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?

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

Yup- need to have some data on there...it helps! Too bad the SD card reader is limited to SD and won't play the newer SDHC. So the card reader is limited to 2 gigs. Somewhat useful but not supe-useful for video as many of those files or folders are well over 2 gigs.

I have reviewed the manual and they talk about built in memory, but they never give any size. The only way I get picture to display is from a memory card or USB flash drive.

Hello there Andrea. I am really not sure if the frame has that capability however what it can do is what I believe may be a "workaround." You have the ability to upload your photos onto an SD card. Those pictures are uploaded in the order you indicate such as folder names or dates etc. If your looking to display photos of Christmas you may do so either by photo name or date or random within the specified folder. That way you can play the holidays in order of year and even further filter by person/child. Now, what I do is something I have gotten quite a bit of feedback on. I have two children that I have taken on several trips all over the globe. I fly for a commercial airline so I have well in excess of 20k photos. I have them randomly playing from randomly chosen folders with random transition between photos. So literally you never see the same photo twice. All in all you have to remember, you are going to get out of your frame only what you are willing to put into it. Also, at this price point, you simply cannot beat the performance. One piece of advice, just when you think you have ordered the right size, go larger. I have quite a few now and truly the larger size frames are incredible. I hope this helps! Best and good luck!

Yes you can see them and download them if you choose. I used this on a long vacation downloaded about 7,000 photos, it worked perfectly.

It has some limited memory, but I have not figured out how to move the pictures over, so I just leave the flash drive in. I have had a lot of trouble with this frame and do not recommend it.

Yes you should becaise the internal memory is too small. If you take 3 pictures the internal memory will be full..

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.

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.

As far as I know it will transfer RAW files but will not display them (it will transfer any files off the card.) A workaround is to shoot RAW+JPEG; it will then display the JPEGs. There is a maximum size of 4mb; it will transfer photos above this size but won't be able to display them. I have displayed images up to 12.8 megapixels (Canon 5D) on it (photos were under 4mb.)

I've taken a couple thousand pictures with mine since December 07. I think the problem is the image size/resolution setting. If you take every photo like you might want a huge enlargement from it, the process of recording to the card is what takes a long time. I think it's going to be slow, but I'd play around with smaller resolution etc. to find a bearable compromise.@S.K., yes it seems worst if you're using flash and stale batts.

Indeed, the camera hasn't got a "total number of shots" counter accessible to the user.Mine has nulled the file-numbering three times though, so I know I have over 30 000 shots on it.- It has been semi-retired now for the 5d Mk III, so it will only operate as a backup camera in the future (still working perfectly though)

I have no idea what the memory limit is however we have a Sandisk 16GB memory stick that works great. Also, when we purchased our digital frame, there were reviews indicating poor reliability. Ours has been going strong for a year now.

I have a Moultrie camera that uses up to 32 Gb SD cards but could not get a straight answer on whether either of the Moultrie viewers would read a 32 Gb card (some said yes, but specs say 16 Gb max). This viewer reads my 32 Gb SD cards out of my Moultrie camera and displays still photos and video both very nicely. I recommend it.What's interesting is that I contacted Moultrie about putting 32 Gb SD cards in their viewers and couldn't get an answer. I called Wildgame and asked them if this viewer would take cards formatted for use in a Moultrie camera and they knew right away they would work and stated they had tested them for use with Moultrie.

I use a 4-gig card with this camera and I shoot at the maximum quality jpeg. If memory serves me right, I can usually get 700 - 850 pictures on a full card, though I rarely do so for exactly the reasons I mentioned earlier. Always back up your pictures! Twice, if you can help it!

Hi there! This Sony Digital Photo Frame doesn't support video playback. It can only play still images. -Ely

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.
