted to try and find one that was similary in body style to an SLR without the $500 price tag. Being that my previous camera was only 2mp I wanted something that while enlarging photos for printing I wouldn't have to deal with the horror of distortion. Looking at numerous camera from several manufacturers I finally decided on the Fuji Finepix S700. This camera has a great balance and design for fitting in your hand. It has plenty of choices for photo settings and I love the fact that I am able to use it photographing my daughter at soccer without the dreaded delay that most digital cameras have. Once you have the autofocus set, the pic is shot almost instantaneously hence you don't miss the shot and it's not a blurred mess! I absolutely love this camera and would highly recommend it to any level of photographer to use. You can't go wrong with the price either.

Krystal18 says "Pandigital -Digital Photo Frame" about Pandigital - (DPF802) Digital Photo Frame

Krystal18 — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:55:26 GMT

How much is this laptop? Do anyone feel it is worth it? I am looking for a new laptop, and this one looks cute. I have a toshiba, and it works. I want a computer that will look cute just like me. Everyday a shepard sent his son to take their few sheep out to pasture. We cant afford to lose even one. A young mouse begged his mother to let his first look at the world outside the mouse hole. The little mouse had not been gone five minutes when he saw me she waved her long tail as if she were glad to see me. Fear is a greater motivator. Self-esteem and self-understanding are two of the most important components of your persoanl make-up! A student can be brilliant in terms of mental disabilities, but may perform at a very low capacity because of unhealthy self-esteem. If you let other people rule your life, you will always have unhealthy self-esteem. You will feel helpless and out of control as long as someone else has power over your life.

bkovacs says "Keep the nasties away from your expensive Nikon camera" about Nikon BM-6 (25332) Screen Protector

bkovacs — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 00:45:36 GMT

My wife has a Nikon D200 digital single-lens reflex (dSLR) camera. It's now an older model, but it was expensive in its day and still takes excellent pictures. One of the beauties of digital photography is that nothing prevents you from taking hundreds of pictures, since there is no film to process and prints to buy. With a digital camera, you can just take pictures until you're confident you have at least one good shot.

This means that you will probably handle a digital camera far more than you did a film camera. Of course, the more you handle anything, the more likely it is that the item will become damaged at some point. Therefore, protecting an expensive camera becomes worthwhile if it doesn't cost much, adds little weight and doens't hamper operation. All three of those things apply to the Nikon BM-6 monitor cover, which is a clear plastic piece that snaps over the LCD monitor on the Nikon D200 camera.

As you can see from the picture to the right, I paid $12 for the Nikon BM-6 monitor...

bkovacs says "Powerful and flexible, but prone to failure" about Nikon - Speedlight SB600

bkovacs — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 02:16:09 GMT

My wife and I both have our own camera outfits. While I generally use a Canon G7 semi-pro compact camera, she has a beefy Nikon D200 dSLR. To go with her Nikon camera, she got a Nikon Speedlight SB-600 flash unit. The Nikon SB-600 sells for about $220 at Amazon, and it represents the middle of Nikon's flash range.

What it is

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 is a flash unit that fits on top of the camera in a mount called a "hotshoe." Not only does the hotshoe provide mechanical support for the flash, it also has several electrical contacts that allow the camera to "talk" to the flash. The SB-600 holds four AA batteries -- we use good-quality rechargeables that last for as many as 500 flashes. Between the batteries and the Nikon SB-600's beefy construction, the unit weighs a pound or so.

The flash head on the Nikon SB-600 can be swiveled and pointed in any direction, from forward to backward to straight up. There is a small pull-out plastic lens that's used to spread the light out for wide-angle...

arkitz says "Coby Digital picture frame" about Coby - DP-769 Digital Photo Frame

Loved the concept of having the pictures and having music also but I had to have my son put it all together for me I tried several times and he did too before he got it everything had to be in JPG format or the music and the pictures didnt work together so this isnt user friendly and the pictures are the clearest either,,, but when I finally got my slideshow going I liked it but unless you are looking right at it it isnt much good so we dont use it much,,,,,,, this review was for the Coby digital frame

JustMy2Cents says "The Kodak Digital Frame is fun " about Kodak - EasyShare SV811 Digital Picture Frame

JustMy2Cents — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 18:42:19 GMT

The Kodak Digital Frame SV811 is a good deal for the money because it lets you do a lot and is not too dificult to work with. However if you are not technically inclined, it can be a bit of a challenge, but worth it in the end.

The results are great once you get your pictures loaded in and figure out how to work with them. There are lots of selections for changing the display speed and how the frames display, which is fun. Also, the Kodak Easy Share editting software is pretty easy to use and have fun with. All in all, great value for the cost.

The only problem I have is that I cannot figure out how to get the audio part of the frame working so I have not been able to display my pictures to music. This is a disappointment to me. Maybe I have just not figured out the download from my computer correctly because I am not that technically proficient, although I download to my Ipod regularly and I would not think this would be too much harder to figure out. However, even without...

baybeetaz5 says "Portable, Lightweight, Good Quality, Great For On-The-Go!" about Hewlett Packard HP DF300A 3.5-Inch Portable Digital Picture Frame (DF300A4)

baybeetaz5 — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:40:19 GMT

I love this HP picture frame. I originally got it so that my parents could use it to show off pictures of her kids and grandchildren with them on a vacation they were taking. But now I use it all the time. I love to take pictures and when I'm done and I've got a couple that I just want to have with me always, I'll just load it onto the picture frame. It takes SD cards so it makes it easy to load and store pictures. I put an 8GB card in there, but have loaded over 400 pictures and it's only taken up about 700MB... the pictures don't have to have a high resolution because it shows on a 3.5" size frame. But the quality is amazing. I've noticed that when the file size of the picture is smaller, than it doesn't take that long for the picture frame to load up in the beginning. The other thing I absolutely adore about this thing is that it doesn't need a power supply constantly attached to it like most picture frames, so I can just charge it up the night before and have it ready-to-go the next...

mrsbeano says "FUN PHOTOS ALL IN ONE PLACE" about Kodak - EasyShare SV811 Digital Picture Frame

mrsbeano — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 01:54:25 GMT

I got my Kodak EasyShare Digital Picture Frame from my son for Christmas....I love it!! I don't like a lot of clutter in my house, but still want to show a lot of pictures of my friends and family. This picture frame allows me to display hundreds of photos with one frame...no clutter! :o) The frame is very nice looking, doesn't look cheap and lets you change the matting to match your colors. You can put music to your photos if you like and it plays in a constant slideshow. The pictures are very easy to download. You can put a usb device in and it takes them right from that. You can add and delete photos at anytime. They make great gifts, especially for grandparents or someone overseas. You could purchase it and put the photos on it before you send it to them....grandparents would love opening it up and already having the pics on there. I know you can also do stuff from the Kodak site with it, but I haven't gotten to that yet. Great for small spaces when you don't have a lot of room for...

seenrhed says "Great product." about Kodak-Digital Photo Frame

seenrhed — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:37:09 GMT

I received this for Xmas from my husband and absolutely love it. The Kodak digital photo frame is easy to use and navigate. I was impressed with its ease of use for my daughter to use. It has several input slots and the color is awesome and amazing. I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to show off their photos all year round. Others that I have seen and tested are not so user friendly and complicated to use. The Kodak digital photo frame has a touch screen capability unlike no other. It works off of UL or batteries. We purchased this at such a great deal I wished he had purchased 2 of them just so that I could have one in another room. I do not keep this on all night and only cut it on when people are coming over or for special occassions. I like the ability to frequently change pictures so that I may keep my family up to date with the seasons and sport functions.

Dread09 says "The Ideal Gift For A Loved Family Member" about Kodak-Digital Photo Frame

Dread09 — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 19:36:59 GMT

I've been seing these digital photo frames at stores and all. I think this things is amazing. I didnt know you can put videos & music on them. Thats neat. I definately want to get one for my grandparents for christmas. It will be a great holiday gift. Not only that I can store all the pictures they ever took and every picture that they got on to the kodak digital photo frame. They proably never seen this before, but I got a great Idea they'll like it not only them the rest of my family also, but I recomend this to anyone who wants 2 get it for a family member like your grandma or grandpa even your mom in dad I think that makes it a perfect present for either the holiday or a birthday present. You wont have to deal with any more photo books anymore, because you can get a memory stick and store as much pictures as you want to. You just need a scanner to scan all your pictures into the computer.

smylyn1 says "This Koday memory card reader is such a time saver." about Kodak - Koday memory card reader

smylyn1 — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:32:55 GMT

Hello there! My name is Laura and I am here to tell you a little about the Kodak memory card reader. I have just recently stepped into the digital picture age. I know you are probably saying you've got to be kidding!! I am an old time photograper that shoots with an SLR and prefer to use black and white film but in this day and age you have got to keep up with technology.

I recently purchased a Koday digital camera and it only came with a USB cable. I was having trouble downloading from the cable so I went and bought the Kodak memory card reader. It really made uploading and downloading pictures much faster for me. All you have to do is put your memory card into the reader then plug the reader into the USB port and wahlahh, you have immediate pictures to view on your computer screen! I still prefer the old way of photography but if you are like myself and need to get into the new age try out the Kodak line of photography goodies!

monlane says "looking for a bargain" about Pandigital - 6.0-Inch Digital Photo Frame

monlane — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:45:08 GMT

About the Pandigital 6.0 inch digital photo frame.

This is a great gift for the grandparent that lives out of town. I downloaded the information onto the frame, mailed it to him and all he had to do was turn it on and enjoy.

This is great for someone not very technically inclined or does not have a computer.

Very cost worthy and great for someone that has everything already. They don't have these pictures.

All I have to do is send another camera card for him to change when I make new pictures.

Not necessary to have a computer or computer knowledge.

I would highly recommed purchasing for Christmas

I will purcase again

clydetran says "Best birthday present I have ever had" about Pandigital - 6.0-Inch Digital Photo Frame

clydetran — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 17:23:44 GMT

The Pandigital Photo Frame , Model PAN7001W01T, is a great item. We loaded it from our memory card with pictures of our grandson, who lives about 25 miles away, and with pictures of our only granddaughter, who lives in Arizona, and whom we don't get to see very often.

This product is very easy to load, is great for people who are not experts in the field of technology, does not require a computer, is easy to use, and comes with its own remote, which is great! Sometimes we have the frame here in the office, and sometimes we have it scrolling in the family room. Wherever we are, it is.

This Pandigital photo frame plays music, and digital videos without a computer. This frame has function controls on it, or use the remote. This frame is easy to clean.

This photo frame would make an excellent gift for anyone, especially grandparents, and is even more delightful if pre-loaded for them. Just remember, it is for indoor use only.

moor2169 says "Kodak Easyshare digital picture frame is the best, get one!" about Kodak-Digital Photo Frame

moor2169 — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:50:25 GMT

The Kodak easy share digital photo frame is awesome. This frame is really easy to use and displays not only the pictures but the time as well. You have many options to show a calendar and time and pictures or calendar and pictures or time and pictures. Which ever you chose it is great quality. The frame plugs in to the wall and can either be hung or set on something. It looks just like my other pictures on the top of my computer desk. The outer frame is interchangable too. I chose the dark black frame as thats what most of my other pictures are in. You can transfer pictures from the computer to the frame using the usb cord or you can use a memory stick plugged in to the back as I have. This is a quicker and easier way in my opinion. You can change, add or delete, pics as needed. It also has a remote to control the speed and other actions as well.

This was one of my husbands best gifts he has gotten me so far. I absolutley love it and how the pics are displayed in a slow but high quality...
