in OhGizmo! » Archive » OhGizmo Review: eStarling Wireless Digital Photo Frame, Round 2 on OhGizmo!
i picked up 4 digital photo frames this past christmas for various family members. we went with the pandigital 7" frame because costco had it on sale with a 512MB card for $129. on top of the 512MB card, the pandigital had 64MB on board. no fancy wifi, no POP support, just straight up memory card. well we ordered 4 of them and i have to tell you, they sucked.

the quality was horrible. the whole widescreen option is ridiculous, if a vertical picture was previously cropped the widescreen display would cut off the head because of the newly cropped aspect ratio. anyway, we returned all 4 of them.

then we were walking around target and saw some 7" kodak frames, yes they were $179 each but the quality was amazing. no on board memory, no bells and whistles. just a high quality display. so i started doing some research and it turns out they're a target exclusive, and it turned out they were on sale that week only for $149 (only $20 more than the pandigistal). needless to say, we picked up 4 of them.

what i learned is that if you don't spend the $ on the bells and whistles and spend the money on the display two things happen. a) you get a better experience looking at the photos and b) even your grandmother who doesn't read english can set it up (yes, this actually happened).

hope this helps.
