What's great about it: everything so far
What's not so great: can't think of anything negative
Bought this for my picture taking nut wife. She now can take her pictures with her wherever she goes. The display is nice and bright, it's easy to use. Can't see why any photo taker would not like this.

What's great about it: Cheap, decent pic quality, battery powered
What's not so great: Very few limited features, could be useless for a lot of people
I was looking for something to carry around to show pics of my home renovation. Also wanted battery-powered.
The pics look OK.
The slideshow is "random" only. I want to show progress chronologocally. However since the slide show is random only, I have to page back and forward to show steps in proper order.
The page forward and back functions stink! You press the forward button, and some time later the image will eventually change.
I will be looking further for a better viewer. Fortunately I'm not out a lot of dollars.
They could have added a few more user-friendly features, added ten more dollars to the price, and had a real winner.
Sometimes I question the marketing "genius" of these manufacturers.
If twenty bucks is not a lot of loney for you, and you have very few needs for the missing features, then this unit is for you.
Otherwise, don't waste your money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to use, good price
What's not so great: Won't display all of the photo's
I got this for a gift and wanted to preload with pics. The instructions were easy and I was able to download most of the pics. The problem is that 4 photo's will not show up. They show downloaded but no image appears. Other than that, this product is exactly what I was looking for. Small, portable and fun.

What's great about it: Great gift, Easy to load, Great price, Great picture quality
What's not so great: Battery only lasts a couple of hours before it needs charging
I bought one for my wife for our anniversary. I loaded it with about 200 pictures (will store many more) spanning our 24 years of marrage and gave it to her over tea at a B.C. Tea House. She broke into tears and placed it on the table for us to view while enjoying each other's company. She said it was a perfect gift and since it fits easily in her purse, she carries it everywhere she goes to show people pictures of the family. It works perfect and is easy to load. If you got what I got as a result of this frame, you will be a true fan of this product.

What's great about it: Ease of Use, Quality
What's not so great: Nothing
I just got this in the mail today, set it up in a few minutes, and it's great! It's easy to set up, and easy to use. So easy, as a matter of fact, that I want to get one (maybe a little larger for her# for my Mom for Christmas. I'm going to preload a card #not included) with pictures and send it to her and all she has to do is plug it in and turn it on. It does include a rechageable battery so you can use the frame for about 2 hours without needing to be charged. It has great picture quality. You don't even need a computer to use this. It has a nice case which would be great to take on a family trip to show off pictures or use at work. I would highly recommend this!

What's great about it: size and picture quality
What's not so great: will not show anything but JPEG format, not even JPG...
I don't know what the difference is, but the picture must be in JPEG format not JPG format or it will not show them. It will only show a "JPG" icon on the screen. The documentation indicates that JPG format is acceptable. I talked to the tech people at Best Buy and they don't know what is wrong. I will be returning the device even though my wife loved the size and pictures.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: good price, easy to use, great display, carrying case
I bought this for my mom so that she can always have pictures of the grandkids with her. She loves it! It is easy to use and she loves showing it off to her friends. She says it is, "way better than the tiny display on the keyrings." She also loves the cute carrying case it came with.

What's great about it: Good price
I originally bought this for my dad last year for Christmas. He is an avid hunter and puts out deer cameras on his land to see what he has coming in. Well, his land is 45 minutes from home, so he always had to wait until he got home to see what was on the camera. With that in mind, I knew I wanted to get him something that he could view the pictures with that was portable and yet not too small. I came across this item in a search and it looked like it would work out great! When I gave it to him for Christmas, he loved it! I think it was his favorite 'toy' that year! The carrying case is a great idea so that he doesn't have to worry about scratching it. The viewer size is perfect so he can actually see the size of the deer and not just a blurry brown blob. After giving this to my dad, my husband pulled me aside and said he wouldn't mind having one for himself! So this year for Christmas, my husband got one too! For $50, it's the perfect portable accessory for looking at pictures wherever you may be!

What's great about it: It was not complicated to upload photos and choose the settings.
What's not so great: Short battery life
This small photo frame is handy to carry in your bag with its own carrying case. It could easity replace your traditional "brag book". I bought this for my mother for Mother's day and she loves it.

What's great about it: Poratble. Good size picture
I don't know if it's the same as the one I had before but it looks like it has the same attributes. The one I had said HP on the case.
Unfortunately, my Scottie chewed it up. I've been looking everywhere for a replacement and hope this fits the bill. These other digital frames (keyholder size) are not worth it.

What's great about it: Clear/Bright Picture, Good Style, Great Price
What's not so great: Battery life is only ok, not much built in memory
This is a great little picture frame. The picture quality is excellent, and the styling is good as well. Very easy to use, and it is the perfect size for my desk at work. Battery life and memory might be a downside for some, but I have it plugged into an outlet and memory cards are cheap, so not a big deal for me. Caught it on sale for $34.99, but even at regular price is a great deal.

What's great about it: Easy to use, portable, good price
What's not so great: small internal memory
I bought this digital album for my wife and she loves it. She loves that it is portable and can toss it in her purse or laptop bag unlike a digital photo frame. This album is very simple to use.
The only complaint is that the internal memory is small, but that is not a deal breaker. If you are going to pick one of these up, make sure that you already have a memory card to put into the album, or plan to purchase one with the album.
I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who is looking for good portable way to show off digital pictures.

What's great about it: Very easy to load images and use and the protective case works great.
What's not so great: Nothing
The Insignia® 3.5" Portable LCD Digital Photo Frame was purchased for my wife. Grammy works as a school teacher and she just had a new grandaughter over Christmas. I went to the hosptal and took some pictures, and loaded them on the portable viewer frame. I gave it to her on Christmas and she was thrilled. She took it to work to show off our new grandauter with her coworkers. She is very happy with the portable frame and happy with the battery life, I think I have only had to charge it once since she got it. Loading the images into the frame memory or using a memory card is very easy, but remember to use an email setting on your camera to get the most images on the frame no let down with the image displaying.

What's great about it: User friendly, SD memory card, good price, comes with a case
Very happy overall. This frame is user friendly and fits easily into my purse. I can store as many pictures as I want depending on whichever size SD card I choose. I am not limited to an internal memory. There is no extra software for my computer, either. The controls are very easy to learn and use and I am happy with the picture quality. Excellent value for the price!

What's great about it: uses sd cards which can come from camera or be loaded on PC
What's not so great: needs longer battery life
I bought the frame as a gift for wife who complained about not having digital images to use as simply as carrying photographs. It can safely be carried in a pocket or purse and with sd cards, can carry 100s of images. I took time to review iPhoto and loaded memorable family jpegs from the past 4 years.The present was thoroughly appreciated!
