I'm thinking about buying this frame, because I like the look of it, and most of what I read. Question is, will it display photos in random order (as opposed to Kodak frames that start from the beginning every time you turn it on, and play the same photos in the same order every time)? I see Sony mentions a "random" view mode in the brochure, but it's not clear if that means displaying the photos in random order, or just using all the different view modes (clock view, calendar view, multi-image view, fade, wipe, etc.) in random order. Appreciate advice from anyone who has used the frame and can verify this. Thanks!

Using a mac and the iphoto export command, the resulting JPGs would not show up and give an error. I proceeded to use Photoshop's Export to JPG command, and again: nada. To make the pictures work, I had to create a Photoshop Custom Action that saved the images as BMP, closed them, reopened them and Save As JPG Baseline Standard... ANY OTHER setting would not work... I hope grandme remembers the steps to put pictures in... Oh, sad part? My Digicam is a SONY AS WELL!!!!!!!!

Compared to the Phillips, there is no comparison. The Sony blows it away. The finish is nicer, the transition and viewing choices are far better and the picture quality is not even in the same league. The other cool feature that I love is that in turning it from landscape to portrait your pictures and transitions turn as well adding versitility for a cubicle type office (close up viewing) as well as a bookshelf (viewing from up to 10 feet away).

Maybe if it lit up and you could disable it it wouldn't be so bad. Think I'll pass now --

Sure it's a monitor that you have to hook up to your computer but you'd think that something HALF the size wouldn't cost MORE?

They were called Cyberframes We sold them for $1299 and $899 back in the day. Almost every major news outlet has reported this wrong, now including giz.... but I still love you guys! ;)

]]> <![CDATA[Sony's Photo Frames: S-Frame DPF-V900, DPF-V700 and DPF-D70]]> that's the first thing I look for on these things...an absence of logo. Paint it nice and big on the back or something, I dont need marketing right below my family's smiling faces.

And the iPod doesn't need a logo, really... it's well into ubiquity and is iconic in-and-of itself.

It's nice to see a company, any company, paying a bit of attention to the much maligned (rightly so) Digi Photo Frame. If I see one more of these energy guzzling crap-fest churned out with crap specs and ill-thought out designs... i dunno. I'll boycott the internet or something.

But seriously - these things (in general) are seriously shit.

We are a culture that pays for something that we then own 100% fair and square but we sort of now accepted garish advertising like logos stuck on these things. I noticed the ipod does have a logo, but its far less obtrusive. I'm starting to dislike products that go much further than this. The iMac (and the laptops) have that Apple logo huge. When I think about it our whole culture is based on being shills for large companies who could give a damn, people walking around with T-shirts advertising products, cars with dealership advertising stuck on the trunk etc. What the heck is wrong with us?

]]> <![CDATA[Sony's Photo Frames: S-Frame DPF-V900, DPF-V700 and DPF-D70]]> I'd grab one if they could get rid of the big SONY logo on the front. It's fine for TV's, monitors, etc. but picture frames? Come on SONY.
