I purchased this for my girlfriend last Christmas and included an SD memory card preloaded with pictures. It has not been unplugged since (which has cured some of my fears of longevity). As one of the other reviews mentions; there is an issue with aspect ratios. However, the only pictures that I have had difficulties with are those that are taken in vertical orientations. The vast majority of my horizontal pictures fill the entire screen and are relatively clear. I would appreciate the presence of an on/off switch but it is not a deal breaker. Over all, it is a “cute” product and most girls will probably appreciate it just for that fact. A little more stylish than most of the digital pic frames on the market. However, there are better ones out there.

I got this as a gift for my father in law and it has performed flawlessly. He is non-tech and had no difficulties running it. Picture quality is excellent.   The digital photo frame’s designers realize that you can get bored of simply browsing through snapshots of old vacations and tiredfamily photos: While the device does promise storage for up to 6400 images, it also throws in options for music, video and recipes. You can also tap into other content from your networked computers and/or the Web, using a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection. However, you will need to purchase an optional adapter for each of these features. PanDigital sells the Wi-Fi one for $24. Any Bluetooth one will do, but the PanTouch Clear doesn’t come with either.

In the package, the 8-inch screen is a bit large for an office desk, but perfect for the living room, bedroom, kitchen or other area of the house. It’s also versatile, with three decorative paper mats, so you can match the look to your room or your mood. Keyhole slots on the back of the frame also make it good for mounting. Of course, if you mount, you’ll have the power cord to contend with, as well as the magnetic remote. (Yes, the remote is magnetized, and sticks to the back of the frame so you might actually remember where you left it.) Other than that, the unit comes with a USB cable, a quick start guide and a user guide.

Christmas is right around the corner. One of our favorite gift ideas is the digital photo frame. PanDigital produces a good quality photo products for all of your gifting needs. The latest in their line is the PanTouch Clear, in an 8-inch model, check it out.
