Product Description
No more is a picture frame dedicated to one picture. Now you can display dozens on one frame and changing pictures is remarkably easy. Of course, these are pictures you've taken with a digital-camera. Images are transferred directly to the Matsunichi PF7E digital picture frame by way of your camera's digital-memory storage card (CompactFlash not supported). So here's the best way to view your digital pix. It's the new evolution of the photo album that needn't be stored in a drawer or a closet. Place it on the wall, a desk, dresser, or table. View images all the time in static or slideshow modes. It's a delightful accessory for any digital camera owner or as a gift to a special person. Push Button User Interface Wall-Mounting Supported with Built-In Brackets Rotating Stand for positioning in Portrait or Landscape Orientation Auto Start Slideshow after Power On Matsunichi One Year Warranty

 Poor quality but not a bad frame for the price November 11, 2008
I was a little disappointed with this product for several reasons. 1) The picture quality is poor. Pictures are grainy and do not have the same crisp, clear quality that other digital picture frames have. 2) The frame is plastic and looks very cheap. 3) The frame appears to be a bit fickle when it comes to accepting memory cards. I tried two different (one old and one brand new) SD cards--both worked in my PC. The new card could not be recognized by the frame, and the older card worked just fine.
All in all, for the money, this is not a bad digital picture frame. It does what it is supposed to do, which is show pictures. After setup is complete, it is easy to operate. However, if you're looking for a frame that will display your photos in their best light, I would look for a higher quality digital picture frame.
 Great Gift, Would buy again!!! September 29, 2008
I bought two photo frames as a gift for each of my parents. It has a sleek black look to it, so it doesn't look cheap at all. Perfect size for a desk or table, not too big, not too small. Easy set-up for me, 30 seconds maybe. Plug in, turn on, put SD card in, it automatically defaults to Options, select View as side show and then Enter. After reading some reviews I was worried about the clarity of the pictures. I was pleasantly surprised. The clarity was really good, nice and bright. My 60 year old father could stand a couple feet away and still see it. I don't know if it makes any difference but I used a digital camera with 7.0 megapixels when taking my pictures. All in all my parents love them. I will definitly look for this one again if I decide to buy one for myself.
Good for the price September 15, 2008
I wanted this frame to display my pictures at work. It does what I wanted and looks better than I thought. The pictures look good and it is easy to use.
Good value with a caveat September 7, 2008

This is an economical digital picture frame with a small caveat. First, as if you needed this bit of advice, look for it on sale. A sale price makes it an even better value thsn it already is.
You get what you pay for. The screen is good-sized, but the resolution is a bit on the coarse side. Purists who want super-fine resolution will not be pleased with this unit - but they will pay three times more to get that super-fine resolution. As it is, the resolution on this screen should be adequate for most people. By the way, I found that reducing the images to 800 x 600 provides a nice balance between image quality and image size. Roughly 100 photos required only 36 Megabytes of storage.
There are thirteen transition mode and choosing a random pattern provides an interesting slide show. You can also choose the display time: 3, 5, 10 or 30 seconds.
Viewing angles are somewhat limited, but this isn't designed to provide auditorium presentations. Color reproduction is faithful to the original, so the time you put in on color correcting your photos will not be wasted.
The nasty part concerns image viewing size and a certain inflexibility in presentation.
That's the good news. Here is the drawback.
There are three display modes: Normal, Widescreen and Cinema.
Cinema strikes me as useless: it stretches the left and right sides while trying not to stretch the center to fill the 16:9 screen. The results are grotesque.
The Normal mode displays the original without changing the aspect ratio. Thus, regular photos will occupy only a portion of the 7" screen, which strikes me as something of a waste. So, either crop your photos as close to a 16:9 ratio as you can or live with the black sidebars.
The Widscreen mode enlarges the photo to fill the 16:9 screen. Note the word "enlarges". It lops off parts of the top, bottom, right and left sides and adds a somewhat unappealing stretching on some photos. The close-up you took of Aunt Margaret will add the appearance of about of thirty extra pounds to her face.
Your best bet to optimize the value of the 7" screen is to take the extra time and crop to a 16:9 ratio. Alternatively, you can just leave a lot of space around your main subjects to accomodate the trimming of the image in Widescreen mode.
On the whole, this is an economical digital picture frame withe caveat discussed above. Do look around for this on sale to maximize value.

Cheap and workable. September 3, 2008
Good for the price. Pretty hard to get the memory card out without using a tool. Grandma was really happy!
