Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Axion AXN-9702 7-Inch Widescreen LCD Digital Picture Frame with Clock, Calendar and Alarm
Customer Review: I'd recommend it, good value.
Summary: 4 Stars
I picked up a 2GB SD memory card for under $10 and loaded it up with photos to give to my parents. This display will also play music (.mp3 files) at the same time as displaying photos which is a good feature. Easy to use, simply copy photo images to your choice of various portable memory cards (I've used both SD and USB memory sticks) and plug it in. Playing music is just as easy just drag and drop .mp3 files to the memory stick along with the photos and it finds and plays them for you. By default when you power on the unit it only displays photos (no music) but you can navigate the on-screen menus using the buttons on the back of the frame or using the included remote control to select music & photo play.
For the price you can't beat it.
This will also display photos taken in 16x9 widescreen format although my camera doesn't have this feature it still displays standard photos just fine. I would recommend it to others. I give it 4 out of 5 because the resolution of the screen could be higher.
Customer Review: Challenge for those with time to kill
Summary: 2 Stars
Cryptic, instructions written & translated by a middle school English student in China. Hard to tell if important functions were overlooked in design/manufacture or translation. Since the remote (which lacked instructions) did not work, all set up had to be done with the rear panel buttons. It still doesn't recognize pictures stored on SD or memory stick. It did recognize and use files on a USB flash drive. It plays them in the same sequence, with no control over presentation or order.
After spending two evenings and half a Saturday getting images to load and play, I have made no attempt for audio files. With only a 1" speaker I suspect anything more than MIDI files would be very disappointing to irritating played repeatedly in the same sequence.
But it's the holidays, so I'll generously give it 2 stars. If further discounted, it will be a cheap stocking stuffer that will keep young ones challenged and engaged for many hours to get functional.
Customer Review: Great product at a good price
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the frame with a 1GB SD flash card. Then, it took me 5 minutes to resize 300+ picture into 640 X 480 resolution using the "edit Picture" function in MSFT's picture management tool (following a previous reviewer's excellent input). Remember to create a separate folder and copy pictures into that folder for resize, as picture management tool tends to overwrite the original jpg files with the resized / updated ones.
I loaded some mp3 files and the frame works flawlessly. The only gripe I have is that there are side bars not used on the frame. Probably, it can be resolved by pre-zooming pictures through the picture tool. Remote has "Zoom" function. But when you turn on zoom function, the slideshow ends.
Overall, considering what I got and what I paid, I give it a 5 stars. You can't beat 59 dollars while a Sony 9" frame goes for 240 dollars as comparison
Customer Review: Very good considering the price

This is a decent product that does what it says it will do. It is not elaborate and doesn't have advanced features, but it can play music while viewing the slide show, and has a clock display. I was disapointed to find there was no "random" function, so I took away a star for that. When you turn it off, it goes back to slide one when you turn it back on again. Since I installed 600+ photos on a memory card for my mother, she rarely gets to see the photos at the end of the list. I will have to weed down the selection to a more reasonable 100 or 200. It's a nice looking simple plastic frame, and the remote works well (although I suspect the little watch battery won't last long). The resolution is intended to be viewed at arms length, not scrutinized up close. With this in mind, the resolution is fine.Customer Review: Crap shoot in buying this product!

Had this product for two months before it started to behave intermittently. The slide show would sometimes freeze and trouble with it in powering on. After a year there were horizantal lines on it. This sat in a safe corner of the room so there was not any mishandling of the device. Kept the pics down to the products resolution and kept the pics to less than a count of 50 in one folder to ensure better functionality from the device. After reading many reviews the product either works or it doesn't work. And if it does work it's a matter of time it will not work. Most users in the reviews seem to be pretty much in the know of what they are doing and I trust their opinions on the CONS of this device. I'd strongly recommend taking the time and purchase one at WalMart.
