Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Vialta VistaFrame Digital Picture Frame (Grey)
Customer Review: Great Graphics + Auto Shut-Off Firmware Fix
Summary: 5 Stars
Great Product!There's now a firmware fix for the auto shut-off.
My unit has a line on the setup screen to immobilise this feature.
Good to hear a manufacturer responding to customer feedback - thanks Vialta!
I think earlier units can be upgraded too - need to contact Vialta for that.
I use Vistaframe at home for the family pictures, and also for business presentations. Easy to set up and I can run Powerpoint presentations when the slides are saved as jpeg pictures.
Also use it in office reception window to promote our company services.
Great graphics & really wide viewing area.
Previous reviewer had display problems, but mine are great.
5 Stars from me.Recommended.
Customer Review: Highly recommend! Great gift idea.
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Vista Frame so much, I've just ordered 3 more for family gifts. All the original problems listed in the reviews have been fixed by the manufacturer. If the frame goes into sleep mode (overnight when no motion is sensed), it wakes up and goes right back into slideshow mode without having to restart with the menu buttons. The color is great and the photos are viewable from all angles. I haven't experienced any flickering problems.
My digital camera allows me to upload photos from my pc hardrive onto the compact flash card so I was able to create cards with different groups of pictures for different family members.
This digital frame would make an excellent gift!
Customer Review: Fixing the auto turnoff (power saver)
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree the auto turnoff is a real annoyance. Especially since you have to scroll around and reselect your photo directory and hit the play button if the unit has been off for two or more hours. This power saver feature can be easily bypassed by placing a white sheet of paper about 1/8" in front of the motion sensor windows. I slip a sliver of paper about 1/4" x 1" into the motion sensor windows tucking the ends behind the metal. Then I pull it out in the middle about an 1/8" so it arches over the sensor windows and can reflect back from one window to the other. It take a little trial and error but the unit will display indefinitely this way.Customer Review: Works so far...
Summary: 4 Stars
Mine must have had the fix already in place for disabling the power saving feature. I bought this for my wife for mother's day and so far... it works... I like the fact you can rotate the image if it was in landscape mode. It does sort of "zoom out" and thus the only real way to do it so it looks good is to use some photo editing software.One thing I have noticed is that the pics of sometimes have a "flicker" depending on if their are lines in the image (like power lines in the backgrond). Also some colors flicker like crazy like the green leaves in images of Yosemite. This is really minor.
Customer Review: Poor picture quality
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very excited to see this frame, and thought that would be a perfect gift for a fellow geek. I was extremely disappointed to see poor the picture quality - it looked like the photos were taken using one of the first generation digital cameras that came on the market some 10 years ago. The resolution was similar to my first palm pilot (IIIx), just enlarged.
I sent it back after trying to get it to display pictures where you could actually see peoples faces. I believe that the pictures of this device showing colorful and detailed images were doctored or transposed to make this product look better.
