I looked at several brands of digital photo frames. Every time I came back to the Sony because it stands out for picture quality, sharpness, features (lots of features), ease of operation. Even if immediately you don't think you would use all of the features, pay the money and get it anyway. You'll be surprised how all of a sudden one or more of those features is a neat thing to have. The internal memory is large, slideshow, individual view, and picture selection from any source is so simple you can start using most of the features right out of the box. Even the owners manual is extremely user friendly. Yes the price was a bit much but put the Sony next to the others on the market and there is no comparison for picture quality. One downside: you have to use a power cord. I found a couple of portable power sources but power plug on the Sony is not the typical power recepticle found on most products. Thanks Sony....how about making a portable source available? I would love to place the frame on a table for display without having to find a place to plug it in. I found only one brand of frame with a built in battery but the picture quality was no where near the Sony so I opted for the Sony hoping that I could find a portable power pack or hope I will always have a place to plug it in. Price is starting to come down so be patient if price is your obstacle. It is well worth the wait.
 This is the first digital frame that I have liked... August 15, 2008

...and I've owned four of them.
My requirements were pretty simple -- a high-quality LCD and the ability to play from a large selection of pictures, either randomly (my preference) or by shoot date (my wife's preference). I went through three frames that choked on large numbers of pictures, had washed-out displays, and/or couldn't play randomly or sequentially. I was surprised by how poorly conceived and tested these frames were. (Here's a prior rant on the Digital Foci IMT-081 Image Moments Digital Photo Frame.)
But the DPF-V900 is a fine frame. It has a clean design; has a sharp, bright LCD; and has no problem with my 4300 pictures (and is good for up to 10,000, according to the manual).
Bottom line is that, while not perfect, the DPF-V900 is a real product from a real company that has done some real quality control. As far as I can tell, that's the state of the art in the digital frame business right now.
Finally, a very good Digital Photo Frame August 1, 2008

A DPF has been on our wishlist for a long time but we have been put off by the reviews, mostly critical. Sony has now come up with a pricey but solid, well built, attractive and intuitively programmed unit with an LCD screen that presents supurb images. It includes lots of image display and data presentation options to tinker with. It would be nice if it had a battery, if for no other reason than to facilitate loading it from the computer, since the corded transformer is clunky and so heavy that it can drag the unit off the table. Clock functions are counter-intuitive and poorly described in the manual. Sony says that the TIFF image file format is compatable but we found that not to be the case. So instead, we Photoshop-converted our Web GIF photos to BMP, which worked fine.
In all, DPF's have finally arrived with this Sony product. We're delighted with it.

I purchased one of the first photo frames to hit the market (by Kodak)...over five years ago, and I was hoping the technology would have improved a bunch since then. It hasn't. Let me also mention that I am a perfectionist who is willing to spend what it takes to get best gadgets, as long as they follow through with my high expectations. In this case the DPF-V900 did not meet my tough standards. This device is a mix of some nice features mixed with too many negatives. Here are my issues:
1. They built a really nice looking frame but then hobbled it with a 15:9 aspect ratio - HUH? Why waste such a beautiful display? Now you get to decide if you want to crop all your pictures...or have black bars on display all the time.
2. I like it's classy looking calendar mode and calendar font selection. So many of the cheap Chinese brands had UGLY Linux-looking calendars (sorry Linux you are ugly), but then they broke (IMHO) the "Clock" view by making the clock show not the current time, but the time the picture was taken. I'd would have prefered the current time.
3. No video playback. Not sure if I'd use it too much, but it would be nice as an option.
4. They added face recognition (cool), but then didn't use it in their "fit to screen" mode for portrait shots. So portrait shots cannot fill the screen.
5. They offered a classy sensor to sense when you re-oriented the screen to portrait mode...but then didn't do the work to make their menu's work in portrait mode.
6. They added a stylish looking Sony logo into the frame that can completely disapear, buy they didn't add a 2nd "Sony" logo along the left hand side, so you could have a logo in portrait mode (but at least they turn off the one logo when the orientation sensor since that you are in portrait mode.
7. HDMI output? Not very useful (IMHO), especially since they don't do video.
8. No way to wall mount it. Not only is their no mounts on the unit itself, but the power cable is black and thick and it has a power brick (you're stuck with). God, I'd love to find a nice looking unit that can be wall mounted (with the power brick built-in)!
I'm going to return this unit and get either one of the Kodak or Philips units.
Very happy with my purchase. May 26, 2008

I purchased the photo frame for the sleek look as well as the many viewing options. We love the ability to turn the photo frame into a analog clock for nightime use. The photo frame is a great way to show off pictures that are normally stuck in a photo album I love it.
