 Nice DPF January 16, 2008

Bought this for my wife for her Birthday just before Xmas and she bought me (unknown to myself) one that's more than twice the price for Xmas. So I had the chance to compare. Conclusion is that it's not worth paying twice the price, you don't get any better quality. My wife is delighted with the Axion display. You should resize the pics to optimise them for the frame resolution though (640x480) since I think the problems the other users have had is that the frame probably doesn't do such a good job at downsizing. Microsoft have a utility to right click a group of files in explorer and it quickly duplicates them at the appropriate resolution. Just google for "Microsoft Powertoys" and download the image resizer from the webpage. Advantage of doing this is the files drop from around 2mB in size to more like 80kB so you can fit tons of pics on a small cheap SD card. Only downside for me is the widescreen aspect ratio of the frame. Natural aspect ratio of photographs is narrower than widescreen, so there's always unused area at the sides of the pictures. Would be OK if it played video files, but it doesn't. Not a big gripe considering how cheap the frame is though. Don't forget, you need a memory card! The frame has no memory built in.

I just received my AXN-9702, and it only took me 15 minutes to realize it was a low quality product. "Made in China", it says on the bottom.
The documentation is sparse and is written in poorly interpreted English. For example, on the outside of the box it says, "Powerful Built-In a Speaker" (no, the "a" is not my typo - it really says that on the box). The User Manual is not a book, but rather a fan-folded piece of paper with front-and-back print. There is no information whatsoever on how data is allowed to reside on your flash drive or memory card. The instructions, again in bad English, are also misleading. For example, here is the actual directions provided in the User Manual for "Basic play" (all capitalization and punctuation verbatim to manual): "Power on the unit then enter the main menu, the screen shows 8 functions, e.g.: photo, music, photo + music, setup, calendar, clock, alarm and copy/delete." "Insert a USB data traveler or SD/MMC/XD/MS card first, press NAVIGATION BUTTON to select one of the following function." That is the entire instructions for Basic Play. Note that your USB flash drive is called a USB data traveler, not a flash drive.
I loaded my pictures on a Sony MemoryStick and inserted it into the frame, but it would not read them. I then took the same MemoryStick, put it in my MemoryStick reader (that plugs into a USB port and reads the MemoryStick as a flash drive), then plugged the reader into the USB port on the frame. The pictures read fine. I reversed the process and verified that the frame was unable to read the MemoryStick in the MemoryStick port (i.e. the unit had a defective card reader).
Lastly, the digital picture resolution is low, making straight lines on photos look jagged.
I am glad that Amazon has an easy Return policy. I am disappointed in many aspects of this unit. Poor quality workmanship, poor documentation, poor picture.
Best value digital frame by far! January 16, 2008

This is the best value 7" digital frame by far. I work in computer business and I find this digital frame a great value. I bought 2 units a while back for myself and a gift to a best friend. My friend loved it and after I tried it, I too loved it. This unit is easy to use and has clock and calendar. When I am not watching photos, I switch it to clock mode. If I want to take a nap, I turn on the alarm to wake me up. It works great at home or in office; the picture loading speed is fast. The screen is sharp and bright. I just can't ask for more. I would recommend this unit to any one. Others are selling over $80 and this unit (with clock/calendar/alarm) only sells for under $80. I give it a 95 out of 100.
Neat DPF with Clock and Alarm Functions January 16, 2008

Pleasantly surprised with this product. The menu is easy to use with good quality display. I love the Clock and Alarm functions. Have replaced my alarm clock with this digital frame. It looks nice next to my bed. I wish it would have a video function, however, I am very happy with this product and would recommend to others looking to buy a simple and easy to use frame.
 Good and cheap. March 7, 2008

This was inexpensive and I was leery of what I was going to get. I was pleasantly surprised. It is very stylish and easy to use right our of the box. Buy a SD card so you can load pictures, or thumbdrive or connect directly to your computer.
I don't think you need to go to a super high resolution on a picture frame. You just want something to show lots of photos. The resolution is good and it will also play music.
