On the 4th of July, I was with my brother who was upgrading his mobile phone. As I was browsing through the store, I decided to check out the digital frames. I found a new one that was created by Sony called the S-Frame brand and instantly fell in love with it. Most digital photo frames have a wooden look to it, but this one was sleek and very sophisticated looking.
I decided not to buy it at the time because I always like to do some research before purchasing any new items. I also like to compare prices online since I can usually find a better deal on the web.
Well after doing some research, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't really be saving any money from purchasing it online. So, I took the plunge and bought it the next day.
Sony created 3 models for the S-Frame brand. They are DPF-V900, DPF-V700, and DPF-D70. The DPF-V900 has a 9" inch screen while the DPF-V700 and DPF-D70 has a 7" screen. Both the DPF-V900 and DPF-V7000 also have a 512 MB of internal memory, also comes with both a bluetooth and HDTV connectivity. Of course, you'll also be paying more because of those other features. The DPF-V900 is approximately $250 while the DPF-V700 is approximately $190. The DPF-D70 does not include bluetooth or HDTV connectivity and it only has 256MB of internal memory. However, the price for this model is only approximately $140.
I chose the Sony DPF-D70 for a variety of reasons. Aside from the lower price, the first reason is that I chose this digital photo frame is because of its screen size. Since I am putting this on my desk, a 7" screen is more than sufficient. I also don't need bluetooth connectivity since it is going to be sitting right next to my laptop. I just use a mini B-Type USB cable to sync it to my laptop. I don't know about the other two models but this one does not include a mini B-Type USB cable. Lastly, I don't see the need for a digital photo frame to have HDTV connections. In fact, I think it's pretty useless.
Sony Digital Photo Frame, AC Adaptor, and Remote Control
I found that the Sony remote control isn't very comfortable to use since the buttons are really hard to press. It's also very small so it could be misplaced easily.
Supported memory cards include Memory Stick media, SD memory card, SDHC memory card, MMC memory card, CompactFlash Card, and xD-picture card.
The menu screen is very easy to navigate. As you can see, you also have the option of turning off the Sony logo in the bottom of the digital frame. Unlike most people, I actually like the Sony logo so I prefer to keep it on.
As you would come to expect from Sony, the pictures are sharp and very bright. It's displayed as a WVGA resolution (800 x 480 pixels) and as a 15:9 aspect-ratio. Also, since the unit is in deep black, the pictures really pop out.

Wow congrats, the only thing that I can say on Sony DPF-V900 9-Inch Digital Photo Frame is so nice to have.
If you have the money, I highly recommend it. Also, I bought this on the Sony website for 139.00. As usual amazon comes out with a deal after I buy it. So if you do buy it, buy it from amazon.
