Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby DP-758 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame
Customer Review: Ratio problems
Summary: 1 Stars
While the Coby (Coby DP-758 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame) is a good deal compared with other frames, it has a terrible photo ratio. A standard photo shows up on the frame with black bars on the side which defeats the purpose of having a 7" frame.
We call Coby technical support and they could not tell us the ratio for the frame. I spent about 8 hours trying to figure out how to resize photos and ended up resizing the photos in Photoshop but this is a very time consuming process.
I'd recommend paying a little more money to have a more streamlined frame. It's not worth the headache to save a few dollars!!
Customer Review: great deal just to return
Summary: 3 Stars
I purchased the dp702 frame for father's day. We fully loaded a Kodak 1gb SD card with about 450 pictures (with 75% capacity), it worked just fine and dandy. But, we wanted to add more pictures and recopied the pics onto an PNY optima 2gb SD card with good success now totalling 500 pics. That way, they could load more of their own pics on too, but when we plugged it in, we had no success. It wouldn't read the card at all. We reloaded the old card in and it no longer read it either. We are taking the frame back to exchange and hopefully, it will work. It looks like it's all about total number of pictures or memory inserted.
Customer Review: Grainy picture quality
Summary: 2 Stars
Diappointing picture quality. The online product overview states 'crisp picture', but I found it very grainy or pixelated (& I used high res digital photos from a new camera). It also had trouble reading 2 different SD cards, but I got it to work with the 3rd one. Manual is vague. Please note there are buttons on the top of frame to deal with the onscreen menu, although it looks like it should be touch screen. The frame is nice looking & has a nice finish. It doesn't look like wood, but it has a nice molded shape. Also has a small power brick. I'm returning the two I bought for gifts (drat).Customer Review: nice frame for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
Got this as a gift for my parents age 75 and 72 who have no computer. They love it! I had to get a memory card for it which added to the total cost but Amazon offered a 1 gb for a very reasonable price and I got free shipping on the item purchased so all in all it was a very reasonably priced digital frame. Larger than most others at this price on the market due to the wide screen. My only complaint is the vertical pictures leave a lot of free frame space but my parents love it and that really is all that matters! Great idea for wedding anniversaries!Customer Review: Works fine, but screen resolution is not as specified.

The product itself is fine. No complaints. The problem I have is that I bought this and a 1Gig memory card as a Christmas present for my parents. I put over 500 pictures of their grandkids on the card from the past 8 years and cropped each one to the dimensions specified on the box. Well it turns out that THEY'RE ALL WRONG! The purpose of cropping them was to avoid the black bars on either side of the screen. Now there are black bars at the top and bottom. Sorry mom and dad, but I'm not cropping 500+ pictures again! How crappy is that!?
