 Sony Got It Right Yet Again October 25, 2008

The pros:
In the somewhat new digital picture frame market Sony got it right.
The frame looks like just about any other Sony product: tastefully done with a simple and polished design and outstanding quality. The interior box might as well be used for jewelery with its silver logo imprint and glossy finish.
The frame itself has a surprising number of features (clock, calendar, display modes, transition modes, mixed modes, and so on) for a "low end" frame, but at the same time is ready to work right out of the box. The back lit logo looks gorgeous (and can be turned off too) and the remote (yes, a remote) is slick and covers all functions available. There is an array of media slots in the back to accommodate most digital camera storage card types; i.e. pull out of your camera, insert in the frame, and press play. It is that simple. For those "weird" formats, there is a mini USB port, so you are covered in all circumstances. Of course the most important part, the screen, is just Sony-style amazing, especially considering the price. Back light and contrast adjustments are also there.
The cons:
On a few pictures the colors seemed almost unnaturally bright. In Sony's defense: those were taken with a Canon. My Sony camera, understandably, seems to just "love" the frame. The wide screen format might require some tweaking of some of your pictures to fill the screen. In any case, if you are the lazy type, there are zoom/stretch options to do the job for you. The one thing that just caught me off guard: there is no USB cable included with the frame. Just because everything works with USB these days, does not mean that everyone has a mini USB handy (I used the one from my cell phone to test the device)!
In short: I'd buy another one in a heartbeat.
One word "Elegance" October 16, 2008

I first saw it at a retail store and I was captivated. It was side by side with other DPF's. It won me over. Some have a wooden frame with some colored matte. It is like mixing a too traditional frame with a futuristic piece of equipment. But, not this! It looks futuristic and executive at the same time. Like Bruce Wayne piece of equipment. My favorite view mode is the calendar with the pictures which change by setting. The DPF70 has enough view to set on a desk. Otherwise, the v900 would be more appropriate. The number one thing is Elegance. This is it. Be aware that this has no sound or movie mode. For that you have to get the v900. I really don't see myself using them. I have plenty of other devices to run video and audio. In regards to the price. I am a strong believer of you get what you paid for. This is quality material. The resolution is higher than the cheaper ones and the light evens out with no see thru light spots. The one thing that I wish it had is the "pan and zoom" slideshow. I use it on my vista laptop and it is a very nice effect. Perhaps they have it in the future via a firmware upgrade. Nevertheless, this is awesome and I know I will enjoy it for years to come.

Frame is small. You have to place it close by like on an office desk to be able to see the pics.Mine has some problems displaying pics from the storage sticks/flash drives. Other than that the pics look very good on it.

I bought this as a present for my fiance and she loves it. I was worried because I had read a lot of reviews about digital photo frames having poor usability, but this frame is simple to use. All you need to do is plug in a memory card with photos and away it goes. I was was surprised by the 'clock' and 'calender' modes- they're really neat. The manual is helpful and accurate. The auto-rotate works slick.
PS (the "Sony" logo at the bottom is a light, but it can be turned off in the settings)
