Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby DP-102 10-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame with Built-In MP3 Player
Customer Review: Performs as expected - No surprises!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am totally satisfied with this purchase. The photos are crips and clean and it was easy to get it to work. The 10" size is very nice and anything less would have not met my needs. We have the frame on a shelf in the corner of the living room for all to see.
I loaded pictures from my pc onto a USB (Thumb) drive and plugged it into the frame and it started working. This was a gift for my wife who is technically challenged and SHE got the frame to work (all I did was load the pics). We do use the remote control which is nice.
She has not tried any of the other features so I can't comment on them. My expectations were minimal and I have been more than satisfied.
In a review I had read, someone had mentioned that the stand was of poor quality. This was one of my concerns in purchasing this product. The stand is adequate for this application although it is not a "rugged" stand so you can't be abusing it *smile*
Customer Review: IF YOU HAVE A MAC DON'T BUY THIS!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for my parents and parents-in-law, to send them pix of their granddaughter. When I went to sync photos onto it with my Mac Powerbook G4, however, over half of the photos inexplicably failed to copy. I spent over two hours trying different solutions: renaming files, switching to tiffs, compressing photos to various sizes, I even tried a different SD card--no effect. Finally, I found that copying each file individually, and trying over and over even when it failed, would eventually work. But considering it took three or four attempts PER FILE, this was profoundly tedious--and even though the pix worked, on the Coby display itself, half of the images were marked as INVALID. I don't know if this is a problem with all digital photo frames but I tried this on two Cobys (I bought one for each set of grandparents) and I had the exact same problem. I also tried to sync with my wife's (new) Macbook Pro and had no better luck.Customer Review: Everything I needed and expected

Thankfully I was just looking for a digital picture frame (no need for video or music) since the video feature does not work for me.
For pictures, I'm thrilled. Quality is better than I expected since I feared resizing all my images to 480x860 would result in poor quality. It's plenty good enough for the price.
I used ACDSee to batch process several hundred images. First I cropped to widescreen format, then resized to 480x860. I used an SD card for the photos.
I few images suffered from the cropping (lost the top of peoples heads), but for the most part cropping didn't hurt too much. For those that were impacted, I just manually moved the crop to avoid cutting out content. I think I rather have a standard format frame though since that matches my camera.
Overall, if you get a defect free unit, and don't expect to use the video feature, you should be happy with it.
Customer Review: Excellent photo frame!!!

I got this to replace a pan digital my ex took with her, and I am happy that I choose the Coby. I actually bought a westinghouse, and the resolution and picture was top notch on their 7 inch, but the price was way more than this one, and no music. As soon as I found this, I bought it and returned the westinghouse, and never looked back. Coby tends to be looked down upon in electronics as a "generic" or backroom brand. This is as good of quality as any phillips, kodac, pandigital, GPX out there. Don't look to far and wide for a frame that does it all, cause this can. Good resolution for it's size (not the highest on the market 800x600) in a 10 inch screen,very adequate mp3 capabilities (good sound and volume). Only flaw is it does not take HD-SD, but it will take a flash reader hooked into USB that takes HD-SD, so my camera memory is happy with that. Highly recommended.Customer Review: Great for the price...

I just received it and it works perfectly out of the box.
I bought this photo frame as a present for my 77 years old mother and she doesn't have high quality feature expectations I will just put the old scanned family pictures on a memory card and run the slide show.
She doesn't need the mp3 and video playing capability but - instead of these features - the ON/OFF timer would be nice.
It will be too bright in the bed room at night but a power outlet timer will solve this problem because after "Power Off" it resumes to the slide show.
One more thing:
It is the 10 inch widescreen version so you have to crop your pictures if you want the picture to fill the full screen but for me it is not a problem I prefer wide screen over 4:3.
My conclusion:
It is a great product for the price.
