Philips 7 Inch Digital Photo Frame Review

Good Points
Great easy to use frame
Superb high quality screen
Changeable frames
So many extras!

Bad Points
It was a gift but I think it was quite expensive.
Very rarely when I pick it up the little black plastic circle with "Philips" on it falls off.

General Comments
Well, when I unwrapped the box I thought WOW! a great digital photo frame and then I opened the box...



I was astounded at what this little frame could do - from bizarre things like a built in self timer (you could also set the brightness to dim at e.g 7pm so the glare wasn't to bright!!) to practical things like a built in battery (with a reasonably short life). I must state here that the frame comes with a mains lead so it can run off that (it also charges the battery up at the same time).



While reading all the specification I couldn't believe how much Philips had crammed into it, so the price does reflect this. (I think it retails for around £135)



So where do you begin if you want to display your photos on the frame? Well, you can simply stick a CF (compact Flash) or SD (secure digital) memory card in the back an let it scroll through all your photos. Or you can browse through them at your control (touch of a button). Or you can copy about 60 from your memory card to the frame itself (so you can put you memory card back in your camera and snap away!!)



The frame looks like it is made to a very high standard. It comes with white, silver, black and (bright) red (magnetic) surrounds for the screen. The screen itself is of such a high resolution that it can display photos of up to (aprx.) 9 Mega Pixels.



To summarise: if you want a high quality photo frame with all the extra features and a superb screen - this is the one.
