User Ratings and Reviews
1 Stars Biggest peice of junk ever
I got this because it has all these good reviews just to find out that it is junk. the picture quality is not excellent like everyone says. matter of fact the picture quality is very poor and the whites are washy and the blacks too. it puts lines through the pictures occasionally and lastly..it slowly moves my photos to the side. after it runs for about 2 days i have to turn it off to “reset”. every picture moves to the left just a tiny little bit and after the pics scroll through eventually you notice them shifting off the screen. DONT BUY THIS EVER. not even for a cheapy.
4 Stars Coby DP350 Review
This is a nice purse sized photo album with good quality pictures. I found setup a little awkward and the ability to select individual pics cumbersome, needing a software upgrade, I think. Still, I haven’t seen anything any better in this size at any price making it a reasonable choice to carry a bundle (up to 1000) of pictures for a proud parent or grandparent.
5 Stars nice frame
It is what it is… not to fancy, not too simple. It is easy to use and has a nice display window. I bought it for my grandmother as a gift and she was able to get it to work without any problems. I also like that it has several ways that it transitions between photos (ie. fade out, roll over into next pic, graphic cube fade….). I would recommend this item to anyone that is looking for a digital frame for their photos.
4 Stars DP350 Good and Bad
It looks as if reviews for various Coby photo viewing products have been mixed together. This review is for the Coby DP-350. It covers only the picture viewing capability, because I have not used the MP3 playing capability. The only type of memory cards I have used with the DP-350 have been SD’s.
What I like most about the DP-350 is that if you have your photos divided into folders, you can move through the folders and select a specific folder for viewing. This means you don’t have to move through perhaps hundreds of photos to find the ones you want. You can create the folders in the DP-350’s internal memory (about 1 GB) or on an SD memory card. (Perhaps other memory card types as well. I used only SD’s.)
The SD-350 will not let you choose subfolders within a folder. If you do have pictures within subfolders, the pictures will all appear in the parent folder.
When you connect the DP-350 to your computer with the USB cable, Windows Explorer treats the DP-350’s internal memory as one more drive. If you have a memory card inserted in the DP-350, it is treated as yet another drive. Using Windows Explorer, you can create or delete folders, copy folders from you hard drive (or maybe a CD), transfer pictures to the folders and delete pictures from the folders. If you want slide shows to be in a certain order, you must transfer the pictures to the folder in that order.
What I most dislike about the DP-350 are it’s 5 buttons. Push them a bit too slowly or not quite hard enough, and the button push is not recognized. Also, it would be nice if the buttons were a bit wider and a bit more rounded; if you use the buttons to move through pictures instead of running a slide show, your fingers will become slightly sore.
Another problem with the DP-350 is the delay between button push and response to the button push. This is not much of a problem if you are working with photos in the internal memory but can be annoying if you are working with a memory card with many folders and pictures. As you wait for a response, you wonder if perhaps you didn’t push the button just right. (The brand of SD memory cards I use come in different speeds. Using a faster memory card reduced the waiting time, but internal memory still worked much faster.) (Note: Another 3.5″ viewer I have is much faster when working with memory cards but does not allow the selection of folders.)
There are two features I wish the DP-350 had. The first would be the ability to jump from one page of 9 thumbnails or folders to the next or previous page without having to move through the folders or thumbnails one at a time. The other would be the ability to rotate pictures so that portrait oriented photos could be viewed in a somewhat larger size.
1 Stars Es una porquería
La imagen de este frame es pésima, se ven pixeladas las fotos, adicionalmente en 4:3 se ve la imagen muy pequeña y en 16:9 se deforma la imagen pues se ve alargada.
Realmente me siento estafado…!!!
