I bought this product to build my own digital picture frame. Works great but I can only get the photo album to read and display 512 pictures from the card. I am using a 1GB card that contains about 650 .jpg files on it. When the photo album boots up, it initializes on picture "1 of 512". I have corresponded with Sandisk about this problem and all recommendations from them (updated firmware, etc.) have not solved the problem. If anyone else has had this problem, please let me know.
If you want to limit your photo viewing to 512 pictures, this is a great product. |

This Sandisk product is fantastic. Really easy to install, fool proof to use and it just works beautiful. If you like to gather with your family and friends to look at your conventional photo album, sometimes you can hardly see the pics... this way is so good that everyone can take a look a t the same image at the same time (depending on the size of your screen) and everybody can comment about it and have great time.
You'll love it. Works with any memory card out on the market and it can be used with PAL or NTSC format types, so no worries taking it to Europe or anywhere in the world. |

I actually go the viewer to do two things -- see my new grandson's photos on the 42 inch TV and as a device to integrate all my files on some dated or small flash memory (old CD cards, some small usb sticks, etc). The viewer's ability to mix the display of photos has been a real torture for my friends, since they have to sit through hundreds of photos of my grandson, but since I get most of the photos over the web, I can easily connect the viewer to my computer, download the photos to my 8 gig usb stick and build a photo collection without equal in either quality or convenience hat plays easily on my TV. Now I can't wait for Sandisk's new gadget to download video and show it on my TV, so I can show off my youngest son's UTube videos as well as download some movies that don't get much US TV time (I got the world TV software and it includes movies shown in Australia and other countries that never get play in the US. Now my wife and I should be able to watch them togeher, raher than trying to watch on my computer screen).
What I don't get is tha Sandisk has some really great hardware but has simply failed to build consumer awareness. That is something Jobs has done incredibly well. He's taken some pretty ordinary hardware (like his useless iTV thing) and branded it so that the average consumer really thinks there is some difference between his NAND chips, operating system and smart phone and those of other companies. He's the Barnum of the gadget age. |

| Great way to view your digital photos in a large format. I have mine running in slide show with music at all times. All I need to do to have slide show/music is hit the aux input button on the TV remote. I only found two negative things with the SanDisk photo viewer.(1) you will need a CF memory card if you want slide shows with music (2) it will not read CF microdrive. |

| Item works good, but the resolution quality is lacking. We get the same quality pictures from a low resolution picture as a high resolution picture. SanDisk's only recommendation was to check the TV setting, which are good. |

This item could use much improvement but really has no competition to compare it to except the much pricier Roku products. Images are clean and clear but unit is quirky and difficult to operate. It is worth what they charge for it but I would pay double or triple for a better unit. I would not pay what ROKU asks for theirs.

This unit is an excellent alternative to (in my opinion) overpriced digital frames.
Read the instructions, follow the instructions, enjoy your pictures.
I shot some photos on my Sony 8 megapixal camera in highest quality mode. I downloaded them to my computer and then downloaded them onto a USB flash drive.
The picture quality on my 62" 1080 TV was drop dead stunning. I zoomed in to maximum and could have counted the whiskers around my dog's mouth.
I purchased 7 of these units (6 will go out as I expect very well received christmas gifts).
I shopped around and bought a dozen USB flash drives to send pictures on. The total cost of this unit with 2 - 512MB drives each was less than $50.
Compare that to the cost of a small (6-7"), low resolution (480X232), never heard of brand, of at best unknown quality, digital frame. Read the reviews and specs of the cheap digital frames. The only brand name frame of acceptable quality to me was the Philips at $120 for a 6.5" frame. That is a tiny picture for the 70-80 somethingish relatives I'm sending this to.
The razor sharp image I'm looking at while I type this is 30.5" X 40.5" with a 51" diagonal.
To me it's a no-brainer. Hope this review was helpful. |

| If you want to display a picture on your TV set this is the product that does it. The remote control makes it convenient to select among pictures and picture sets. But to set up the initial files is not an easy job. A variety of memory chips are accepted but must be preloaded on a computer first. The SanDisk Photo Viewer has not graduated from the MSDOS era and accepts only DOS names of 8 characters. Any shorter names are expanded with the wiggle and some numbers and any longer names are rejected. But use a dash in any of the names in the set, nothing will work anymore. If you liked MSDOS you will like this product otherwise find somebody who does. |

| I purchased this item to be able to show on our TV digital photos from a trip to Italy. Based on the reviews I read I followed the instructions carefully and was very pleased to have it work right out of the box. The only glitch was, I had to realize that it can't access a memory stick that is password protected. Once I ralized what the problem was, every thing worked fine. |
