Sure, the prints looked good, but printing them took a long time, they cost about 35 cents apiece and some of the older relatives couldn't see them very well. I figured a digital photo frame would improve the whole process. My requirements were simple: the frame must have very high resolution, be small and lightweight (for packing in a carry-on suitcase), and accept images via a Memory Stick and also via a standard USB interface (which many, I found, do not). The Sony DPF-D810 meets all of my requirements with flying colors. The 800-by-600-pixel 8-inch-diagonal display is clear, crisp, bright and saturated. Photos display instantly, either singly, until you manually advance them, or in a slideshow with your choice of 10 time intervals from three seconds to 24 hours and with your choice of six...

I really wanted to offer a contrast to the only review (so far) for this product, since I had a far different experience. There are many menu options to customize the viewing experience, including a setting to change the delay between pictures from 3 seconds to 24 hours. There are also nine different types of slideshows, plus a random mix of those types available. Also in the menu options is a Shuffle option to randomize the order of your pictures. I chose to resize the photos to match the display resolution of the frame (800X480). This dropped the size from 2+ mb per picture to around 50 kb per picture, and they are virtually indistinguishable from a regular viewing distance. At the moment, there are 500+ pictures in the internal memory, with more than half of the room left...

You know me, many of you have that guy in your own families or group of friends. When I decided to buy digital frames for my parents and my wife for this Christmas, I did a lot of research and looked at a lot of digital frames. I read a lot of reviews as well and compared many of the features available. Here's what I liked about the Sony DPF-D810 8-inch SVGA Frame: Simply to use, yet has advanced features that you don't get in this price range Sturdy, well thought-out design (even the remote is sturdy...many have flimsy remotes that are useless) 4:3 format...standard photo size, so it doesn't undesirably crop your precious photos Allows the use of all standard memory cards to include USB thumb drives -great for anyone that might be technically challenged It's not a knock-off brand and was obviously well tested..I didn't have to wonder...
