I think this may have been mentioned already but even the box oozes quality. This frame is a solidly built quality piece of kit and is well worth forking out the cash for.
I instantly love it and will take pride of place in my living room.
However there have been a few shall we say minor niggles (hence not 5 stars).
the absence of a back up battery means all the settings are lost if the mains is interupted; the blue tooth feature is only available via an add on adaptor; the current time cannot be displayed alongside a picture only via the calendar and the shiny finish can be a little reflective but the picture quality more than makes up for the niggles and even makes my photography look good.

Received for Christmas, and what a superb frame. It came preloaded with some family pictures so we had it running striaght away. The frame looks better with pictures on fit to frame and the random cycling seems to work best. The pictures are loaded at full resolution so we haven't got the full 1000 on there. Might have to experiment with shrinking the pictures as they seem to repeat far more often than they should. Really easy to add the Christmas pictures from the camera too. Nearly all automatic.
Get one today. Looks just stunning.
It's a Sony - you get what you pay for - but.... November 28, 2008

Initially I gave this frame 5 stars and a very favourable review but I've been using it a fair bit since and there are a couple of niggles that I think are worth pointing out. Firstly the fact that some edits made in Photoshop or other apps appear to prevent the frame from displaying these images (you just get a question mark instead). This does not happen for all edited images (many of mine worked fine) and I eventually got the duds to work by re-exporting from Photoshop. However it's a bug that Sony should have identified and ironed out. However, worse is the cropping issue - I can't be doing with a landscape frame showing landscape shots with either black bars either side or zoomed in using the 'fit to screen' feature which wrecks my composition and arbitrarily cuts off someone's head in the process! I realise that for portrait shots in landscape and vice versa there will always be a trade-off and ideally you need two frames (one for each). However I did not expect to have to manually crop a load of shots to 15cm x 9cm in order to fill the frame on landscape which means I lose some of the image.
Now I know about this I guess I can account for it in terms of composing future shots but it's a really annoying downside nonetheless.
All that said - it's worth doing because the visual quality of this frame is simply stunning, it has superb build quality and some nice additional touches. To have matched the formatting to most digital cameras however would have really nailed it.
I still love it - but it's more of a labour than I though it would be. Still 5 stars but only because the results make the extra effort worth while.
Very good pix November 27, 2008

Well, I was a little concerned at first as someone said you cannot display altered images.... you can if you use photoshop, alter as usual, then save as.....a Tiff, ie not compressed and Taaaa raaaaa your pix will display...
Great display and lighting, you can zoom in to make the pic display a little better too. Glad I bought it.

Sony frame is good enough, however I would point out the things which are hyped up. Firstly the visible screen size is 8.4 inches not 9 inches, secondly this is a wide screen frame with 800x480 pixel resolution with an aspect ratio of 15:9 because of this most of the pictures are intelligently cropped which means you don't get to see the full picture. Secondly for a screen with 800x480 resolution the price is a premium. I recently got the DekoElite as my second gift purchase after purchasing the DekoElite 8.4 inch Touch Sensitive Digital Photo Frame 800x600 pixel high resolution with internal memory this frame is having the same screen size as Sony. It is cheaper than sony but with a HIGHER resolution 800x600, Deko elite has all the features as that Sony, infact it has more features than Sony. Sony doesn't support video or music play back where as DekoElite can play MP3 & MPEG4 video. DekoElite also has a higher resolution screen and 4:3 aspect ratio which doesn't distort or crop the images.
