 Wow, is this AWFUL. DO NOT BUY!Jun 21, 2007
By Bryan C. Marye
"Popps"
Horrific picture. Terrible quality and on top of it, there is a laundry-list of restrictions on using the item, ranging from having a 6MP camera or higher, to no Macintosh! You can't just take a jpeg and put it on a disk. This is a horribly designed product and the fact that they call it "smartparts" is irony of epic proportions.
Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

 It doesn't suck. It's just not very good.Jan 25, 2008
By Dave Sanborn
"... is waiting for the other shoe to drop."
I bought this with the walnut frame in 7", electronically the same unit. It was cheap enough that I was willing to work around its limitations, which are:
- low dynamic range renders bright areas as white, darker areas as black rather than showing details in shadow or brightness
- low resolution: it's 480x270 as best as I can tell, which I don't call "hi-resolution".
- can't change speed that it cycles through photos
My workarounds are to manually edit and adjust the contrast and color gamut of my pictures and resize my images to 960x540, exactly 4x larger than the frame displays. Sure it's wasted pixels, but when I buy another frame with the same ratio display, I won't have to edit the pictures again and they'll have high enough resolution to look good elsewhere. Use a decent photo editor like Adobe Photoshop Elements to adjust the dynamic range and pump up the saturation. DON'T use the included software Optipix Pro that's bundled with the frame, it's amazingly bad. It takes a directory of photos and resizes them to 1024x768 which isn't the ratio of the frame's display thus all pictures then have black bars on them. Dreadful. If you're willing to edit your pictures it's a decent, no-frills frame.

Size MattersJan 13, 2009
By J. Voertman
Compared to the Smartparts SP72, this unit requires some care & handling. It couldn't process full-size JPEG files (5-7 MB) with any speed at all. I had to resize the files to under 1 MB and reload before it could process them for a slideshow with reasonable speed. Resolution OK (480x234), don't know if other makes at same res are sharper. Clear acrylic on black is a neat look, though.
