5 out of 5 stars Great Product.......2007-12-28

This product works great, has a very good picture and has alot of options to set up a slideshow. If you are looking for a digital picture viewer this is a great product.

4 out of 5 stars This frame got me out of the digital doghouse!.......2007-12-28

Okay, my day has finally come. My wife loves this photo frame. She now has the answer to her long standing question, "Where are the pictures?" I was in the digital doghouse since I convinced her we should get a digital camera. Since then, it's been misery for the household whenever the subject of pictures comes up. She doesn't want to sit at the computer to see her photos. She doesn't want to have to take the time to print her photos. Nor does she want to spend even more money to have her photos arrive all printed in an envelope in the mail. She misses her good old photo albums that she could bring to Mother's and show off the kids.

Well, the Philips 9FF was the answer. She loves it. Now she's got her photos right where she can see them. When and where she wants them. I couldn't be happier. It was worth every penny.

I chose the Philips frame because reviews suggested it had better than average display quality and fairly intuitive software. I would say that is true. The image quality is very good; it certainly satisfies my wife. The software is sometimes confusing (if you try to copy a photo to the frame and nothing happens, the frame memory is full. There is no indication of this fact from the software.) This is why I give an overall rating of 4 stars.

I'm a software engineer by profession and I think the software is fairly intuitive. My wife struggles with it a bit - she's no geek like me - but she was starting to get the idea of how to navigate the menus to configure various options like transition effects and how to switch between Slideshow and Browse modes. It's not always intuitive which button to hit to get what you want. I found my finger would find the power button instead of the lower function button.

I figured out how to copy photos from external flash memory card to the frame memory pretty quickly. I don't think my wife would have the patience for this or editing (cropping/rotating) photos to look good on the frame. I plan to take the responsibility for that; with pleasure.

I didn't even bother with the USB cable to connect to a PC. I just bought an extra flash memory card and use that to move photos from computer to frame or directly from camera to frame. You don't have to move the photos off the flash card unless you want to edit them.

Overall, the Philips 9FF2CMI Digital Photo Frame exceeded all my expectations. I love what it's done for our household. No more digital doghouse. Yahoo!

5 out of 5 stars Hesitated to Buy It - Now I want 3 more!!!.......2007-12-26

I purchased this product for a family member and they absolutely loved it. I hesitated at first because of the price but when they opened it and when we saw the quality, I have wanted 3 more since!! AMAZING JOB

5 out of 5 stars Picture quality is great, software is not.......2007-12-24

Very happy with the picture resolution. Even our old, scanned photos look really good. In fact, we like it so much, we purchased the 7" version as a gift for another relative.

I do have to say the software aspect of this product is not good. It definitely is not intuitive and there are no detailed directions on how to transfer pictures from various formats. This particular model held approximately 60 pictures of varying resolutions (half were 5 megapixel, half were old scanned photos). We needed more memory so we purchased a 1GB memory card. We found we had to transfer the photos on our PC to the camera which contained the new memory card. We thought we could do this via Windows Media Player but it wouldn't recognize the camera as an external source. Therefore, we had to use the Canon camera software to do the transfer. Problem is the scanned photos had to have their resolutions changed before the software would allow uploading from the PC to the memory card in the camera. This was a very convoluted way to load a memory card.

I would highly recommend this product if you only need enough space for 50 pictures. That way, you can load them directly from your PC to the photo frame although that's not even intuitive. You have to create a new folder within the photo frame program, then copy and paste pictures instead of click and drag. Once you get this all figured out it's not bad. I would not give this product to an older person who has to figure out how to set it up. We're giving it as a gift to an older person but since we did all the setting up, it should be fine.

3 out of 5 stars Wonderful hardware, terrible software.......2007-12-18

The Philips 9FF2M4 Photo Frame that is the object of this review (and I presume most of the 162 other reviews posted here) is a simply gorgeous hunk of hardware. Its sleek but hefty chrome and acrylic construction and its packaging almost make you think it was made by Apple. And once (if?) you get pictures loaded into the darn thing, it performs equally well (at least mine has... so far -- but read other reviews for more caveats).

That's the good news. Nearly all the rest is bad, or at least frustrating. Indeed, I finally found the clues I needed to get started overcoming Philips' astonishingly bad software by Googling "Philips Photo Frame" + "FRUSTRATION." Philips' poorly written documentation tells you to load photos from your computer using its Photo Manager software. Wrong. That may load a few photos, sometimes, but if your system is like mine (Windows XP with all the security and other patches installed) the process will either fail immediately or stall after loading a few. And once you discover how to work around that bug, your work has just begun.

If you accept the challenge of making it work despite all the obstacles Philips throws in your path, however, you'll find that part of the consumer experience with the Frame is actually kind of fun -- in between my curses and tantrums were any number of moments of wild exhilaration when I found that yet another work-around had overcome the lastest impasse. But if you can't spend the two days consumed by my effort to get the Frame working in time to be a Christmas gift, and you still want to buy the thing, the following notes that I made during my ordeal may be helpful.

Oh, one more caveat: from reading reviews of lots of other digital picture frames it seems clear that Philips has no monopoly on bugginess and frustration. And the most important factor in determining which one to take a chance on buying would appear to be confidence that you can return it when it doesn't work right!

How to make the Philips 9FF2M4 Photo Frame work:

1. Do NOT use it's Photo Manager software to load photos! It may load a few, or it may not. Work-arounds for this and most of Frame's various bugs:

2. Use Windows Explorer to copy the JPG files from your PC to the root directory of the Photo Frame ("Removable Disk I:" or whatever the lowest drive letter of the several ones belonging to the Frame that Windows will see plugged into the computer).

3. When loading has been completed disconnect Frame USB cable from computer. Frame will then say it is "uploading" the images you loaded into its root directory, counting as it goes along, resizing them when necessary, and automatically moving them to the default Photo Frame album.

4. Use Frame's firmware to move photos from the default album to another album on a memory card.

5. Use Frame's firmware to set up the Photo Slideshow options, rename or create new albums, etc. It works OK.

6. If a photo gives the Frame indigestion and it freezes when you hit [Photos][Photo Frame][Default album] and try to "navigate to the right to view your album thumbnail photos" here is what to do:
a. Stick a toothpick in the tiny reset hole (next to Power button). Frame will go black and then reboot itself.
b. Connect frame to computer, fire up Philips Photo Manager software (this much of it will work flawlessly), and delete the offending photo(s) from the Frame's Default album.
c. Load offending photo(s) into PhotoShop, [Save for web & devices...], uncheck the "Optimized" box, and [Save] as JPEG.
d. Now you can upload the "webbed" versions of the files that that froze the Frame into the root directory again and Frame will behave properly this time.

7. When you get through loading photos, even though you did everything right and all the photos seemed to load OK, some may show up as blanks when you view them in magnified form in the thumbnail window. They won't show up in a slideshow either. Not to worry; delete them and reload them into the root directory again. Chances are the second time will be the charm. If not, try "webbing" them (6.c above).

8. To get photos in the sequence you want them, create one or two work albums and shuffle photos from one to another using Frame's firmware "copy to" or "move to" functions.

5 out of 5 stars Nice camera!.......2007-12-28

Love this camera, it replaced a Sony Cybershot and it's completely lived up to my expectations. I'm certainly nothing more than a casual user, typically I use it for real estate photos so the wide-angle and image stabilization have been handy. I imagine they'd be helpful to just about anyone who's the same as I am ... someone who doesn't need lots of bells and whistles. I've been very happy with it.

5 out of 5 stars What could be better?.......2007-12-28

First, my apologies to the extreme photo enthusiasts out there who typically write these reviews. They speak of chromatic aberration, barrel distortion, noise at high ISO settings, the need for a view finder, and the like. I am not one of you. You are great and I love to read that stuff, but I needed a camera that had a big, clear display, was simple to operate, and takes great snapshots at family gatherings and on vacations.

If you are like me, then get this camera. It has a big, clear display, it is simple to operate, and it takes great snapshots at family gatherings and on vacations.

My wife and I were dazzled by the display. It is beautiful, even in bright sunshine. That is probably my biggest complaint with the reviews I read on this camera, that the LCD is not good in bright sunshine. Those reviewers are wrong. Even with my poor eyesight I have no trouble framing my shot and then viewing the resulting photo in any lighting conditions except the darkest of rooms, where even a view finder would have problems.

This camera has a LOT of options, but the options that I use the most are right there and as simple to find as any digital camera I looked at, and I looked at a lot of cameras. The options I need the most are:

1. On-Off. Sounds stupid, but on some cameras, this is not that easy.
2. Shutter button. Big and easy to find by touch.
3. Zoom. The toggle for this is small, but it is a small camera. On all small cameras the zoom buttons are small. I like the toggle right up there by the shutter button. You can easily move your finger from the shutter button to the zoom and back without looking.
4. Flash on-off. Done with the little round rocker on the back. The little round rocker on the back is small and the icons on it are hard to see for older people, like myself. However, this is a problem for all small cameras. It's just a tradeoff you make when you get a small camera. It has to be small to fit on the small camera. Once you find it though, it is easy to remember, plus when you touch this rocker, a larger representation of it appears on the screen. This will help you find the flash on-off function.
5. Timer. It is on the little round rocker also.
6. Reviewing the photos that you already took. This function is a little bit complicated on every digital camera I have ever seen. On the SD870IS, it is about as simple as any I have seen. It is something you have to practice if you want to be able to do it quickly and seamlessly.
7. Getting the photos off the camera. I have played with the software that comes with the camera and it is OK. No better and no worse than other software I have seen and tried to use. Rather than mess with it and also train my wife on how to use it, we just prefer to do it the way we did it with our old camera. Not real simple (certainly no more difficult than the Canon software), but we have a routine that works for us.

The picture quality is great. Some flash shots are a little over-exposed, but we adjust that with Picasa. Easy to do. Over all, the quality of pictures we get is better than we got with our old digital camera, a Panasonic. It would take some great pictures but it was inexplicably inconsistent. Still, it was a fine camera that took a lot of abuse. Still works but it has a too-small display and we were ready to change after 5 years with it.

One other little bonus...the camera is ready to go within a second or two of turning it on. That is a very nice feature. Some cameras take quite a bit longer. This is not a big deal for patient people, but it is nice.

Are there negatives? So far I have found one little quibble. I agree with other reviews that finding a way to hold this camera is not intuitively obvious. You have to work with it to find a way to hold it without getting a finger in front of the flash, or to hold it with one hand. I think that is the price you pay when you buy a small camera that has almost the whole back taken up by an LCD display. But for me, the huge LCD display was one of the big selling points. And I must say that I was not ready for how beautifully this display works.

I did not review the hundreds of other options with this camera because I probably won't use them much. But the Canon SD870IS fits my requirements very well. If your requirements are like mine, I encourage you to take a good look at it.

5 out of 5 stars Great camera.......2007-12-26

Just wanted to say that this camera has it all. It works out in any situation. If you are looking into purchasing this camera, well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Great Camera!.......2007-12-26

This camera was the talk of our Christmas parties this year, as it is just so easy to use. The large display allowed even our old eyes to see if we needed to retake those important shots. This is a must-have camera for point & shoot folks like us!

Crisp clear pictures, faithful colors. A big improvement over my old Canon S110. I miss the optical viewfinder.

Amazon.com Hands-On Review

The Motorola HS850 is the company's update to their HS810 headset, one of my personal favorites. The changes made to produce the new HS850 are few, but the effect is relatively substantial. But first, let's start with what is the same.

Like the HS810, the HS850 makes use of a body design that employs a folding microphone boom. The folding microphone boom acts as the on and off switch, as well as just providing a convenient way to make the headset smaller and more pocketable when not in use. When a call comes into your phone, you can turn on and answer the phone at the same time just by unfolding the microphone boom. You can end the call and turn it off by removing the headset and re-folding it. Using the headset in this way conserves battery power, since no battery juice is wasted on standby time - time where the headset sits around waiting to be contacted by a mobile phone or other compatible device. The physical design of the HS850 and the battery savings it imparts is my favorite aspect of the Motorola HS850.

Of course you don't have to remove and turn off the headset between calls. If the headset is already on when an inbound call comes, you will hear the ringing come through on the headset and can answer it by pressing on the main multi-function call control button. You can end the call with this same button, and adjust volume levels with the two volume buttons. If you are using a phone that supports the Hands Free Bluetooth profile, then you can also use the call control button to reject an inbound call or redial the last number.

The HS850's audio properties are also like those of the HS810 before it. The audio quality in both directions is very clear and understandable, but sounds a bit thin. You and the party on the other end of the call will both be able to understand each other easily, it just doesn't sound as full and natural as it might with some other headsets. The HS850 makes up for this small lacking by having great resistance to wind noise, though. That makes the headset perfect for people that enjoy driving with their windows down, or those that work outside. Most headsets are very susceptible to wind noise, the HS850 bucks that trend.

And now for the new stuff. First up, a more powerful battery. The HS850 I tested managed an amazing 7 hours and 50 minutes of talk time. That is a full two thirds improvement over the older model. The truly amazing part is that this new battery life didn't come at the expense of added weight. Like the HS810 before it, the HS850 weighs only .7oz (19.9g).

The next major change perhaps sounds more important than it worked out to be in reality. The HS850 supports the newer Bluetooth v1.2 spec, whereas most headsets support v1.1 only. Motorola claims that when used with a v1.2 compatible phone (there are still relatively few available at the time I write this), the HS850 will be able to connect faster, use less battery power, and offer improved audio quality. While I can see what appears to be a slight improvement in connection speed, I haven't really noticed much of a change in battery life or audio quality.

The last major change is purely cosmetic. The new HS850 headset is blue-gray in color, like a darker version of the HS810's color. I find it more attractive than the light silver found on the HS810.

But regardless of the color, you can't go wrong with Motorola's HS850, which I consider to be perhaps the best value on the market.

3 out of 5 stars !.......2007-12-28

my major problem was that the phone couldn't adjust to my ears since they are small. Also, it took too many steps to connect the device to my phone.

I like to tnx to amazon for help alots of people to save lots of money my hs 850 bluetooth is perfect,it was for my wife

5 out of 5 stars I'm very satisfied.......2007-12-23

I've had 4 of these (or their predecessor) over a several year period. I liked my first one so much, i got a second one as a back up in case the battery died (i can't use it while it's charging because the coiled cord pulls it down toward the cigarette lighter/charger thing and it won't stay in my ear because of the pull of the coiled cord). Also, in case i might lose mine, i liked knowing i had a back up because i hate driving while holding the cell phone in my hand. I like the sound quality. I'm able to hear other people and they can hear me.

One of my first two of these died and Motorola sent me a new one, i guess it must've still been in warranty. It just stopped working, dead, wouldn't take a charge. The next two never died, but the little rubber ear seal thing fell off on one of them, after a really long time, a couple of years at least, and then it was harder to hear with it, and i was glad i had two. I still have the other old one that's been working for a long time with no problems but recently, the ear seal thing has partly come loose. It still works fine, but i saw this good price on this one on amazon so i got it to have an back up.

The only things i don't like about these--one, they use that two pronged charger while my phone uses mini USB, and i wish the handsfree charger uses mini USB too, so i'd only have one charger instead of needing two different ones, and the other thing is, i find the pairing maneuver harder than i would like, the way you have to hold it closed while pushing the button, and then quickly open it when it starts flashing while still holding the button down, it's awkward and too hard for me to remember easily so i sometimes have to use the user manual or call support because it stays connected with my phone so well, i dont have to use this maneuver very often and i forget how to do it.

but overall, for me, this handsfree has good quality sound and stays connected. Very reliable. Pretty comfortable. It's worked well with three or four phone models i've had. I've tried numerous wired hands frees in order to have something as a back up when the wireless one's battery dies during use, and the sound is always much poorer on those, not so much hearing my caller, but them hearing me, i get complaints on the wired ones i try. I never get complaints with the HS 850.

4 out of 5 stars Motorola HS850 Headset.......2007-12-21

Love the headset. Then only thing is that is not that comfortable when using it.. It has excellent reception and the clarity is outstanding. Must buy..

4 out of 5 stars Delivered what I expected.......2007-12-19

I have owned other bluetooth headsets but this one has delivered the best transmission quailty. I can be heard with limited background noise and I can hear the callers clearly. For the price, you just can't beat it.

5 out of 5 stars Full of features and tons of fun!.......2007-12-26

I enjoy photos of birds and wildlife, so better optical zoom makes it easier to get the image I want without scaring the critters away. I still have to work on being fast enough to get quality photos of birds in flight, but the sports mode helps with moving critters, people on bikes, etc. I've also taken exceptional night photos of Christmas lights with only a monopod.

The camera has difficulty detecting faces if the people aren't caucasian, so face detection of black people isn't reliable. I'm disappointed in this oversight but with other subjects I love the clear photos and the prints have met my expectations up to 11x14.

The Sony rechargeable battery lasts longer than I anticipated. I have not yet had the battery die during any event. I always take a spare battery with me, but I haven't yet used it for a single event, even for several hours.

The macro and flash buttons are in different places than on my DSC W7, but with more time and practice, I can learn. With the quality automatic modes I can still operate the camera without too much difficulty while wearing gloves. This may be more difficult for those with large hands - mine are slender.

With all the features packed into this camera, I hate to leave home without it because it's ready to go in mere seconds and multiple images of a subject is easy with little delay. I recommend buying at least a 2G Memory Stick Pro Duo. Also, wear comfortable shoes when out for a walk with this camera. Time flies, but your feet will suffer. I look forward to spring when my flowers are in bloom and the butterflies and bees visit.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome in the jungle!.......2007-12-24

I bought this camera specifically to capture (photographically!) monkeys, macaws, and toucans during a vacation in Costa Rica. With the 15x zoom and SteadyCam, it performed beyond my expectations. A definite "two thumbs up" as a high end digital!

1 out of 5 stars Never buy from this seller again!.......2007-12-18

I actually bought the camera with a 2GB kit from Butterfly Photo. I don't have anything to say about the camera but a lot about the seller . First, the shipping came with two items missing, the memory card reader, and the cleaning kit. We call them to inform them about that, they tried to persuade us telling us that it was Amazon fault, but since we didn't give up, they finally shipped the missing items. Soon to realize that the memory card reader they sent us does not fit at all with the memory card of the camera!!!! I am still trying to talk to someone that can take any responsibility on that. Moreover, the memory card is defective, giving error messages here and there. When we started looking for some info about it, we found out that the memory card was actually fake!!!!! In Amazon there is a guide that explains you how to tell real memory cards from fake ones. I would suggest that you read that first before trusting any buyer. The real ones are supposed to come with the memory card adapter (this one didn't) and the package is totally different (We went to Best Buy to confirm these). Moreover, the tripod they sell in the package is very low quality. I am now wondering if the camera actually does not have some defects also...
I would suggest to get this camera from another seller

2 out of 5 stars SONY: usually good, but NOT this time........2007-12-17

Seriously pay attention to the critiques from others who have rated this camera as poor. Check also the internet, there is an outstanding review by a man who has not reviewed cameras in 40 years, but had to write about his H9s. I bought mine through a large electronics-store's auction site, (should have been suspicious, about so many available). It was not full price, but frankly should have been even cheaper, (100 bucks tops.)
The short of it is this: H9 has some very cool features, and seems to do a very nice job with close-up nature pix. BUT, overall the picture quality is poor for an "8mp" camera, and worse than cameras with fewer MPs. (I have read too that it actually uses a 5mp sensor.) The important thing to note is that I also own an Olympus Camedia D-595 ,(5mp),which takes better pix overall, (clearer, crisper detail). The H9 really fails in low lighting conditions, and has an unacceptable loss of detail with medium, to long shots, (gets blotchy, like an oil-painting, particularly in the dark areas). This was my first Sony camera, and based on its performance, I cannot forsee ever buying another Sony camera. (Love their TVs, VERY disappointed with the H9.) I do not understand why a company like Sony, with a good name, associated with quality, would allow a poor product like the H9 to represent them.

2 out of 5 stars DVD Player freezes.......2007-12-28

I bought this unit for my wife this Christmas. It looks nice and everything works great except for the DVD player. It takes about 2 minutes for a DVD to load to the main menu, then another minute or 2 to actually start playing the DVD. Sometimes, it just freezes and all menu buttons become unresponsive. This requires the unit to be powered off and the process starts over again. Maybe I got a lemon, but this unit is no longer in stock, so I can't swap it out. Bottom line, it looks and works nice if you don't us the DVD.

5 out of 5 stars OH! I LOVE my new television!!.......2007-12-22

I didn't hear my husband growl when he put it up and it works beautifully! I LOVE it in my kitchen! It swivels all around to access every area of the room and the sound quality and picture is really great. My only complain about the TV is the channel doesn't change very quickly, but hey ... I'm retired ... I have a few extra seconds to spare in this fast world we live in. Also, unlike the little TV (same manufacturer) I purchased for my mother-in-law ... two years ago Christmas, mine fills the entire screen and I LOVE IT!!
