Consumer review by: A. Sand (amazon.com)

Worst digital product I've ever owned!

I bought this frame as a gift. Within an hour of plugging it in the frame had developed a mind of its own. It began switching pictures at whatever pace it felt like regardless of the "transition" settings. After shutting it down and restarting it- it...

Player of the future

"I purchased it for being a DVD player and didn't know if the SD was a workable solution. Now I only use the SDHC chip mode. I use a 8gb chip, upload my movies and change as needed. A full movie is about 1.1gb while a TV series is about 350k. I drive...

Work in truck,SD chip means no skipping

When shutdown, have to start from the beginning,can not set default startup

Wish it was a bit better...

"We have had this player for about 6 months and I'm shopping for a different one. The iPod connectivity is just fantastic... BUT, the battery (can't change without a pick-axe) does not hold a charge... at all... never has. If I was smart I would've...

Plays iPod video, can hook up to the big screen and play your iPod vid right through it!

Battery life non-existant, won't play a DVD.

Works great, with one major flaw

"My father gave this to us for Christmas this year and we took it on our drive to Florida. It worked great, but since it doesn't flip up like most portable DVD players we had to rig it up in a case that hangs from the back of the seat in front of our...

Great picture

I can't set it up properly in my car for my child

My brother-in-law bought this as a gift for my mother in law. I was to fill up half of the memory with pictures of my family, and he was going to do the other half with his family. Only then do I find out you can't access the internal memory. I ...

Great product

"Great product! Plays all my DVDs with no hassles. It can play Divx movies but as the instructions say it depends on the quality and encoding of the video. Plays my ipod nano which is great. Decent sound quality but it can't display long file names....

Connectivity, compact and easy to use

Better stand and can't read long file names

Supports 4G Nano iPods

"When I originally bought this, I was concerned that my 4G iPod Nano would not be supported. It works just fine although the included iPod adapters do not have one specific to the 4G. My player sits on my desk at work so it works just great for me....

iPod dock and sound

Bottom left corner gets real warm to touch when connected to AC adapter

Ummm...

"I usually like Philips but they made a couple mistakes here. The circle around the center "jog" dial lights up bright blue when powered on. It's right below the LCD screen & very distracting. Also, the On / Off switch is on the top right...when you...

Good picture

Product Specifications

Philips 8FF3FPW white photo frame has a 8-inch LCD high-resolution display image. It features Philips exclusive photo enhancement technologies: ImagEn and SmartContrast. With these exclusive technologies, photos are automatically analyzed and adjusted for correct color and optimal contrast - creating an ideal rich display of your photos. RadiantColor auto fits smaller photos to match the desired 4:3 ratio by extending the color to the edges, eliminating black bars and aspect ratio distortion. Edit pictures to your desired outcome using copy, delete, rotate, zoom, effect (black/white and sepia) and crop functions. Photos can be viewed individually, as thumbnails, as a collage or in a slide show. Transfer photos through a PC connection using USB 2.0 cable or via USB flash drive. Frame includes 10MB of built in memory space with two built-in memory card readers ¿ creating memory space to equal size of memory cards and allowing use without PC connection. Help save power by using the adjustable timer to automatically turn on/off digital photo frame.
