Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Coby DP772 7-Inch Widescreen Digital Photo Frame with MP3 Player
Customer Review: Malfunctioning Product
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently purchased three of the Coby digital picture frames. I had intended two to be Christmas presents and to keep one for my self. However, after spending a few hours scanning photos and resizing them per manufacturer's specification, I kept receiving an error for the USB driver when I tried to plug the frame into my computer for download. I phoned tech support, searched the web and even called some tech savvy friends and no one could help me. Eventually I gave up and opened a second one which I could download into immediately. The problem was half of my pictures were grayed out in chunks. I sent all three of the frames back. Very un-user friendly and I would not recommend it to any one.Customer Review: good product - basic features
Summary: 4 Stars
Purchased this as a Mothers day gift, and so far it's been great. She loved it and brings it to family events to show off pictures.
Pros: decent size, screen is plenty bright, and frame doesn't look too cheap. Cool how you can play music and pictures together. I haven't tried out video. Overall I'm satisfied.
Cons: It is a little fritzy when it comes to adding images to an SD card when using the USB plug. Sometimes the card wouldn't show up, the pictures wouldn't copy, or they'd come accross distorted. Restarting the frame several times often worked, but it was annoying. Luckily my Mom has an SD card reader on her computer so she just puts images on it that way.
Customer Review: Cannot Connect to Computer
Summary: 2 Stars
As another person mentioned, my 5.6" Digital Frame cannot connect to my computer. It takes multiple tries for it to even read the frame (my computer USB ports are 2.0) and when I do finally get my "F:" drive up and going, it says I cannot copy anything to the drive--I'm taking it back for sure. I know it reads a memory card and I can upload pictures via USB Drive, but the frame itself cannot connect to use the internal memory, which is all I really wanted to do. Good frame, but this is the second (another person in my family was having problems with hers) picture frame that is having problems. Technology is bound to fail, but there shouldn't be this type of problem right off the bat.Customer Review: Does not work properly
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this for my wife for Christmas after reading reviews on a few different frames. She set it up but could not get any pictures to come out clear. Followed the instructions in Chukchiboy's review with no luck. Tried pictures that didnt need to be resized and other programs to resize image and file size. Pictures were still pixelated and blurry even at a 3 foot distance. Tried to access frame from my PC with no luck yet. Have not tried the other features as this was for pictures for her desk at work.
Went to Cobys website but could not any real info on this frame. Could not get any real support from them either. Will buy a frame that I can see an example of in person next time.
Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this because of its low price and have nothing but regret ever since. First, there's nowhere stated about its resolution on the product information - it turns out to be 480x234 which means everything is going to be pixelated regardless you crop or resize your pictures. Video function is also not working, may be because of the higher resolution of the videos and it can't buffer. I'm still searching for much better digital frame at this point, it looks like I have learnt my lesson for being cheap. But for sure, you need 640x480 resolution and above for 7" digital frame and unless you have a keychain digital frame (in which 240x120 will be more than enough).
