MO interest check: Digital Photo Frames

[Henessy]

Hi, I might be doing a Mass order on digital photo frames. But I would like to response 1st. Please suggest the specifications(Size, resolution etc) you wish to have. I try to see whether my supplier has it.

Thanks

I'd love a photo frame.

After size (15" makes a really beautiful photo frame), then colour reproduction is most important- that's difficult to assess with numbers.

AFter that its maximum viewing angles which are usually very poor on photo frames (they often use the lowest quality LCDs)

I bought this for someone in the States:

Smartparts is a good brand in the US. it was the 2007 version and the colours looked perfect, pretty similar to my calibrated
monitor which is saying a lot. Trouble is the 2008 version has lost a lot of the features like shuffle,etc.

Jus' my 0.02c

Most likely should not have any brand cos trying to source some budget ones.

[Octarine]

At least 10" size and 1024x768, standard rechargeable batteries or external power supply. Saw the Braun Digiframe 150: 15" size. Not budget class but really nice

What's the lowest price range for such digital photo frames? Have been looking around and they never seem to be below $100.

[Danntbt]

...was at a toshiba demo for colour laser copier, the door gift include a digital frame, I cannot imagine the cost to be more than $100, should be within $50, there were about 50-60 invited guest...they also gave away a Toshiba laptop and ipod as lucky draw prizes.

(At another demo during the IT fair, they gave a way a Canon printer as door gift....but i missed that....ooops OT)

[BlackWhite]

interested ..depends on quality and price. prefer reliable models

[N-user]

Interested also.... of course like the rest... price.... looking at above 10"... 12 to 15 will be good.... 20" even better if the price is rite... heee

To put some perspective into this, the common 7" size photo frame are around $100 typical for the china-branded or no-branded models. They can go as low as $88 but I had enough of them. I bought a 7" one from SLS for $120 and when the frame failed after a few weeks, the retailer (a Chinese guy) told me need to send back to China. Free labour but the spare parts and shipping cost $80. He laughed when I told him one year warranty should include parts. And the picture quality is not as good as the branded ones.

So far I am impressed by the Sony and Philips models but these cost almost or above $200 for a 7" model and typically 640x480 resolution.

I managed to buy a 2.5" tiny one for $60 recently at Harvey Norman that ran on batteries.

Hence if you want 10" and 1024x768, better budget much much higher than $50. Philips has a model with a simulated wooden photo frame look that cost a few hundred dollars.
