Sony DPF-D80 8-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame Black

Product Description

Get more entertainment for you and your family from your photos with Sony DPF-D80 8-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black). Store up to 500 1.5 MP images that you can display as single pictures, multiple thumbnails, or slideshow presentations. The 7-inch widescreen (4:3) LCD screen showcases your cherished memories in VGA resolution (800 x 600) and vivid color, while an Auto Orientation sensor automatically rotates your photos into portrait or landscape format. Direct USB input from most digital cameras and support for most memory cards makes it easy for virtually anyone to transfer photos and relive meaningful events. Clock and calendar display modes and an included remote control provide added convenience.

Handles large data files The S-Frame can also handle data files up to 100MB in size. This means that image files that have been edited on a PC, which tends to increase file size, can be displayed smoothly.

Room for all your memories The large internal memory offers room to store hundreds of your most precious memories. The DPF-D80 has a 256MB internal memory that holds up to 500 images. The S-Frame enables you to save the data saved in its internal memory to other memory cards.

Fast beyond expectations What's even more impressive about the S-Frame is that it does all this quickly, without the frustration of waiting ages for images to load. All S-Frames offer fast image decoding, eliminating the frustration of waiting ages for images to load from memory cards or the internal memory. On models equipped with a BIONZ processor, this speed is truly phenomenal and even a 12-megapixel photo taken on a Cyber-shot W200 can be displayed in just 1.7 seconds. (For the D70 without BIONZ, images are displayed in 1.9 seconds.)

Create original photo albums The S-Frame offers you an endless variety of ways to create your own unique digital photo albums for yourself and friends. The photo album function copies data in memory cards, automatically resizing photos to optimum image size (equivalent to 1.5 megapixels) and storing them in the album's large internal memory, ready for instant replay.

Due to its many functions and ease of use most members of your family would be thrilled to receive this digital photo frame. Here are some of its features:

Multi-format card slot The multi-format card slot supports a wide range of memory cards such as Memory Stick, Memory Stick Duo, SD, MMC, CompactFlash, Microdrive, and xD-Picture Card. This enables a simple plug-and-play display of images shot on most digital cameras. M2, miniSD and MicroSD are compatible via an adaptor.

Automatic rotation of images The photo frame automatically rotates images to their proper orientation. Images are also automatically rotated when the photo frame is set in either the portrait or landscape position.

True-to-life detail Every nuance of the original image is faithfully reproduced on the S-Frame thanks to the high-quality WVGA LCD. The 1.15 megapixel high-definition Clear Photo LCD renders tremendously detailed, realistic images that have vivid colors and contrast, and a sense of naturalness so real that you feel you could reach into the photo and touch what you see.

Fit to screen, or full image--it's your choice The S-Frame offers both fit-to-screen and full-image modes. In fit-to-screen mode, the aspect ratio of the image is adjusted so that the image fills the entire screen. In full-image mode, the image is displayed in the original horizontal-to-vertical ratio, surrounded by margins on all four sides. The DPF-D80 offers a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Future camera milestone ready The S-Frame can display images of up to 48 megapixels, which supports most compact and DSLR cameras, a significant design breakthrough realized by the foresight of Sony--a leader in the digital imaging industry.

This Sony DPF-D80 8-Inch LCD Digital Photo Frame (Black) is a top of the line product and a must have for every family.

Are you trying to figure out what to give as a gift this holiday season? Here are some key points that may persuade you to opt for a digital picture frame rather than either a standard frame or a photo album. The facts that digital frames can store large numbers of photos and that no cost or resource is required to print physical copies of the photographs.

Digital photo frames can store thousands of photos on a variety of electronic memory devices - some frames have their own internal memory, but for those that don't, cheap memory cards can be used as the storage medium. The photos stored in this manner can be automatically cycled through to display a slide show with preset timings between different images - or the picture on display can be set in static mode and then changed manually.

This ability to store many more photographs than even the largest traditional bound album is a major benefit. No more rooting around in the attic or searching through old shoe boxes looking for that photo you've just remembered about.

After doing a ton of research, I settled on this frame mostly by process of elimination (and the fact that while there are not a ton of reviews on Sony frames, they are mostly all good). I eliminated many others because (1) most other frames are not in the 4:3 aspect ratio (meaning black bars on your pics); (2) most other frames have mediocre reviews (for example, no...

The frame displays photos very well, and adjusts them well to fit the frame. The small remote control is powered by a little disk battery and is very weak. To use the RC, you have to be a foot or so from the frame and point it exactly at the lower right corner of the frame. I loaded the frame with pictures and gave it to my 85-year-old mother, who has zero chance of...

I bought a pair of these after reading and studying many many LCD frames (although it is the first one for me to purchase). Quality of the image was most important - I simply do not care for putting mp3's or video on this, our family just needs to 'unlock' all the 1000's of pictures that reside in my PC.

The 800x600 resolution and picture quality is outstanding, and as mentioned the menu system is very straightforward. I bought a second unit for my in-laws (they live in China and do not speak any English) so having a unit that runs on 120/220V was important, as well as having menus in different languages (this unit has a lot of languages). I was even able to download a Chinese-language manual and print it out for the in-laws (they do not have a computer) so they should be all set.
