Conclusion: Good value with a caveat
Review: This is an economical digital picture frame with a small caveat. First, as if you needed this bit of advice, look for it on sale. A sale price makes it an even better value thsn it already is.
You get what you pay for. The screen is good-sized, but the resolution is a bit on the coarse side. Purists who want super-fine resolution will not be pleased with this unit - but they will pay three times more to get that super-fine resolution. As it is, the resolution on this screen should be adequate for most people. By the way, I found that reducing the images to 800 x 600 provides a nice balance between image quality and image size. Roughly 100 photos required only 36 Megabytes of storage.
There are thirteen transition mode and choosing a random pattern provides an interesting slide show. You can also choose the display time: 3, 5, 10 or 30 seconds.
Viewing angles are somewhat limited, but this isn't designed to provide auditorium presentations. Color reproduction is faithful to the original, so the time you put in on color correcting your photos will not be wasted.
The nasty part concerns image viewing size and a certain inflexibility in presentation.
That's the good news. Here is the drawback.
There are three display modes: Normal, Widescreen and Cinema.
Cinema strikes me as useless: it stretches the left and right sides while trying not to stretch the center to fill the 16:9 screen. The results are grotesque.
The Normal mode displays the original without changing the aspect ratio. Thus, regular photos will occupy only a portion of the 7" screen, which strikes me as something of a waste. So, either crop your photos as close to a 16:9 ratio as you can or live with the black sidebars.
The Widscreen mode enlarges the photo to fill the 16:9 screen. Note the word "enlarges". It lops off parts of the top, bottom, right and left sides and adds a somewhat unappealing stretching on some photos. The close-up you took of Aunt Margaret will add the appearance of about of thirty extra pounds to her face.
Your best bet to optimize the value of the 7" screen is to take the extra time and crop to a 16:9 ratio. Alternatively, you can just leave a lot of space around your main subjects to accomodate the trimming of the image in Widescreen mode.
On the whole, this is an economical digital picture frame withe caveat discussed above. Do look around for this on sale to maximize value.

Conclusion: Cheap and workable.
Review: Good for the price. Pretty hard to get the memory card out without using a tool. Grandma was really happy!

Conclusion: Love Love Love it!
Review: I bought this frame for my dad for Father's Day, but had also bought a frame previously for my girlfriend. This one was super simple to set up and we loaded up pictures as well as videos (with sound!). It offers different options for loading up pictures, and scrolling through the menus is very easy. The remote control doesn't work as nicely as I'd like (usually takes more than one push to get what I want) but overall I'm really happy (and so is my dad)!

Conclusion: Decent Frame for the price
Review: We bought this frame as a gift to my wife's grandmother for mother's day this year. Overall the picture quality was decent. Kodak's picture frames have a nicer quality to them in terms of the display clarity. But they are understandably more expensive. My only issue with this frame was that it has no port (USB, et al) to load the pictures from a computer. It only has the memory card slot so you need to user a memory card reader/writer attached to your computer to get the pictures onto that card, then put the card in the frame. Luckily for us, we had a Kodak frame that DOES have the USB port on it, so we loaded the pictures onto that frame, ejected the kingston memory chip from the kodak, and put that chip into this frame before wrapping up the gift. All in all, the recipient was very happy with her gift and aside from trouble with getting the card loaded up with pics, this was a pretty easy gift to put together.
