I actually own the 562 not the 561 but can't see the difference on their website. I really liked the display of this and overall ease of use, however there are a couple issues which make me not recommend this frame.
1) The desktop stand is loose. It came off any time I touched the frame. It would be nice if it snapped in, but it just kind of sits in the slot made for it loosely.. This can probably be rigged to stay in place but in general seems like a poor design.
2)The slide show does not loop automatically. Anytime you power it down and power it back on( and no I don't mean unplugging it, just using the switch to cycle the power) the slide show loop resets to 1 play. So at the when you get to the end of your photos on the card, it stops playing and displays a thumbnail view. I contacted support and they had this to say
"I checked with the testing dept. and this is true of the NV562. It will
reset to the original setting after the power has been cycled.
Regards,
DSI Technical Support"
To me this should be a fundamental feature. You turn it on and photos are constantly displayed in a looping fashion. For this issue alone, I returned the frame.
 Best Christmas gift for Grandparent! January 12, 2007

We bought this as a Christmas gift for my grandmother who lives in a nursing home. She loves it! With space so limited, the ability to hold an endless slideshow of pictures in a small space is a huge bonus. It was easy to load even for my techically challenged mother, and now they are downloading pictures from extended family from Atlanta to Tampa to Texas. My Grandmother can see the screen clearly and hold it in her lap, and the ability to view a slideshow without turning the pages of an album is a plus for her limited mobility. This gift worked exactly as described, expected, with no difficulties, and filled a need like nothing else. I can think of a hundred people I would give this to when the price comes down, including myself!

Bought two; both worked perfectly out of the box, no problems. Easy to load pictures, not very technical. Was exactly what we wanted for family members. Ideal for relatives, baby pictures, etc. Only problem is pictures do not necessarily show full screen, depending on your original jpeg. Would buy a few more any day.

This is the first digital picture frame I bought. The quality is ok... the pictures seem very pixilated. The actual picture size is also closer to 3.5 to 4 inches. For the price you pay, I'm sure you can find a better deal.

I bought this for my mom and grandma and it's really simple if you're using a secure digital card! Just plug in and turn on and it plays. Everyone complains about the display, but it's like any other LCD display: it's not perfect but it's not less than I expected. It's easy (once my grandma found the on/off switch) and a nice piece to have around at family gatherings...THE ONLY ISSUE: A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED. They were very vague and makes you not even want to explore other things it may have on it.
