8" PanTouch - Excellent Photo Frame!

Review Date: September 19, 2008

Reviewer: M. Mendoza,

Picture quality is great, images are clear (assuming the photo you are viewing isn't blurry to start!) and colors are rich and accurate. I found this frame easy to use right out of the box, and I like the pan touch feature. I don't need photos to play in order and don't use wi-fi, so those were not issues for me. Price through Amazon is probably the best I found after searching all over the internet. If you are thinking about getting this frame but are still shopping around for price, make sure you check out the specifications. For example, at Costco they sell the frame for a similar price but when you check the specs you will see the frame only has 128 or 256 MB (as opposed to 512 MB) of memory and doesn't have the pan touch feature

*** UPDATE ***
11/25/08

I looked up the 8" PanTouch on Amazon today because I am thinking about getting another one as a gift for my husband for Christmas, and after seeing the revised item description and reviews, I felt compelled to update my review. When I first reviewed the PanTouch in 9/08 it was fairly new and there were only a few reviews. Now, it looks like Amazon has combined all the different types and sizes of Pandigital frames into one item with a pull down menu and also consolidated the reviews for these different frames. Please read carefully when you are reading the review to make sure it applies to the frame you are considering!

I cannot speak to the other frames, but as far as the 8" PanTouch, I stand by my original review. The frame performs well, is easy to use, pictures look great and the frame looks great on my desk. I will say that I agree with some of the other reviewers that the frame stand is a little loose, if I hit the frame it will fall back, but for the most part this has not been a problem. Hope this helps!

Happy!

Here's what I wanted: a digital frame that displayed really nice, high resolution pictures with a frame (border) that would work with my home decor. And that's what this delivers. I can't speak for the sound or video.

Pros:
+ Picture quality is GREAT!
+ Frame is nice
+ Easy to get pictures onto the internal memory
+ Remote
+ Auto shut off is handy

Cons:
- Clock is stuck on all of the pictures and won't shut off - but it's small and relatively unobtrusive
- The touch screen/menus don't work too well, but works perfectly with the remote ... just don't lose the remote!

I bought one for myself and will be buying them as gifts.

Great Digital Frame

This was a mother's day gift that I couldn't wait to give. It has a great picture and is extremely easy to use. Give it power and connect the USB to load your pictures, videos or music.

The 800x600 resolution works great for your photos and eliminates having to resize or crop them. This keeps the photo from having the black bars on the sides for your horizontally oriented photos.

It includes two frames, black and dark brown, as well as a small remote to control the unit. I would recommend this unit to any!

Best One on the Market for Reasonable Price

Out of several that we researched, and after trying several different brands, this one is one of the easiest to use and has great picture quality. Even though it is a little more pricey, the quality is worth it. So many of the others had poor color quality, or they were extremely cumbersome and difficult to transfer images to. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good, quality product for viewing your pictures.

Awesome quality and very easy to use

Bought two of these frames after reading a lot of on-line reviews. The process of copying pictures to the frames was extremely easy (drag and drop). I haven't tried the video and music capabilities. I would drop my rating by 1/4 star if I could because the frame doesn't really seem to randomize the pictures when that feature is enabled. No big deal and I don't find that it distracts from the quality and usefulness of the frame. I bought these as presents and am considering one for myself.
