 7 inch FRAME not image area... good product January 8, 2009
Llana (California)
This photo frame just showed up at my door an hour ago. I already have it set up and running with the pictures I selected for it. Very simple and quick provided you have the cords you need. (Luckly I did.)
I've seen comments about incompatibility with edited (photoshopped) jpg images. Mine are all edited and I had no problem playing them on the S-Frame.
Things to be aware of:
- To connect your computer or devices to the frame, you need a cord. The cord that came with your digital camera to connect to that, or a mini-usb to connect to your computer. If you want to connect to it via bluetooth, you seem to need a bluetooth adapter for the frame. If you don't have these things, you will end up needing to go out and get them before adding your pictures to the frame, which may frustrate you.
- The size of the photo area on the 7" S-Frame is actually 6" by 3.5". Much smaller than I thought. I assumed as with normal picture frames, if it says 5x7 on it, it is intended for photos size 5x7. This may have been my misunderstanding, so I thought I'd clarify for others who may have been confused.
So far this is a wonderful item. A bit pricey for the size, but the resolution is lovely. The ease of setup couldn't be easier... though I have a mac and that also makes everything easier. Drag and drop. Simple as making a Roxer website.
If any issues arise I'll edit the post here. So far, so good! ;)
 Sony Digital Picture Frame January 7, 2009
Pen Name
I ordered this for my Mom's birthday. My son looked at several different sites to look at reviews so we could determine which was the best one to buy. When I received this I was very happy since the quality of how the pictures looked was very good. Also it was easy to use. I always liked Sony products and this confirmed it again.
Just what I wanted January 6, 2009

I was hoping for a small picture frame for beside my bed that also had a clock function. This fills the bill
Works as advertised, but . . . January 6, 2009

The frame was well packaged and the instructions were quite well done (as one would expect from Sony). I managed to set it up and started to use it quite quickly. So, no major issues on initial setup and config. I gave this frame 4 stars only, because the 8" diagonal size leaves a lot to be desired. Unless you take pictures with this frame in mind or, you crop your pictures to better focus on the main subject, the pictures will look quite small and hard to see. This is specially evident when showing pictures in portrait (vertical).
I would not buy another one of these and would not recommend it to others unless they have seen it physically and know what they are buying.
Finally, I think this was a bit expensive for the size. Digital displays have dropped quite a bit in price and I would expect the same will happen to this vintage of display. The next gen of these will probably be bigeer and less expensive. Better wait for now . . .
Everything I read about the Sony DPF-D80 is true! January 6, 2009

Everything I read about the Sony DPF-D80 is true! It's extremely easy to load pictures into the frame's internal memory - either by inserting a media card directly from the camera or by using a USB cable from the PC. The presentation of photos on the frame is very clear and sharp. As others have written, I don't like it that once the frame is turned off, then re-started, the order of picture presentation always starts with the first picture you loaded. Guess they have to begin somewhere, huh? My order was filled very quickly and I received the frame less than a week after I ordered it. Practically all digital frames cost more than they should but overall, it's a great frame and I'm pleased with my purchase.
