Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of HP DF800 8-Inch High Resolution Digital Picture Frame with Remote
Customer Review: Df800
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually got the Df800 digital picture frame as a gift for my wife. She really likes it because it is so easy to view her favorite pictures now. I loaded a few pictures on an SD card, plugged it into the Df800 and turned it on. After a few menu selections, we were viewing a slideshow. The pictures are bright and vibrant. Two minor issues occurred. First, after awhile some of the pictures seemed to get corrupted. I'm not sure if there was a problem with putting them on the SD card, or the Df800 did it. The problem was quickly corrected by reloading the bad pics and using the lock switch on the SD card. Problem solved. Second, the remote control holder seems to hold onto the remote better than it does the picture frame. When you grab the remote, the holder comes with it. Perhaps I assembled it incorrectly. Anyhow, we don't really use the remote so it just sits on the back of the frame. All in all, this is a great product, and given the need, I'd purchase it again.Customer Review: Wonderful, except

HP Lite-On Df800 8-Inch High Resolution Digital Picture Frame with RemoteA wonderful product in all aspects, EXCEPT in the slideshow mode it plays the files from the latest to the earliest. Who would want to view wedding photos showing the couple driving off, before they are even married? The only way to change the order is to renumber the files, an awsome job if you have 200+.Customer Review: HP doesn't recognize this product

Don't try to get tech support for this item! No one at HP, anywhere, knows anything about it. Customer Review: Poor interface, bugs
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this frame at a local Fry's because it seemed to have the best image quality. It has shows some banding in areas with slow gradients (e.g., the sky) but overall the image quality is decent for one of these frames (although I don't understand why they can't make one as good as a cheep notebook screen).
However, after getting it home I found a bunch of interface problems and some sort of buggy behavior. First, you cannot load pictures onto the directly from a Mac, you have to use a PC. Okay, I have a PC. Second, I couldn't load pictures directly from a PC. The instructions say that connecting it to a PC with a USB cable results in it showing up as three drives, internal memory, slot 1 and slot 2 (why all three show up if you don't have a card in either slot I can't say). I did this. They did show up (although not labeled so that you can't tell which is the internal memory). Then they showed up again. Then, after about 30 seconds, they disappeared. After about a minute of Windows telling me that devices had been attached and unattached I found I could not access the frame from the computer.
Luckily, you can put pictures on a USB flash drive and attach that to the frame. You can even transfer the pictures from USP (or a memory card) to the internal memory... one at a time. That's right, there is no way to tell it to transfer all your pictures, you have to select them one at a time and five or six button presses later, they are in the frame's internal memory! You have to wonder why they bothered including internal memory at all. As far as I can see, the only way to use the frame is with your pictures on a memory card or USB drive.
Other minor issues: the calendar and clock are in a really ugly blue on blue theme. If a picture doesn't fill the frame, the unfilled part is black but the "matte" is white. And you can't select which pictures on a memory card are displayed.
Customer Review: Screen smaller than I thought.
Summary: 3 Stars
In using the device, the screen is smaller than we had thought. We are trying to send it back to get a refund, but the seller, ANTOnline, has still not provided an RMA number and we requested one two days ago.
