Two different 7" models?: ??? and DPF70-2 I think there are two different models of Pandigital 7" digital frame, because I saw two different boxes with different UPC codes at Kohl's today. One had a 128MB internal memory and is the DPF70-2 (two frame trims: black and cherry), and the other had a 64MB internal memory. The latter appears to be the one that amazon's web site is about (two frame trims: acrylic and black). Unfortunately, amazon doesn't seem to specific a model number or other useful designation to tell them apart; and Pandigital's own web site (pandigital.net) doesn't mention the existence of two 7" frames, nor even their new 10" frame. It is interesting how digital photo frames don't seem to specify the pixel resolution!

Just received a 7" model as a gift. It has 128MB internal memory. The manual says its display is 800X600 (dubious?); it does have a 4X3 aspect ratio.... The slide show plays fine, but there was no sound on an AVI clip I tried (the file played fine on PC). MP3s play OK and the sound from the little speakers is better than one would expect. I was able to load over 1300 photos (sized to 640X480) in internal memory and play in a slide show.

I think you're correct and would stay with current firmware. I didn't realize they were coming out with a 10" frame. I'd be interested in more info on that. Is it posted anywhere? Thanks

Yes, apparently a "Standard HD" has 720 pixels. This one has 1080 pixels and is referred to as a "Full HD."

Yeah, Amazon's got this info really messed up...I can't figure out what the difference is between this model and one $40 cheaper, as apparently they're both Atoms with 2GB and 64GB storage. The price difference would make sense if one of them had more storage (or SOMETHING), but I can't figure out what the difference is.

I've just read the specifications of these 2 models on Sony web site. In addition to the 4000 images (model X1000), there is only another difference which is the TruBlack feature. That's all. The rest is exactly the same. You can see the features comparison of these models on Sony Photo Frame web page. I have bought a DPF 8 inches. It has a perfect image even in a lower resolution than that of V1000. I'm very pleased with this Sony photo frame. I'm willing now to buy the DPF 10 inches.

Too bad the eStarling 7" resolution is only 480x270. My Timex Ironman watch has a better resolution than that.Also, the frame only seems to support .JPGs and the widescreen format doesn't seem to be 4x6.Why can't Philips make a frame that has wireless, or even wired, network support? I'd love to have a Flickr stream, but the DPFs with the good LCD panels don't have wireless, and the ones with wireless (eStarling, and others) have terrible LCDs.

Apparently the 16GB and 128GB cards are U1. The 32 and 64's are U3.As you may already have discovered, Amazon commonly mixes descriptions of products that are basically the same brand and model, but that vary in sub-model. Always take their descriptions with a grain of caution, and refer to the manufacturer's website for more accuracy.

Here is the comparison page from Oppo's website:http://www.oppodigital.com/dv981hd/dv981hd_comp.htmlThe main advantage of the 981 is the Faroudja chip, which delivers better-quality upscaling on non-DLP displays. The 981 also offers better-quality PAL->NTSC conversion than Oppo's other two models. Otherwise, as you pointed out, the other two models offer a lot of additional features (I wish my 981 had a memory-stick or USB input!). However, since you have a DLP, you probably want to get the 980 anyway (as the chart indicates). The Faroudja has a notorious "macroblocking" problem when used in conjunction with a lot of DLP displays.

I just bought a digital frame and have the same question. Supposedly it's 480x220 but just like you - that leaves space top and bottom. I tried various other dimensions but have yet to fill the frame. 450x240 is close but not quite there and the frame is probably doing some unwanted manipulation to the picture.Have you gotten any clues from elsewhere?

Where did you get this information? Don't spread false rumors please. On the netgear forums you can actually see people post pics of both pcbs with identical components. Nothing was changed except the outer box. THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME. 3700 v2 has not come out yet. Pretty much all you want is to look for the rev21 boards as those are the best ones out there. For the 3700 usually a red box means its rev21 the yellow boxe means you need to check the upc to make sure. 37av is the same as a red box rev21.The major rev you need to stay away from is rev15, its reported with the most major problems.http://forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php?t=52714&page;=1 Where did you get this information?

Thanks; I'd missed that comment in the dpreview review. Seems to contradict what I found at kenrockwell.com/tech/cf-sd.htm -- basically, that a faster card matters for downloading (e.g. camera to computer) but not in modern cameras unless you overflow their internal buffer memory. Ken's description sounds like picture-taking speed won't be inhibited with a slower card because of the camera's buffer, which is what I care about most. Slower playback and downloading is fine. In other words, write speed is more important to me than read speed and apparently the camera's buffer effectively compensates for slower cards when writing to them.

I think there are guides online, but I woulnd't bother: http://robbury.com/pandigital-photo-frame-video-format-nightmare.html

Yes, 640 "480" pixels and 1920 "1080" it is the resolution. The P or I is a little more complex but it means progressive or interlaced. Progressive gives the full frame every frame but interlaced with give horizontal frame and then the vertical frame back and forth. Progressive is much better than interlaced because it is capable of giving more full frames per second. Imagine 60 frames per second, you would get 30 horizontal frames and 30 vertical with interlaced. With progressive you would get all 60 vertical and horizontal at the same time, as the whole picture doesn't go back and forth. The end result is a more fluent picture with progressive. I'm not a pro or anything but this is my general understanding.

In a nutshell no, my two frames had many problems and one was the frame would mess up about 5 pics of 75 and display them sideways.I strongly suggest buying any other frame as their customer service was non existent.

A lot of the memory products have incorrect photos attached to them on Amazon. Lots of S)-DIMM's (2.625" long) have photos of U-DIM's (5.25" long). Buy at your peril!

Both ADPF07SF and ADPF08SF (the most basic 7 and 8 inch frames) do not have calendars. However, ADMPF108F, the 8" digital photo frame with built-in memory does! If you would like a picture, feel free to email info@aluratek.com. We don't have any nice pictures to post right now but I'm sure we can email one to you if you would like to see!

I think it is because Amazon lumps all of the vendors who sell D50's into one category. Some sell it with XP and some with W7. I purchased this and got W7, which is what I wanted. You should check (if possible) with the individual seller first.
