that's APPLE stuff for ya! Subsequently to my inquiry, I purchased frame and loaded a san disk and an x-d card. Both played beautifully.

Instructions are very misleading. Had to export photos from Apple to memory stick, then put into PC and transfer to Sun Card from camera then put into frame and load ONE AT A TIME and even then half were rejected for "unsupported format" even though they were iPhoto complaint jpg. You get what you pay for here, not much but some fun as a gift anyway.....oh, and pandigital has no website which is strange

One thing to make sure you do is put the card in and format it from the camera menu. I have yet to use it in a camera, I have only used it in my PSP, but it works great.

Yes the camera has some memory, but not very much. Suggest you purchase addtional memory if you want to store a lot of pics on your camera. Yes you can download pics to your PC. When I purchased my camera , it had a special deal including cable and case, extened SD card was extra.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

You can get a SD card but sometimes the nand flash drive will get the app before the card and the card is never used. This is a good tablet but you can only have about 25 games on it.

Yes. I loaded about 400 pictures to a SD card and inserted it into the frame. Worked great!

The manual does not give a definite answer to the question of 'How big can Memory Cards be in Capacity?' It says "The simple answer is that our frames will accept most High-Capacity Memory cards like, for example 16 GB SDHC Card. However, bear in mind that if there are thousands of files on your card and they are in different folders or formats ... this will probably slow the frame's processor... should be able to view up to 10,000 photos per memory device... Hope that helps.

You need to remove the mini SD chip from the device and play it on a PC, phone or other device. It comes with a USB reader to plug it into your PC.

As big as you can buy? Storage card is not dependent on anything...it is considered an external device. We have a 16gb and I routinely dump 3000 pictures over a month. Most I ever had was 4200

Yes with the supplied usb cable you should have no problem downloading pics to a computer and if you have a computer with an sd card slot you can also download pics that way.

The internal memory is VERY limited, so yes, buy a memory card. I have been able to download to Picase3....

It depends on how big your pictures are, and what kind of additional media you use. I don't use the onboard media. I like to have several flash cards that are loaded up and swap them out, so I can rotate through thousands of pictures.

To your question yes it can play from a thumb drives very well, also it can play hard drives no matter if it's a Mac or PC which is very good for me.So the answer to your question is yes it's a very good product to play from thumb drives even a thumb drive with the flash card embedded.I really enjoy having purchasing this media player it's amazing also I can get online and watching Netflix and Hulu, Facebook, YouTube this is really great device.

Not sure what is meant by 'internal memory' in this case...there is some memory function that allows settings for picture display/slide show, and options for duration, but it has no memory into which pictures can be loaded/stored. You supply either a memory card compatible w/ the slots provided (see product specs for what kind), or a USB Thumbdrive (which is what I used), and the frame displays the pictures you have stored on them.

A little more info... There are a lot of options for storing and viewing pics. The device makes these fairly intuitive. Cloud storage is the method the company would rather you use. You upload pics to the cloud and they are downloaded to your device. Once downloaded they are on your device and stored in the cloud. This is useful but not my preferred method. You can store pics on a usb or sd card and view them on the device. I haven't experimented with moving pics from the sd / usb to the cloud or vice versa so I don't know if it's possible but that would be a great option. My guess is that's not possible currently. (Nixplay, if you're reading, that would be a great option. Did I mention that would be a great option?) Pics that are emailed to the device end up in the cloud. Again, it would be great if one could move the pics from one type of storage to the other. Basically, the same goes for Facebook or Picasa or whatever accounts. They end up in the Nixplay cloud (as well as in your original FB / Picasa / whatever account). As previously stated, if the Internet connection were to go down you'd still have whatever was already downloaded or on a usb or sd card.

Yes. You can play stored movie files directly from the sd card or transfer it to the internal memory. I would keep it on the sd card, though.
