 Almost perfect May 14, 2008

I looked at several brands of digital photo frames. Every time I came back to the Sony because it stands out for picture quality, sharpness, features (lots of features), ease of operation. Even if immediately you don't think you would use all of the features, pay the money and get it anyway. You'll be surprised how all of a sudden one or more of those features is a neat thing to have. The internal memory is large, slideshow, individual view, and picture selection from any source is so simple you can start using most of the features right out of the box. Even the owners manual is extremely user friendly. Yes the price was a bit much but put the Sony next to the others on the market and there is no comparison for picture quality. One downside: you have to use a power cord. I found a couple of portable power sources but power plug on the Sony is not the typical power recepticle found on most products. Thanks Sony....how about making a portable source available? I would love to place the frame on a table for display without having to find a place to plug it in. I found only one brand of frame with a built in battery but the picture quality was no where near the Sony so I opted for the Sony hoping that I could find a portable power pack or hope I will always have a place to plug it in. Price is starting to come down so be patient if price is your obstacle. It is well worth the wait.

I've been on the market for picture frame after purchasing an affordable kodak picture frame for my girlfriend. I decided our apartment was not going to be like my aunt's where there is a family picture lining every wall in the home. I wanted something that could look good even turned off. This is it. Of course Sony brings their aesthetic talents to create sophisticated beautiful looking frame. The picture frame is solid glossy black and the Sony logo glows bright white when turned on. You also have the option of turning off the logo if it cramps your style. The picture quality is crystal clear, bright and sharp even on my old scanned photos. The viewing options are plentiful and fade in and out flawlessly kind of drawing you in the show. I love the calender and clock settings which gives this frame a practical use. You can choose only the calendar, only the clock or both with pictures at the same time on a side box.
Now the bad: It not only requires a power cord but the end has a buldge wich made it very hard for me to conceal the power cord on my bookcase. I had to hide the power cord since it would not slip in through the cracks on the back of my bookcase. This also makes it a no go for coffee table. It's very noticible when it's out in the open. Luckily I hid it very well and it's not noticible in my case. The only other bad point is the price. It is quite expensive for picture fram but you can clearly see why. It's so sophisticated looking that it looks expnsive. The lcd looks like it's thick glass and the black frame is glossy. No doubt the materials used were quality materials.
If you have the money, I highly recommend it. Also, I bought this on the Sony website for 139.00. As usual amazon comes out with a deal after I buy it. So if you do buy it, buy it from amazon.
This is the first digital frame that I have liked... August 15, 2008

...and I've owned four of them.
My requirements were pretty simple -- a high-quality LCD and the ability to play from a large selection of pictures, either randomly (my preference) or by shoot date (my wife's preference). I went through three frames that choked on large numbers of pictures, had washed-out displays, and/or couldn't play randomly or sequentially. I was surprised by how poorly conceived and tested these frames were. (Here's a prior rant on the Digital Foci IMT-081 Image Moments Digital Photo Frame.)
But the DPF-V900 is a fine frame. It has a clean design; has a sharp, bright LCD; and has no problem with my 4300 pictures (and is good for up to 10,000, according to the manual).
Bottom line is that, while not perfect, the DPF-V900 is a real product from a real company that has done some real quality control. As far as I can tell, that's the state of the art in the digital frame business right now.

Works great if you load it with pictures right out of the camera. But images edited in Adobe photoshop and resaved as jpegs would just leave a "?" on the screen. Spent an hour with Sony online support but they had no answer other than the manuel says it might not work with files created on the computer. Oh Well !! back to the store it goes

After doing a ton of research, I settled on this frame mostly by process of elimination (and the fact that while there are not a ton of reviews on Sony frames, they are mostly all good). I eliminated many others because (1) most other frames are not in the 4:3 aspect ratio (meaning black bars on your pics); (2) most other frames have mediocre reviews (for example, no Kodak frame (the market leader) does better then 3.5 stars on Amazon over tons of reviews; and (3) many frames by lesser known brands appear to have serious and scary quality control issues that are ignored/not caught by professional reviews, but show up in user reviews.
This frame definitely costs more for the size and features, but the pics look awesome, and I'm confident that if there is a problem, I have a reliable company to go to. It was super easy to get set up, I put 350 pics in a folder, ran a batch resizer on them to get them to 800x600 (not really necessary given the amount of on-board memory on the unit, but the I figured my PC plus a good free resizer program would probably do better then the unit itself at resizing), connected the frame by USB cable to the PC and copied that folder to the unit and that was pretty much that. For the price, a bigger picture frame would be nice, but really the 8 inch screen size is great for your desk at work.
