Limitation on the number of photos viewable? Has anybody else found that this dig photo frame will only display a certain number of photos off a memory card? One of the reviews says it only displayed 280 photos. I don't want to buy it if that's the case; any insight would be helpful. Limitation on the number of photos viewable?

Jan - Thanks for all the helpful information. I have this frame (after returning one that had color problems and didn't work to view pix on another monitor) and have the exact same feelings you've expressed ... nice picture and overall look, frustration with picture limit. In your recent update to your review you mentioned that by adding pix to various folders you can get around the photo limit. I've found that the pix are displayed in alphabetical order across all folders. Is there a setting you found someplace or can you provide more details about how you made this work? Thanks again for your help! Jan - Thanks for all the helpful information.

Another update: I heard back from the company again and they said that the firmware upgrade should be coming at the end of this month or the beginning of next, but it's only going to increase the number to about 500. They apologized profusely and were very nice about it, but unfortunately, that's what you'll be stuck with. If you don't mind only having 500 pictures or having separate cards that you switch every once in a while, this is a great frame that views beautifully. I, sadly, will be returning mine and finding one that doesn't have that limitation.

I have found that to be the case (I submitted the review) and submitted a support case. Tech support said that this is a known problem and they are expecting a firmware update "soon". I am trying to get clarification of what "soon" means and, once it's updated, if that means it will be unlimited or if that's just going to up the 280 to another limit. I'll post again when I hear back. Jan

I believe you will need to "format" the memory card, or try purchasing a new memory card to try to use. You know how to erase images, so erase ALL images both on the memory card and on the internal memory which can hold 5-10 pictures. Try a new memory card (or borrow one from another unit or application) and attempt to use it. I've had memory cards fail and need replacing. Good luck.

Hi Itaya, thanks for your response. I've always known that this program can do much more than I've ever asked for ;-). I don't work with different layers, and the marvellous 9999pixels are just theoretical, as you can set this number before the final storage.I have tested it with just 1200pixels and ended up with 23,4MB. While storing this enormous image I noticed, that you CAN choose between several formates i.e. jpg., bmp., png. and tiff. I've never needed them before, but now the both of us know better ... Let's enjoy the exploration of this program which turns out to be a real horn of plenty! Hi Itaya, thanks for your response.

That's a good question man. I haven't purchased a memory card yet for the reason you just asked. Im pretty certain I'm nearing my limit though.

The photo frame does not have any user-accessible memory so you will need some kind of memory card in order to view any photos on it. According to the Amazon description, this frame accepts SD/MMC/SDHC cards. The amount of photos you can have on it at any time will be limited by the size of the card you use.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.If you want to know how many pictures you can take, that depends on how big of a memory card you are using and has nothing do with the camera. If you are wanting to know about battery life, the d3 battery can last for up to 4,300 pictures between charges. If you are wanting to know about the number of pictures already taken (shutter count) of the camera being sold, you should contact the seller directly instead of posting it here because it will be different for each camera. However, DO NOT buy this camera from Wall Street Photo. They are asking for 5 times what the camera is worth!

This depends on the size of the memory card you use, and the size of the pictures. Our camera, using a 2 G card, and taking the largest pics, will hold 125 pics. The camera has a lot of memory in addition to the card, allowing more pics if you need them. Hope this helps.

Please disregard my previous "lazy answer". I checked my camera again and here what it displays in the upper right corner:In all high speed modes from 1000 to 120 fps --- around 13 min.Standard mode 640x480, 30 fps --- 2 hours and 13 min.HD mode 1920x1080, 30 fps --- 36 min.The displayed numbers did not change even if I put different size SD cards in.Only the number of still photos changes.I guess the file size the camera can handle is limited, after all.

There is some limited internal memory (for things like stock photos supplied by the manufacturer); however, I was unable to find any info on how to, or whether it is even possible to, transfer any of one's personal pictures to this internal memory. I just assumed it's not possible after reading the instructions. The viewer accepts SD cards or USB-type memory sticks. You plug them in and view the pictures on the memory devices only while they are plugged in. It does not seem possible to transfer pictures from these memory devices to the internal memory. - John

It has a random function in the setup preferences, but since I only got the frame this evening, I'm not sure how "random" is "random". I've had four digital picture frames in the past, and the "random" was the same every day. In the past, other digital picture frames might play picture 10, 70, 100, 220, and 62. The next day, when I turned on the picture frame, it would randomly play picture 10, 70, 100, 220, and 62. It was random - but it was the same random every day. P.S. I've tested it several times, and each time it starts up, it displays the same FIRST picture, but then all subsequent pictures truly are random. So I'd say the random function truly is random.

In a nutshell no, my two frames had many problems and one was the frame would mess up about 5 pics of 75 and display them sideways.I strongly suggest buying any other frame as their customer service was non existent.

Yah that's correct. This varies quite a bit though. If you only have 5 photos to load it's a lot faster than if you have 50 photos. I wouldn't consider this device lightning fast by any means but it does allow you to access the card without having to plug it into a computer which is handy in it's own right.

It depends on the size of the photos you will be posting. For example if your photos are 5 MB in size each, that would give you 20 per 100 MB of storage space and that times 100 = 10 GB = 2,000 photos. Adjust for the actual size in MB for the photos you are posting. Of course you could reduce the size of each photo to say 100 KB each from a photo editor in Windows since they are not going to be printed and that size would be very sufficient for display on the Nixplay which would then up your count to 100,000 photos you could store.

I recently purchased this frame. It does not have internal memory. The memory card (or cards) need to be inserted in order to bring up pictures. The value in this feature is you can have multiple cards with selected images, so that each card can be individually themed. I have seperate cards for seperate friend groups that I will insert and then 1 master card that has them all on them.

All images are displayed in the order that you load them onto the memory card. So if the portrait is vertical then when it is saved it will be the same. No, it only displays the memory card it has inserted. It will not change to random showing or anything like that. It is a very simple unit. The display is very good. I had another before this one and it would only do random, which is not my preference. I like this unit alot.

how many pics can it hold so for example I have 600 pics on a sd card would it hold that many pics in the frame
