does it work well with iPhoto? Is there a way and do I need to uniformly set the settings, such as size, resolution, thru iPhoto onto a memory stick?

I am not sure what iPhoto does but whatever images you placed in the USB drive, the digital frame will display them in verbatim. It won't crop, resize, or adjust the resolution for you. I was not very impressed with the unit and returned it.

Works fine with iPhoto, so long as your photo library is located on the NAS, and you're ok with the slower running speeds of operating the iPhoto software over your network.

I just got this as a gift for Christmas. We have a sony digital camera that uses the memory sticks. The digital frame will play pics from the memory stick. However, if you have pictures on the internal memory and insert the memory stick, the display will only play the memory stick files. If you want to play the pics from the internal memory, you will need to take the memory stick out. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, I don't remember for certain how mine worked...or didn't work. I sent it back after about an hour of trying to get it to even be recognized by my computer there was very little (if anything) that DID work the way it was supposed to. I suggest you do the same. Return it and remember...most of the time...you get what you pay for. I ended up buying a very nice camera I'm pleased with on ebay for something like $20-$30. Good luck.

With the stick that I am using I only have about 120 pictures. I think the number will depend on the device that you use in the frame. I don't think it has an internal memory. For me, I just use sticks and change them when I want to.

I am not sure about how to resize the photo. On my mac, iPhoto helps me though the process. I just started to do this kind of thing myself.So, I am not to good with all of this yet.

I could not get this thing to owrk - I brought an additional SD video card - still does not work right - I used the memory in the camera - and yes - it works well - with that - but the memory feels up really fast - so - its a bust for me - I was thinking about returning it - but - I knew they would kill me - so I decided to keep it. Honestly I dont even use it - its in th closet collecting dust. hope this helps.

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!

Save it as a jpeg before putting it on your SD card and it should work? We love ours!

The recommended method of transferring photos from iPhoto to smart card, or hard drive, etc. is to use the File; Export; Kind- jpeg;(I use maximum - full size). No problems for the past year of use.

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.

I don't know about dpi. With mine I get sharp pictures if using the "P" program mode. Set to 7M pixels and on the image quality set to "fine". I leave it there. If I use the "auto" mode (little picture of camera) I don't get as clear pictures.

Robin S: I don't use this camera anymore. It was very hard to set up for me, and it has terrible software with it. I have some friends that have different cameras that actually work. My advise is to look at a different camera. You get what you pay for. Did I mention that it is huge and a monstrosity.

Hi K!I am plugging it into the USB port directly, I don't have a card reader. iPhoto didn't recognize it... its own software that came on the cd (ancient) didn't see it... I got out the instructional booklet and did all the dumb stuff... you know. The spec's for the product don't advertise that they cover 10.5.5, which is the sad part. I'm hoping that's something they will fix soon? Or I'll figure out a workaround soon. Let me know if you have any luck!

I agree it works well even with 4GB card. When I use external card reader to upload pics to the card and then I plug the card to the frame itself. Its weird that whan I use 2GB CF card I can upload pics via cable PC-FRAME but when I use SD card I have to use external reader.Anyway looks like it way to go by now. I also dont feel secure to update to the firmware that is older than what I curently have and hope that upcoming 10" model wont have such issues.Thanx for reply.

Hello D. Hall have you already bought the camera?? I did and I am not very happy with it. the pictures it takes in the auto mode are not what I was waiting.. and the pictures with the movement mode.. are not clear enough... so tell me please if you get it and if it is working fine.

I love my camera! I've never really used it for that type of pics, but for me it does great. I took some pics of my brothers wedding, Kind of an indoor outdoor setting & I'd did great both ways. I think you'll really like it.
